Power Management
This device runs solely on USB bus power. Your USB port on
the host side has to provide sufficient bus power to use this
drive.
If the supplied bus power is limited or insufficient, a special
USB power cable (Y-cable) is required to use the power from
two USB ports at the same time. For optimal power
consumption, we recommend using a short and thick USB
cable (20-30cm), and a drive with low power consumption.
When connecting the drive to your computer, we strongly
recommend using the USB onboard connector and not a USB
front extension or hub.
About Data Backup
To protect your files and help prevent the loss of your data, we
strongly recommend that you keep two copies of your data,
one copy on your Freshman and a second copy either on your
internal drive or another storage media such as a CD, DVD,
Tape or an additional external drive. Any loss or corruption of
data while using the Freshman is the sole responsibility of the
user, and under no circumstances will the manufacturer be
held liable for compensation or the recovery of this data.
