before connecting the flash drive to your computer.
SimpleTech recommends that you avoid using the USB port on
Macintosh computer keyboards. This port may not have enough power
to adequately support the USB 2.0 interface.
Remove the protective cap, then plug the flash
drive into the USB connector on your computer.
If necessary, use a USB extension cable (not
included) to connect the flash drive to your
computer. Keep in mind that the length of the
extension cable cannot exceed 6 feet
(1.83 meters).
