♦ To start using your Clickfree Portable Backup Drive:
1. Make sure that your computer is switched on and has finished starting up.
2. Log in, if that is what you normally do.
3. Attach the Clickfree Portable Backup Drive to your computer by connecting one end of
the USB cable to the drive and the other end to a USB port on your computer.
A USB port usually looks like this: and frequently has a symbol beside it.
USB ports are usually found at the front of a desktop computer, often in pairs. On a
laptop computer they may be at the back, front or side.
Please try to connect to a USB port on the computer itself, using a USB hub may not
provide enough power.
4. Wait for the Clickfree window to appear. You may have to wait up to a full minute for
your computer to recognize the Clickfree Portable Backup Drive.
The first time you attach Clickfree to your computer, some messages appear on the
screen telling you that your computer has found new hardware. The messages may
mention ClickFree, Disk drive, and/or CD-ROM drive. You don’t need to do anything
about these messages. Most likely you will not see these messages when you attach
Clickfree the next time.
