Using the Unit

When you connect the unit to your computer with the USB cable, the Portable HardDisk Media appears as “GIGA VAULT (D:)” (where “D” is the letter of the drive. This letter may vary depending on your computer). The Portable HardDisk Media is recognized as an external mass storage device, therefore you can use it as you would any other hard disk to save files and/or folders.

The access indicator on the Portable HardDisk Media allows you to verify its status when you access it.
