Precautionary measures

General Information

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.

•Safely 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!
