Introduction
Wi-Drive is a portable USB Flash storage device that allows you to wirelessly stream digital media content (such
as music, photos, videos, etc.) to your Kindle Fire tablet device. Serving as its own wireless network, Wi-Drive’s
lithium-polymer battery and 30-ft range give you up to four hours of continuous access to your digital library
anywhere you go. Available in 16GB or 32GB capacities and simple to set up, Wi-Drive is the perfect solution for
expanding your on-the-go media library with devices that have no way of adding to their storage capacity.

and access your Wi-Drive’s content you’ve uploaded to Wi-Drive. To install the App, please follow these steps:
1. Open the Amazon Appstore on your tablet and search for “wi-drive.” See examples below.
2. Locate and select the Wi-Drive App by Kingston Technology and tap the ‘FREE’ button link.
3. After selecting ‘FREE’, the button will turn green and change to ‘Get App.’ Select this button to install the
Wi-Drive application to your Kindle Fire tablet.
Once the App has been installed, you may exit the Amazon Appstore and proceed to the next section of this
manual.
