Safety Precautions︱
These usage and safety guidelines are IMPORTANT! Please follow them carefully.
General Use
•
Carefully unpack the contents of the StoreJet 25 package.
•
During operation, avoid exposing your StoreJet 25 to extreme temperatures above 55℃, or below 5℃.
•
Do not drop your StoreJet 25.
•
Do not allow your StoreJet 25 to come in contact with water or any other liquids.
•
Do not use a damp/wet cloth to wipe or clean the exterior case.
o Do not store your StoreJet 25 in any of the following environments: Direct
sunlight
o Next to an air conditioner, electric heater or other heat sources o In a closed car that is in direct sunlight o In an area with strong magnetic fields or excessive vibration
•
If your Windows computer will not boot while StoreJet 25 is connected, please disconnect the StoreJet 25 to your computer first and connect the StoreJet 25 after starting Windows. Otherwise, refer to your computer's manual and change the BIOS settings to instruct the computer to boot from a different device.
Backing up Data
•
Transcend does NOT take any responsibility for data loss, or damage during operation. If you decide to store data on your StoreJet 25 we strongly advise that you
regularly backup the data to a computer, or other storage medium.

Transporting
•
Do not pack the StoreJet 25 into luggage without proper padded support. Other items in your luggage may damage the drive during travel if it does not have proper protection.
•
Avoid squeezing or compressing the StoreJet 25.
•
Do not place objects on top of your StoreJet 25.
Power
•
The StoreJet gets its power directly from your computer’s USB port. However, the power supplied by the USB ports on some older computers does not meet the stable 5V DC power requirements of the StoreJet. If your StoreJet does not function properly upon connecting it to your computer, please plug BOTH ENDS of the USB Y-cable into your computer.
Both ends of the USB Y-cable should be connected to provide ample power to the StoreJet
The Power Cable can provide additional power for the StoreJet 25 if necessary (SJ25M3 / SJ25D3)
•
Use only the USB cable that came with the StoreJet 25 to connect it to a computer, and always ensure that the cable you are using is in good condition. NEVER use a cable that is frayed or damaged.
•
Ensure nothing is resting on the USB cable and that the cable is not located where it can be tripped over or stepped on.
Reminders
Always follow the procedures in the “Disconnecting from a Computer” section to remove the StoreJet from your computer.

NOTE: Always plug both large ends of the Y-cable into your computer. If only one

• Computers running Windows and Mac OS will automatically detect and install the StoreJet 25. To use USB 3.0, please ensure your computer has all necessary USB 3.0 drivers installed, and make sure you plug the USB Cable into the correct port on your computer (USB 3.0 ports are usually color-coded to differentiate them from USB 2.0)
