USER MANUAL

Power Button

Important: The device powers on automatically upon initial connection to

power, which may take up to three minutes. During this time, do not press the power button. After the initial setup, you need to use the power button to turn the unit on and off.

The power button turns the device on or off. To turn on the device, press the power button and hold it down until the bottom LED illuminates, and then release. Holding the button down for four seconds powers off the device.

When power is applied to the unit by plugging in the external power supply connected to the DC plug connector, the unit automatically powers up. This ensures the unit will automatically restart after a power failure.

If you power down a My Book World Edition by pressing the power button, and disconnect and then reconnect the power plug, the unit powers up for about 30 seconds and then powers itself down. This ensures that the unit will not turn on accidently and remain on if there is a power failure. You need to press the power button to turn the unit on.

Backing Up Computers on the Network

WD Anywhere Backup Overview

WD Anywhere Backup software is a quick, easy and secure way to back up all the computers in your network. Your My World Book Edition CD comes with five licenses for WD Anywhere Backup—each one enabling you to activate a single PC or Mac for continuous backup. Select the files you want to back up, and then set the My Book World Edition and forget it; every time you make a change in your files, it’s automatically backed up.

Important Installation Notes

• Install on Each Computer: You must use the Installation CD to install WD Anywhere Backup on each computer in your network.

• Connect to the LAN and Power On First: You must have your My World Book Edition connected to your local area network and powered on before you install WD Anywhere Backup software. This ensures that the WD Anywhere Backup recognizes your My World Book Edition and installs as the full software version instead of the 30 Day trial version.

2. Insert the software CD into the CD-ROM drive.

Note: If AutoPlay is disabled on your computer, you must install the utilities manually. Click Start and then Computer (Windows Vista/Windows 7) or My Computer (Windows XP). Right-click the CD/DVD drive, click Open, and double-click Setup.exe.

3. Windows Vista/Windows 7: Click Run setup.exe and then click Allow.

One-Click Backup

WD Anywhere Backup allows you to back up all your important data, such as documents, photos, music and videos, on your computer’s hard drive with the click of a button. This feature backs up your data to the My Book World Edition so you can restore your data in the event that your computer’s hard drive crashes.

Setting up Time Machine

To set up Time Machine to back up files on your My Book drive:

1. Use one of the following methods to open Time Machine.

How to Play/Stream Video, Music & Photos

Media Server Overview

My Book World Edition is designed to serve as your home's central media hub. It enables you to stream photos, music, and videos to your home entertainment center and/or other PCs on your home network.
