2. Getting Started

Charging the Wireless Drive

Although the Wireless Drive is shipped with a charged battery, we urge you to fully charge the Drive before you begin to use it. (This can take up to two hours.)

• Plug your Wireless Drive into a computer USB port or a USB AC adaptor to charge it:

• The in-app Battery Level Indicator will give you instant information as to your

device battery status.

computer USB port, it can be used as a normal flash drive. However, the Drive can be used wirelessly while it’s charging in a USB AC adaptor. If you want to use the Drive while it’s plugged into an adaptor, be sure to turn it on before you plug it in.
