Before connecting the cables make sure the Freecom Mobile Drive Secure is switched
off.
1. Connect the interface cable (USB) to the Freecom Mobile
Drive Secure.
2. Connect the interface cable (USB) to the interface port (USB)
of your computer.
Since USB 2.0 is backwards compatible with USB 1.1, the Freecom Mobile
Drive Secure 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 Secure will be much lower than when the drive is connected to a USB
2.0 port.
For optimum performance the Freecom Mobile Drive Secure should always
be connected to a USB 2.0 interface.
