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.
Kensington Security Slot
For drive security, the device is equipped with a security slot, which supports a standard Kensington security cable. For more information on the Kensington security slot and available products, visit www.kensington.com.

3 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.
