Before You Start
Important Notice
●Carefully read the entire manual before operating.
●Make sure the source device is correct and functioning.
●Equal capacity of source and target is recommended for guaranteed data consistency.
●Using the Copy+Compare function provides the most flawless duplication.
●Damage incurred due to non-compliance with U-Reach operating instructions will void
the warranty.
●Store the equipment safely when not in use and keep out of the reach of children.
●Please turn off duplicator before replacing sockets.
●Never turn off the power while the firmware updates.
●Use only approved, stable power sources.
●The power supply has overload protection. When it is overloaded and shutdown,
please unplug the power cord for 2 minutes for discharging.
●Use product only in a clean, dry, dust-free, and ventilated area. Liquids or foreign
debris can severely damage your duplicator.
●It is typical for the machine to heat up during operation.
●While in use, do not move the duplicator or remove SSDs.
●Static electricity may cause duplication error. Please pay attention to the duplicator’s
environment while operating equipment. Purchasing electricity elimination equipment
helps avoid shock.
●Devices will operate at high-temperatures during selected tasks.
●Wear protective gloves to prevent burns when handling devices.

⚫Selecting the Proper Copy Modes
Example: There are two defined partitions in a 500GB device. The charts below illustrate
what portion would be duplicated.
⚫Copy and Compare Preparations
Please consider the following settings before proceeding with copy:
- 6.2 Copy Area
- 6.4 Skip Bad Sectors
Using appropriate copy modes can greatly reduce operation time and increase efficiency.
There are four copy modes with different copy methods.
6.2.1 System and Files
Copies data and skips empty space. Only supports standard formats.
Scroll to select “6.2.1 System and Files”, then press “OK” to save the copy method.
Allows user to copy source device’s System and Files, instead of the entire device. The
system will analyze the source device and identify the data area to copy. If the source
device’s data is within the target device’s capacity, the copy will be processed. FAT16/32/64,
NTFS, EXT2/EXT3/EXT4/LVM, and HFS/HFS+/HFSX are supported in this copy mode.

Scroll to select “6.4 Skip Bad Sectors”, then press “OK” to scroll through the available values
for skipping bad sectors. If the device data is critical and needs to be a full clone, it is
recommended to set “Skip Bad Sectors” at “0.” Bad sectors can be set as unlimited or at a
value from 0 to 65,535.
6.5 Language
Select English, Japanese, Spanish.
Scroll to select “6.5 Language”, then press “OK.” Then scroll through select the desired
language.
Caution
