Connecting the FireFly to a PC

1

Connect one end of the USB cable to the USB port on your computer. 

2

Connect the other end to the USB port on FireFly. The FireFly icon appears in 

My 

Computer

 and in 

Windows Explorer

The FireFly is assigned the next available drive letter. For example, if your hard drive 
is assigned the letter C: and a removable CD Writer is currently installed on your 
computer using the letter D:, then the letter E: is assigned to the FireFly.

Congratulations! You can now transfer files to and from FireFly. 

Caution

Before connecting and using FireFly, put it on a stable surface. 
Sudden movement during operation may cause data transfer errors 
and may damage the hard disk.

Note

If you are a Windows 98 or Windows 98SE user, follow the 
instructions on page 10 after you perform the steps below.

Caution

Do not force the connection as damage may occur to the connector 
or the USB port.

The FireFly is 

assigned the next 

available drive 

letter when it is 

connected
