2. Getting Started
!
Charging the Wireless Drive
!
Although the Wireless Drive is shipped with a charged battery, we urge you to fully
charge the Drive before you begin to use it. (This can take up to two hours.)
!
• Plug your Wireless Drive into a computer USB port or a USB AC adaptor to
charge it:
!
!
!
!
!
!
!
!
!
!
!
!
!
!
!
!
• The in-app Battery Level Indicator will give you instant information as to your
device battery status.
!
!
!
!
!
!
!
!
!
!
!
!
!
!
!
!
!
!
!
Note: Although the Wireless Drive cannot be used wirelessly while it’s plugged into a
computer USB port, it can be used as a normal flash drive. However, the Drive can be
used wirelessly while it’s charging in a USB AC adaptor. If you want to use the Drive
while it’s plugged into an adaptor, be sure to turn it on before you plug it in.
