Setting up

Connecting the cables

Connect the external hard disk to your computer using a free USB 3.0 port.
You will also be able to connect the device to computers through a 1.1 USB or a
2.0 USB port. However, the transfer speed will then be significantly lower.
Information
Operation with 3.0 USB port is only possible with the USB cable with 3.0
USB specifications supplied with the device. Although the use of a 2.0
USB cable is possible it will not, however, offer the speed advantage of
the 3.0 USB standard.
1. Start your computer and wait until Windows® has been fully loaded.
2. Connect the USB cable to the USB connection on your external hard disk.
3. Connect the other end of the connection cable to your computer.
4. Now connect the power adaptor to a power socket that can easily be reached.
Plug the rounded DIN end of the power adaptor into the corresponding sock-
et in the hard disk.
5. The operating indicator (blue LED) will light up as soon as the hard drive is
connected to a source of electricity.

dows® Vista/XP/ Windows®7.
Information
You will be able to use the hard drive directly through the data haven,
without a cable connection, if you own a MEDION PC equipped with the
data haven 3. Data havens of the older generation are not compatible. A
direct connection, without a USB cable, will not be possible for this rea-
son.
