Notes:
(1) You can connect this device to a USB 1.1 port; however, it will operate at USB 1.1 speeds (up to 12 Mbps).

(2) The Windows PC must meet the minimum system requirements. Using Thunderbird and Skype requires an Internet connection. Nomad Mobile Desktop is not available for the Mac OS. PushButton Backup and Sync utilize the included Redemption backup software. When used on a Windows PC, Redemption runs directly from the Drive as part of the Nomad Mobile Desktop.

(3) For the Mac, Redemption is supplied as stand-alone software that must be installed on the computer.

(4) A few systems limit bus power and may require two USB ports for bus-powered operation. The supplied USB cable has an extra USB connector that can be used, if needed. The Drive can also be powered via an AC outlet. (AC adapter sold separately.)
