Introduction
Your product’s hard drive is a complex electronic storage system and should be
handled with care, as you might treat a sensitive portable computer or other state-of-
the-art consumer electronics product. Do not subject it to shock, high temperatures, or
strong magnetic fields.
Note: Capacity dependent on model. Your operating system may report
capacity as fewer gigabytes. 1 GB = 1,000,000,000 bytes.
Connecting FireLite
Installing your FireLite is extremely simple – just use the included mini-USB cable to
connect your FireLite to any free USB port on your computer. On Windows
computers, a new icon will appear in My Computer representing your FireLite. On
Mac OS systems, your FireLite will appear on the desktop as a new disk.
If your computer is running Windows 98 Second Edition, you will need some
additional software that you can download from the SmartDisk web site. Refer to the
Getting Help section.
If you are using a USB 1.1 port on your Windows computer, the following cautionary
note may appear on your display: Hi-Speed USB Device plugged into non-Hi-Speed
USB hub. This does not indicate a problem because the drive is compatible with both
USB 1.1 and USB 2.0 ports. Simply close the message and proceed. However, in this
case the drive will operate only at USB 1.1 speeds.
If you connect your FireLite and it doesn’t appear to power up, you may need to check
the power settings. See the next section for more details.
Powering FireLite
The power source for your FireLite is selected with the switch on the back of the unit.
When the switch is in the USB position (towards the USB connector), the FireLite will
attempt to draw power from USB. When the switch is in the EXT position (towards
the external power connector), the FireLite will draw power from an external power
source. Some computer systems may not provide enough power through USB to
operate FireLite – in this case you must use an external power source. (If there is
insufficient power for FireLite to mount properly, FireLite will typically make a “click”
sound and its LED will blink once per second.) You may need to purchase the optional
AC Power Adapter (Model ACFLB). Visit SmartDisk.com for more information.

2
Note: Only the SmartDisk 5 volt ACFLB AC Power Adapter should be
connected to the external power connector on your FireLite. Using any other
power adapter (including higher voltage power adapters intended for other
SmartDisk portable hard drives) will void your warranty and may result in
injury, damage to your FireLite, or loss of data.
Storing and Transferring Data
Once your SmartDisk hard drive is connected to a computer, it can be accessed and
used like any other removable disk. You can drag files to your SmartDisk hard drive’s
icon to copy them, navigate to your hard drive in Open or Save dialog boxes, or delete
files stored on your SmartDisk hard drive. For information on copying, opening, or
deleting files, consult your computer’s documentation.
Disconnecting FireLite
Your SmartDisk hard drive is hot-pluggable; it can be connected and disconnected
without restarting your computer. To disconnect your SmartDisk hard drive at any
time, simply perform the following steps. You can also disconnect your hard drive at
any time while your computer is powered off.
Note: Please be careful to follow the correct procedure when disconnecting
your unit. Simply unplugging the unit without first following the instructions
below may result in damage to your unit and/or loss of data.
For Windows Users:
1. If you have files located on your drive open in any applications, close them.
2. Click the Unplug or Eject Hardware button in the System Tray.
3. Select your drive from the menu that appears.
4. After a moment, Windows will display a message that your hardware can be
safely removed.
For Mac OS Users:
1. If you have files located on your drive open in any applications, close them.
2. Locate the icon for your drive on the desktop, and drag it to the trash.

Limited Warranty Terms
SmartDisk Corporation’s warranty obligations for this hardware product are limited to the terms set
forth below:
SmartDisk warrants its products to be free of defects in material and workmanship under normal use
and service for a period of 1 year from the date of purchase or 3 years from the date of manufacture,
whichever occurs first. Products purchased in European Union countries covered by Directive
1999/44/EC are warranted for a period of 2 years from the date of purchase. SmartDisk's sole
obligation with respect to claims of non-conformance made within the warranty period described
above shall be, at its option, to repair or replace any item of Equipment that SmartDisk, in its sole
discretion, determines to be defective.
The Customer shall obtain a Return Merchandise Authorization (RMA) number from SmartDisk
prior to returning any Equipment to SmartDisk under this warranty by contacting Technical Support
(see www.SmartDisk.com). The Customer shall prepay shipping charges for Equipment returned to
SmartDisk for warranty service, and SmartDisk shall pay freight charges for the return of the
Equipment to the Customer, excluding customs duties or taxes, if any. All returns require a dated
original proof of purchase and a letter explaining the problem. Before you deliver your product for
warranty service it is your responsibility to backup all data, including all software programs. You
will be responsible for reinstalling all data. Data recovery is not included in the warranty service and
SmartDisk is not responsible for data that may be lost or damaged during transit or a repair.
SmartDisk will not be responsible for items returned without an RMA or improperly packaged.
Replacement Equipment shall be new or like new in performance and shall be warranted for the
remaining duration of the warranty term of the non-conforming Equipment. All replaced Equipment
shall become the property of SmartDisk. Any claims of defects not made within the warranty period
shall be deemed waived by Customer.
SmartDisk's warranty obligations hereunder are expressly conditioned upon (i.) the Products being
properly installed, used and maintained at all times by Customer; (ii.) the Products not being subject
to unusual mechanical stress or unusual electrical or environmental conditions or other acts of God;
(iii.) the Products not being subjected to misuse, accident or any unauthorized
installation/deinstallation by Customer or other third party; (iv.) the Products not being altered or
modified in an unauthorized manner, unless approved in writing or otherwise performed by
SmartDisk and (v.) Customer promptly installing all Product revisions that have been released for
such Products by SmartDisk throughout the warranty term. SmartDisk does not warrant that the
Products will operate in any specific combination that may be selected for use by Customer or that
the operation of the Products will be uninterrupted or error free, or that all non-conformance or
defects will be remedied. Additionally, SmartDisk shall have no warranty obligations for any failure
of the Products to conform to the applicable product specifications resulting from the combination
of any Product(s) with hardware and/or software not supplied by SmartDisk. If it is determined that
any Product(s) reported as defective or non-conforming by Customer during the warranty period is
not defective or non-conforming, SmartDisk may, at its option, charge Customer for any labor
provided and expenses incurred by SmartDisk in connection with such determination, at
SmartDisk's then current rates.

4
SmartDisk is not liable for any damage to or loss of any programs, data, or other information stored
on any media contained within the SmartDisk hardware product, or any non-SmartDisk product or
part not covered by this warranty. Recovery or reinstallation of programs, data or other information
is not covered under this Limited Warranty.
SmartDisk shall not be responsible for unauthorized sale or misrepresentation by unauthorized third
party resellers. SmartDisk warranties are not transferable with ownership. Products purchased by
auction, yard sale, flea market or purchased as demo units may not be covered under SmartDisk’s
warranty.
THE WARRANTIES OF SMARTDISK AND REMEDIES OF CUSTOMER SET FORTH IN
THIS SECTION ARE EXCLUSIVE AND ARE GIVEN BY SMARTDISK AND ACCEPTED BY
CUSTOMER IN LIEU OF ANY AND ALL OTHER WARRANTIES, WHETHER EXPRESSED
OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION, ALL WARRANTIES OF
MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, ALL SUCH OTHER
WARRANTIES BEING HEREBY EXPRESSLY AND UNEQUIVOCALLY DISCLAIMED BY
SMARTDISK AND WAIVED BY CUSTOMER.

SMARTDISK SPECIFICALLY DOES NOT REPRESENT THAT IT WILL BE ABLE TO
REPAIR ANY PRODUCT UNDER THIS LIMITED WARRANTY OR MAKE A PRODUCT
EXCHANGE WITHOUT RISK TO OR LOSS OF PROGRAMS OR DATA.
