MY PASSPORT WIRELESS

USER MANUAL

Charging the Battery

1. Connect one end of the cable (included in the box) into the drive’s USB port and the

other end into the adapter (included in the box).

2. Plug the adapter into a wall socket.

3. The LEDs start to pulse. As the drive charges, the Power and Battery Status LED pulses

and changes color. The LED color indicates the amount of battery charge. When the
Power and Battery Status LED is solid blue, the drive is fully charged. (See
“Understanding the LEDs and Buttons” on page 5.)

Other ways to tell If the drive is charging:

On the Home page, a lightning bolt is added to the Battery panel.

On the Hardware page, the Power State changes to Charging.

Viewing Battery Status When Drive is Off

1. Press the WPS button for one second. The Power and Battery Status LED lights in a

color briefly.

Important: It is best to charge the battery before using the My Passport Wireless drive

the first time as the factory charge may have decreased during shipping. If
you plan to store the drive, charge the battery before and after you store it.
