You will find below some advice for use and technical expla-
nations about how your FlyCASE PRO works, as well.
ADVICE ON S TA RTING UP Y OUR F LYCASE PRO
• After start-up of the system, the power statu s LED should
shine a continuous blue light and the disk access LED should
be off. If the power LED is off or flashing, there may be a pro-
blem with power supply.
• Connect the external power supply. If the power LED is still
off, verify :
- That the On/Off switch at the rear of the FlyCASE PRO is “On”.
- Try to use another Mains socket.
- Try to change the external power supply.
If the problem p ersists, contact t echnical support at your
PikaOne dealer.
ADVICE ON U SING YOUR FLYCASE PRO
If your FlyCASE PRO must be connected to diff e rent types of
computers, we advise you to for mat your FlyCASE in FAT 32
file system with the "PikaFORMAT" software. It is worth kno-
wing also that FAT 32 format offers additional benefits in term s
of perf o rmance, hard disk management (the cluster size (logi-
cal zone) is smaller than that of FAT 16 format) and in t erm s
of information re l i a b i l i t y. For these reasons we recommend that
in every case you choose FAT 32 format.
CAUTION
A n t i v i rus software that is not designed to function on a FAT 32 file
system risks destroying all data on a FAT 32 disk, since it will treat the
file system as a virus.
If your computer must only be used with MAC, it is preferable for re a-
sons of perf o r-mance and compatibility between several MACs to for-
mat your disk in HFS+ system.
