Safety
1. Do not use a liquid cleaning product or a spray to clean the bay. Clean the bay with a damp cloth.
Do not use the bay near water.
2. Do not repair the bay yourself.
Note:
Make sure the audio output, microphone input, FireWire port and USB ports have been
installed on the PC or Mac and that they work correctly before installing and connecting the
bay. If necessary, see the relevant instruction manual.

Make sure you have installed the latest updates, Windows Service Pack (at least SP1 is
required for Windows XP and at least SP4 is required for Windows 2000), USB driver and

Note:
If your computer does not have three USB 2.0 ports and you wish to use all of the bay’s
functions, then we recommend purchasing a USB 2.0 card or hub and connecting the
cables to this (see www.trust.com/13083 for a Trust 5 port USB 2.0 card).
Note:
If your computer has a USB 1.1 port, the bay will work at the USB 1.1 speed. For optimal
