General Information
Precautionary measures
To ensure that your Freecom Mobile Drive XXS functions properly, please take note of
the following precautions. If these are not followed, you may void your warranty and
damage the Freecom Mobile Drive XXS.
• Safely remove the Freecom Mobile Drive XXS via your operating system (the "unplug
or eject hardware" option in the Windows taskbar) before disconnecting the USB cable
or power cable and before switching off the device. Failing to do so may result in data
loss.
• Do not drop the Freecom Mobile Drive XXS or expose it to other kinds of sudden
mechanical shocks as this may result in data loss and damage to the Freecom Mobile
Drive XXS.
• Do not use the Freecom Mobile Drive XXS when the ambient temperature is below
10°C or above 35°C.
• If the Freecom Mobile Drive XXS is moved from a cool environment to a warmer en-
vironment, please allow the drive to acclimatize to the ambient temperature before
operating the device. Failing to do so may lead to condensation within the drive
enclosure, which in turn may cause the drive to malfunction.
• Do not place liquids or drinks on the Freecom Mobile Drive XXS. When liquids are
spilled and get in contact with the electronics within the drive enclosure, it will dam-
age the drive and will cause the drive to malfunction.
• Do not use the Freecom Mobile Drive XXS in a dusty environment. Dust inside the
enclosure may damage the internal electronics and result in drive malfunction.
• Opening the Freecom Mobile Drive XXS will void the warranty.
• Since USB 2.0 is backwards compatible with USB 1.1, the Freecom Mobile Drive XXS
can be connected to all USB ports. When connected to a USB 1.1 port, however, the
performance (data transfer rate) of the Freecom Mobile Drive XXS will be much lower
than when the drive is connected to a USB 2.0 port.
