Package Contents:

1 Netbook Mate DVD Docking unit

1 Hard Disk Module   

1 USB 2.0 Cable 

1 Users Manual 

 

1 Power Supply

System Requirements:

Microsoft  Windows:  PC  desktop/laptop/netbook  running  Microsoft® 

Windows®  XPSP3 or newer with an available USB 2.0 port.

Mac OS: PCI PowerMac or newer running Apple® MacOS 10.4.11 or 

newer with an available USB 2.0 port

Installation:

1. Plug the AC adapter cord into the power port on the back of the drive. 

The plug should not require much effort to insert. 

2. Plug the AC Adapter into an AC power outlet. 

3. Connect  the  small  USB  2.0  connector  (USB  mini)  of  the  included 

USB  cable  to  a  the  mini  USB  plug  on  the  Netbook  Mate,  and  the 

rectangular end to a free USB port on your computer.

IMPORTANT:  USB  Plugs  are  shaped  so  they  can  only  be 

properly  inserted  one  way.  Be  sure  to  insert  the  plugs 

properly or you may damage the drive and void the warranty. 

The  DVD  Burner  in  the  Netbook  Mate  requires  USB  2.0 

Speed in order to operate correctly. In order to reach USB 

2.0 speeds, you must have a computer or host adapter that 

has USB 2.0 support. Please check your computer or USB 

host bus adapter documentation for more information.

Attaching your disk module to another computer

Your  Netbook  Mate  disk  module  is  connector-compatible  with 

standard USB devices. To connect the Netbook Mate disk module to 

a standalone computer, simply use a standard mini-USB cable (the 

same  kind  as  to  connect  directly  to  your  computer.)  If  you  require 

additional cables you may purchase one from your authorized Fantom 
Drives reseller.

Q: When I try to burn CDs, I get a “Sense Key” error or other 

burning failures

A: This is usually caused by burning at faster speed than the media 

allows.  Make  sure  the  media  you  are  writing  to  is  compatible  with 

the  speed  you  are  trying  to  burn.  Here  are  some  suggestions  to 

successful burning: 

• Try lowering the burn speed down

• Choose “Write CD” option instead of the “Write Session” option

• Optimize (defragment) your source hard disk drive

• The media used may be of low quality or incompatible- try another 

brand.

Q: Can I use my Netbook Mate through a USB hub?

A: Yes, as long as the hub is a powered hub and USB 2.0 compliant. 

Bus powered hubs do not work properly with mass storage devices.  

For best results Fantom Drives recommends connecting directly to a 

USB 2.0 port on the computer.

Q: The solution didn’t work/I have a problem not listed on this page
