Note:
With wrong polarity severe damage may occur to the TEAC USB hard drive.
Driver
Windows
: There is no need to install drivers for your TEAC HD-15PUK (with the exception of Windows98SE). As a plug-and-play device it
is recognized automatically.
When connecting the first time to a Windows98SE system the
Add New Hardware Wizard
comes up and requests you to insert the CD
shipped with the package. Please follow the instructions on the screen.
Windows displays an icon for the USB hard drive in the
My Computer
panel.
Macintosh
: The Macintosh automatically detects the USB hard drive and displays the icon for the USB hard drive on your Macintosh
desktop.
It may take a couple of minutes to mount the USB hard drive on your desktop the first time you connect it to the system. Do not disconnect
the USB hard drive, or cut the power to the USB hard drive, during this process.
Note:
Depending on the supplier the hard disk is preformated as NTFS or FAT32.
Windows
: Because operating systems like Windows 98 and ME are not able to work with NTFS the hard disk has to be formated
with FAT32. To do this you may use the native windows tool “fdisk” or third party software like Partition Magic.
A detailed description you will find on our website www.teac.de/support.
Macintosh
: TEAC recommends that you re-initialize the USB hard drive using the Mac OS 10 X Disk Utility. Mac OS9.2 and older
does not support creating partitions on an external drive. To do that you would need to purchase additional software. Initializing is no
problem on all OS.
Disconnecting the USB Hard Drive from a Computer
Windows
: Left-click on the Hardware disconnecting icon
on the Taskbar at the lower right of the screen. Left-click on the applicable
drive.The message that the USB storage device can be safely disconnected appears in a few seconds to allow you to remove the USB cable
connecting the drive and the computer. Click the OK button to pull out the USB cable.
Macintosh
: Drag the icon for the USB hard drive to the Trash icon on the Macintosh desktop. You may now safely disconnect the USB hard
drive from your computer.
Safety Precautions
To prevent fire or shock, do not expose the unit to moisture or rain.
To prevent electrical shock, do not attempt to disassemble the hard drive. Refer servicing to authorized personnel.
