Thank you for selecting your HP Pocket Media
Drive. It is an external hard disk drive with a large

The HP Pocket Media Drive connects and
disconnects easily from a USB 2.0 or USB 1.1
connector on the front or back of most computers.

On some Hewlett-Packard computers, the HP Pocket
Media Drive is designed to fit inside a horizontal or
vertical drive bay.

Your HP Pocket Media Drive comes with backup
software (select models only) that is compatible with
most Microsoft

Safe handling information

The HP Pocket Media Drive is designed to be used
as a stationary unit. It is very important that you
handle your drive carefully to avoid hardware
damage and data loss. Please read the following
warnings before attempting to install, use, or move
your HP Pocket Media Drive:

Care and handling of your HP Pocket Media Drive

®

Windows™ operating systems.

• Incorrect handling, such as dropping the drive, can

cause data loss and invalidates the warranty.

• Do not attempt to open the drive’s case. This action

voids the warranty.

• Do not set the drive on its side, as it may fall over

and cause damage.

• Do not remove any cables or power cords without

properly disconnecting the drive through the
operating system.

• Do not set any liquids or drinks on the drive. Liquids

can damage the internal electronics.

• Do not block airflow around the drive while the drive

is turned on.

• Do not stack anything on top of the drive; this can

overheat and damage your drive.
