Getting Started with Rover

Your SmartDisk Rover is both entertaining and versatile, featuring portable data storage, an MP3 music player, FM radio, and voice recorder. Let’s get started quickly by copying some MP3’s from your computer to Rover and enjoying the music. Later, you can read through the rest of the manual to learn more about the advanced features of your new companion.

Install the Battery

Install the included AAA battery by sliding open the battery door on the back of your Rover with your thumb. Insert the battery, observing the correct orientation of + and –, and slide the battery cover back in place.

Connect Rover to your Computer

Windows 98SE Users

If your PC is running Windows 98SE, you’ll need to first download a driver from the Internet and install it on your computer. Please visit the SmartDisk support web site (see Getting Help later in this manual) and follow the links for Rover support to obtain all the instructions necessary to download, install, and use the software. When completed, you can proceed to Connecting Rover to connect your Rover.

If you are running Windows Me, Windows 2000, or Windows XP, no software installation is required; just skip on to Connecting Rover.

Mac OS 8.6 Users

If your Macintosh is running Mac OS 8.6 and your computer did not come with USB support built-in or you have an older model, your system may not have Apple’s USB Mass Storage Support package installed, necessary for USB connectivity.

SmartDisk recommends that you try connecting your Rover before installing this Apple update, as on most systems it is
