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 will 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, 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 will 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.

My Book World Edition File Storage

You can access and store content on My Book World Edition via network shares. Shares are folders that can be used to organize and store files on your

My Book World Edition network storage system. Shares can be shared with everyone (public) or with selected users on your network (private).

The device comes preconfigured with three preconfigured and populated shares:

•Public—created automatically after initial setup

•Shared Music - folder for storing music files you want to share with other users.

•Shared Pictures - folder for storing image files you want to share with other users.

•Shared Videos - for storing video files you want to share with other users.

Important: Do not change or delete these default share folders. Disruption of file sharing could result. These are the default folders for the Media Server (Twonky Media) and iTunes Service. For more information on how to use Twonky media, see “How to Play/Stream Video, Music & Photos” on page 36. For more information on how to use the iTunes service, see “Using iTunes with My Book World Edition” on page 44.
