the USB cable. You can take it ANYWHERE!
The Pockey® is compatible with laptops and desktops,

CARE AND HANDLING
• Please keep the Pockey in the protective
carrying case at all times, even during use, so
as to minimize damage. Always handle your
Pockey carefully.
• Do not move or disconnect the Pockey from your
computer while the Pockey is reading or writing
data. This may cause loss of data or damage to
the hard drive.
• Before unplugging the Pockey or turning off your
computer, click the “stop storage device” icon on
the task bar (or for the Mac, drag the Pockey
into the trash can), then turn the Pockey power
switch to the “OFF” position. Failure to do so
may cause loss of data.
• No formatting is necessary. The Pockey is
already formatted.
• Do not open the outer case. Opening the case
may damage the Pockey, it’s components, or
the hard drive and will VOID THE WARRANTY.
• Avoid exposing the Pockey to extreme
temperatures or humidity. Either may cause
damage to the hard drive.
