3. Mac Operation
At present only Mac OS X supports USB 2.0. Mac OS 9 only supports USB 1.1. Without the right
hardware and software driver, you will not be able to use the Kanguru Flash Blu3 at its fullest speed.
Currently Mac does not offer any support for USB 3.0 so Mac users will not be able to take full advantage
of USB 3.0 transfer rates.
Using the Kanguru Flash Blu3 with Mac
To begin using the Kanguru Flash Blu3 for the first time:
1. Start up the computer.
2. Plug the Kanguru Flash Blu3 into a USB 2.0 Hi-Speed port.
3. The Flash Blu 3 removable drive icon will appear on the desktop.
Congratulations! Your Kanguru Flash Blu 3 is ready to use. You can now begin transferring files to and
from your portable flash drive.
Removing the Kanguru Flash Blu3
Before attempting to remove the Flash Blu3 from your computer, make sure that no data is being
transferred to or from the device and that no programs are accessing data on the device. The easiest way
to determine that no data is being transferred to or from the device is to check that the LED indicator on
the end of the Flash Blu3 is not blinking.
Be sure to follow these safe removal procedures. Failure to do so may result in data corruption. To
remove the Flash Blu3, click and drag the Flash Blu 3 icon on the desktop into the trashcan icon to eject
it. When the Flash Blu3 icon disappears from the desktop then you can safely disconnect the drive from
your computer.
