Chapter 1: Installation of the Freecom software (PC)

Before you can use the Sync button on your Freecom Hard Drive Pro, you need to install the Freecom Personal Media Suite software first.

Note: To use the functions of the Freecom Personal Media Suite described in this handbook, your Freecom Hard Drive Pro has to be connected to your PC.

The sync button will only work with certain eSATA host controllers when connected over eSATA. In some cases the sync button will not work when the device is connected via eSATA to the computer. This is related to a compatibility issue of the eSATA host controller. Should this be the case, the synchronization process can be initiated from the Freecom Personal Media Suite by clicking the“sync now”button. When connected over USB, the sync button works on all USB hosts that have the bundled Freecom Personal Media Suite installed.
