Safety Precautions︱

These usage and safety guidelines are IMPORTANT! Please follow them carefully.

Please ensure that you connect the USB cable to the StoreJet 25F and your
computer correctly (small end à StoreJet 25F, large end à PC)

General Use

• Carefully unpack the contents of the StoreJet 25F package.

• During operation, avoid exposing your StoreJet 25F to extreme temperatures above 55

℃, or below 5℃.

• Do not drop your StoreJet 25F.

• Do not allow your StoreJet 25F to come in contact with water or any other liquids.

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 25F we strongly advise that you
regularly backup the data to a computer, or other storage medium.

• To ensure High-Speed USB 2.0 data transfer rates when using your StoreJet 25F with a

computer, please check that the computer has the relevant USB drivers. If you are
unsure about how to check this, please consult the computer or motherboard User’s
Manual for USB driver information.

Transporting

• Do not pack your StoreJet 25F into luggage without the proper padded support. Other

items in the luggage may damage your StoreJet 25F if it does not have the proper
protection.

• Avoid squeezing your StoreJet 25F (to prevent damage to the internal HDD).

• Avoid placing objects on top of your StoreJet 25F (to prevent compression damage).

Power

• The StoreJet 25F is powered directly via a computer USB port. However, the power

supplied by the USB port on some older computers is below the 5V DC required to
power the StoreJet 25F. In this instance, please connect the spare large connector of
the provided USB Y cable to a second USB port on the computer, this will provide the
additional power necessary to run the drive.

The spare USB connector can provide additional power for

the StoreJet 25F when needed

• Please use the Mini USB to USB A-Type cable that came with the StoreJet 25F 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.

Always follow the procedures in the “Disconnecting from a Computer” section to remove the
StoreJet from your computer.
