as music, photos, videos, etc.) to your Android-based tablet device. Serving as its own wireless network, WiDrive’s lithium-polymer battery and 30-ft range give you up to four hours of continuous access to your digital

Install the Wi-Drive Application
To configure Wi-Drive, you must first install the Wi-Drive App (on your tablet) from the on-line Android Market
(Internet access required). The Wi-Drive App is free and allows you to customize the wireless network settings
and wirelessly access the content you’ve uploaded to Wi-Drive. To install the App, please follow these steps:
1. Open the Android Market on your tablet and search for “Kingston Wi-Drive.” See Figure 1.1 below.
2. Locate and select the Wi-Drive App by Kingston Digital, Inc. and tap the ‘FREE’ button link.
3. After selecting ‘FREE,’ the grey button will change to ‘INSTALL.’ Select this button to install the Wi-Drive
application to your Android device.
Once the App has been installed, you may exit the Android Market and proceed to the next section of this manual.
