1Product Description Contents of the Nexto-eXtreme Package 2
1. Product Description
The Nexto-eXtreme product allows you to save photo and video files from digital
cameras and camcorders to the large amount of storage space of the Nexto
eXtreme, without using a computer. The camera and camcorder can then be
used to record new data. NextoDI has optimized the performance of the Nexto
eXtreme so that data is copied from cameras and camcorders to Nexto-eXtreme
more quickly than to comparable storage devices.
The Nexto-eXtreme device uses a 2.5" Serial ATA (SATA) hard drive. Data stored
on the Nexto-eXtreme can later be copied to a computer – any computer that
recognizes USB or eSATA drives, including PCs and Macintoshes. Nexto-eXtreme
can also be used as a computer backup device.
A Compact Flash slot, a 4in1 memory slot for SD/SDHC/MMC/MS/xD and a USB
mini-AB type connector are available. A USB flash drive or a card reader can be
connected to mini USB (USB OTG) port with the USB host adapter cable.
Data transfers from digital cameras, camcorders, memory cards, or USB devices
to the Nexto-eXtreme are faster than with comparable products, because of
NextoDI’s proprietary X-Copy technology.
Power is supplied via a built-in LiPo rechargeable battery or via an AC power
adapter unit which is also responsible for charging the batteries.
Functions are controlled via a built-in LCD display with easy one-key operation.
The features include:
● Built-in LiPo rechargeable battery for extended running time and easy
charging.
● Ability to copy data (via Compact Flash slot, 4in1 slot or USB type mini-AB
connector) to the hard drive, without using a computer.
● Rapid data transfer from memory cards to the hard drive.
● Hardware based full bit-bit data verification for error free data copy.
● Two ways to connect to a computer - via USB2.0 and high speed eSATA.
Read these operating instructions carefully. They contain important
information on installation, operation and handling of the Nexto-eXtreme.

11. Charging and Installing Batteries
A "LiPo" (lithium-polymer) rechargeable battery is included in the Nexto-eXtreme. This
battery can be recharged before its charge has been completely drained. Furthermore, it is
more powerful than conventional NiCad and NiMH rechargeable batteries.
The Nexto-eXtreme needs a small quantity of current at all times. Recharge the battery
completely, about once a month, so the device will be ready for use at all times. If the
battery fails, see the chapter on "Battery Disposal".
It is possible to charge the battery via a USB connection (without the AC
power adapter.) A USB connection with its own power supply (such as the USB
port of a computer or a USB hub with power unit) would be needed. The
Nexto-eXtreme must be turned off in order to charge the battery using a USB
connection. If the Nexto-eXtreme is used with a laptop, then you must always
use the AC power adapter unit to charge the Nexto-eXtreme, since some
laptops cannot deliver the necessary current via USB.
The battery can be charged using the AC power adapter cable included in this product.
1. Connect the charger’s wall plug to the Nexto-eXtreme’s "DC IN" connection.
2. Plug the AC power adapter unit into a wall socket.
3. The LED on the Control (COPY) key shows red when the battery is charging.
4. When the battery is charged, the red LED turns off.
5. If there is an error during charging, the LED blinks. If this happens, unplug the AC adapter
unit and plug it in again.
6. If the optional external battery is connected to the "BAT" connector, both the internal and
external batteries will be charged at the same time.
7. If the battery is completely drained, the charging procedure will take approximately 5
hours.
Damaging the rechargeable battery or its wrapping might cause an explosion or
fire. Never short circuit the contacts of the rechargeable battery. Never touch
connections or electric components inside the Nexto-eXtreme with metal
objects.
Auto Copy On/Off
If this option is “On”, data “COPY” will
automatically begin 5 seconds after the
insertion of a memory card or USB device.
Use a (L)ong stroke (press the COPY key for
more than 1 second) to change this option.



Auto Move On/Off
If you turn on “Auto Move”, data will be automatically copied from
any device you attach to the Nexto-eXtreme. The data will be
verified (doubling the copy time) and the data on the peripheral
device will be deleted.
If this option is “On”, data “MOVE” will be automatically started 5
seconds after the insertion of the memory card or USB device.
Use a (L)ong stroke (press the key for more than 1 second) to
change this option.
The “Auto copy” option and “Auto move” option cannot be “ON” at the same
time.

The Nexto-eXtreme is sometimes delivered with a hard drive installed. If a drive is not
included, or if the drive fails, or if you wish to install another hard drive, you may do so. You
need a 2.5" Serial ATA hard drive; its installation height must not exceed 9.5mm. Supported
hard drive capacity is up to 2,000GB (two terabytes.)
Nexto-eXtreme does not support PATA or IDE hard drives.

●The hard drive must then be formatted.
25 Installing and Formatting a Hard Drive Installing and Formatting a Hard Drive 26
Formatting the Hard Drive
The hard drive in the Nexto-eXtreme must be formatted as file system "FAT32." Only the first
partition can be used by the Nexto-eXtreme.
In Windows XP and Vista Systems, hard drives are formatted with the file system
"NTFS"; no "FAT32" format option is available. If you are using a drive that was
previously formatted by a NTFS system, you must reformat it with the
Nexto-eXtreme formatting function explained in the section, below, entitled
“Using a Hard Drive Which is Already Formatted.”. For Macintosh OS, although
its internal hard drives are formatted with the HFS+ (Mac OS Extended,) FAT32 is
recognized by the MAC OS.
To Format a New Hard Drive
The Nexto-eXtreme must not be connected to the computer via USB or eSATA. Remove any
memory cards or USB devices from the Nexto-eXtreme.
● When the Nexto-eXtreme is turned on after installing a new hard drive, an error message
will appear ("Disk Format Error"), indicating that the drive is not formatted (new drives are
usually delivered non-partitioned and non-formatted).
● To format the drive, use a (L)ong stroke (press and hold the key for more than 1 second).
Nexto-eXtreme will format the new hard drive.
Confirm HDD
Format !
▶ ▶

If you select “FORMAT” all existing partitions and data will be deleted. One
new “FAT 32” partition encompassing the whole capacity of the hard drive
will be created. Be sure to backup any valuable data on the hard drive
before using the drive in the Nexto-eXtreme.
● After the drive has been successfully formatted, Nexto-eXtreme
indicates how much space is available at the top left corner of
the display.
● If the display says "X-Copy Not Available" the drive has not been
formatted successfully. Use another drive, or consult an IT
professional.
Using a Hard Drive which is Already Formatted
●To re-partition/format the hard drive, use a (S)hort stroke
(press and quickly release the COPY key) to get to the menu.

●Use a (S)hort stroke (press and quickly release the COPY key
several times) to select the menu item "Format”. The small
star "*" indicates the selected menu item. Confirm the
selection with a (L)ong stroke (press and hold the key for
more than 1 second).
● The “X-Copy Ready” message indicates that the hard drive in
the Nexto-eXtreme has been formatted, and is ready to use.
●Then, you may repartition and reformat the hard drive.
Confirm the selection with a (L)ong stroke (press and hold the
key for more than 1 second). To cancel, use a (S)hort stroke
(press and quickly release the COPY key.)
If you have a spare 2.5" hard drive you may use it in the Nexto-eXtreme. If the partition
(or the first partition, if several have been created) is a FAT32-partition, then it can be
used immediately. The existing data will not be overwritten or deleted. Further partitions
(e.g. the second or third partition on the hard drive) cannot be used; they are available to
your computer when the Nexto-eXtreme is connected to the computer via USB or eSATA.
Also, you can use an old hard drive by partitioning/reformatting it. All data on the hard
drive will be lost during reformatting. Back up the drive to your computer or another
storage device first if you wish to save the data.
