Operating Instructions
1. Connecting to a Computer

- Wait a moment for the system to recognize the device. A USB hard disk icon should appear in "My Computer" (Windows) or on your desktop (Mac).
2. Disconnecting from a Computer
To prevent data loss or corruption, always safely remove the hard disk before disconnecting.
- Windows 98 SE: Disconnect the USB hard disk when the red indicator light stops flashing.
- Windows 2000/XP and newer: Click the "Safely Remove Hardware" icon in the system tray (usually in the bottom-right corner of your screen). Select the USB hard disk from the pop-up menu and click to safely remove it. Wait for a confirmation message stating "Hardware safely removable" before physically disconnecting the USB hard disk.
Maintenance
The UTHAI G06 enclosure is made from high-hardness PC material, offering durability and a transparent design. To ensure its longevity and optimal performance:
- Keep the enclosure clean by wiping it with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents.
- Store the enclosure in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
- Avoid dropping or subjecting the enclosure to strong impacts, as this can damage the internal components or the hard drive.
Troubleshooting
Insufficient Power Supply
If the USB port on your computer does not provide sufficient power to the hard disk enclosure, you may experience issues such as the drive not being recognized or intermittent disconnections.
- Solution: Connect the enclosure to a USB port that provides adequate power, such as a rear USB port on a desktop computer or a powered USB hub.
- Caution: Never use an AC adapter to supply power to the USB hard disk box unless specifically instructed by the manufacturer, as this may damage the equipment. The UTHAI G06 is designed to be powered directly via the USB cable.
