General Information
Precautionary measures
To ensure that your Freecom ToughDrive Sport functions properly, please take note of
the following precautions. If these are not followed, you may void your warranty and
damage the Freecom ToughDrive Sport.
• S
afely remove the Freecom ToughDrive Sport via your operating system (the "unplug
or eject hardware" option in the Windows taskbar) before disconnecting the USB cable
or power cable and before switching off the device. Failing to do so may result in data
loss.
•
Do not drop the Freecom ToughDrive Sport (more than 2 m) or expose it to other
kinds of sudden mechanical shocks as this may result in data loss and damage to the
Freecom ToughDrive Sport.
•
Do not use the Freecom ToughDrive Sport when the ambient temperature is below
10°C or above 35°C.
•
If the Freecom ToughDrive Sport is moved from a cool environment to a warmer
environment, please allow the drive to acclimatize to the ambient temperature
before operating the device. Failing to do so may lead to condensation within the
drive enclosure, which in turn may cause the drive to malfunction.
•
Do not place liquids or drinks on the Freecom ToughDrive Sport. When liquids are
spilled and get in contact with the electronics within the drive enclosure, it will dam-
age the drive and will cause the drive to malfunction.
•
Do not use the Freecom ToughDrive Sport in a dusty environment. Dust inside the
enclosure may damage the internal electronics and result in drive malfunction.
•
Opening the Freecom ToughDrive Sport will void the warranty.
• Since USB 2.0 is backwards compatible with USB 1.1, the Freecom ToughDrive Sport
can be connected to all USB ports. When connected to a USB 1.1 port, however, the
performance (data transfer rate) of the Freecom ToughDrive Sport will be much lower
than when the drive is connected to a USB 2.0 port.
On some computers it might occur that the USB port does not deliver enough
power to the ToughDrive Sport. In that case, you need to use an external power
supply.
For safety reasons you must only use Freecom’s Power Supply Part.No. 30921.
Don’t use any other power supply!
