4.  Using Media Buddy as a Portable Hard Drive 
When connected to your computer via USB cable, Media Buddy becomes a 
portable hard drive. 
You can use it just like the hard drive on your computer to manage and back up 
your important data.   
4.1.  Transferring Files between Media Buddy and Your Computer 
It is recommended that you always use the AC adapter when connecting Media 
Buddy to your computer.   
Note: Media Buddy can operate from its battery power when connected to your 
computer. However, there is a risk of running out of battery power during 
operation. This will cause Media Buddy to automatically shutdown. Automatic 
shutdown during data transfer may cause data loss either on Media Buddy or your 
computer hard drive. If you choose to connect Media Buddy to your computer 
without plugging in the AC adapter, it is safest if Media Buddy is fully charged.
 
1.  Connect Media Buddy to your computer as described in Section 2.8.1. 
Connecting Media Buddy to your computer
2.  Media Buddy will display an USB icon at the top of its screen to indicate that 
it is connected to your computer. 
3.  Now you can access the contents on Media Buddy, in the same way you use 
the hard drive on your computer to copy and transfer files. 
Note: When the device is connected to the computer through the USB cable, the 
buttons on the device will be disabled.   
Warning: While data is being transferred between the Media Buddy and your 
computer, DO NOT disconnect the USB cable, and DO NOT remove any memory 
card from its slot. Unplugging the device or removing memory cards while data is 
being transferred may crash your computer and Media Buddy and cause data loss.   
For instructions on properly disconnecting Media Buddy from your computer, 
reference Section 2.8.2. Safely removing Media Buddy from your computer.
