This drive is an external hard disk drive with a large capacity designed to quickly and easily store and transfer media files such as digital photos, music, video, and other important files. The HP Personal Media Drive connects and disconnects easily from a USB 2.0 connector on the front or back of most computers. For some HP Computers, the HP Personal Media Drive is designed to fit inside a horizontal or vertical drive bay. Your HP Personal Media Drive comes with backup software (select models only) that is compatible with most Microsoft® Windows® Operating systems. Safe Handling Information The HP Personal Media Drive is designed to be used as a stationary unit. It is very important that you handle this drive carefully to avoid hardware damage and data loss. Please read the following warnings before attempting to install, use, or move your HP Personal Media Drive. Care and Handling of Your HP Personal Media Drive WARNING: The warnings for the care and handling of the HP Personal Media Drive are listed below. • Do not move the drive while it is operating to avoid hardware damage and potential data loss. You can safely move your drive only when you have properly disconnected and powered off the drive through the operating system. • When running for long periods of time, the aluminum case of the Personal Media Drive may become very warm. This is part of the HP Personal Media Drive's advanced design and is completely normal. • The built-in, low-noise fan is designed to automatically turn on at pre-set temperatures. If you are using the HP Personal Media Drive connected externally to your computer, please place the drive in a well-ventilated area. • Do not move the computer with the HP Personal Media Drive attached to a USB port, or while inserted into specially designed Hewlett-Packard computer drive bays. • Incorrect handling, such as dropping the drive, can cause data loss and invalidates the warranty. • Do not attempt to open the drive's case. This action voids the warranty. • Do not set the drive on its side, as it may fall over and cause damage. • Do not remove any cables or power cords without properly disconnecting the drive through the operating system. • Do not set any liquids or drinks on the drive. Liquids can damage the internal electronics. • Do not block airflow around the drive while the drive is turned on. • Do not stack anything on top of the drive; this can overheat and damage your drive.
