Operating Instructions

Transferring Files

1. Open the Drive: Double-click the drive icon on your computer to open its contents.
2. Copy Files: Drag and drop files or folders from your computer to the JumpDrive S75, or vice versa. Alternatively, use the copy and paste functions.

Safe Removal

To prevent data corruption, always safely eject the flash drive before physically removing it from your computer.

• Windows: Click the 'Safely Remove Hardware and Eject Media' icon in the system tray, then select the Lexar JumpDrive S75. Wait for the 'Safe to Remove Hardware' message before unplugging.
• Mac: Drag the drive icon to the Trash, or right-click (Control-click) the drive icon and select 'Eject'. Wait for the icon to disappear before unplugging.

Maintenance

• Protect the Connector: Always retract the USB connector into the drive casing when not in use to prevent damage to the connector pins.
• Handle with Care: Avoid dropping the drive or subjecting it to excessive force, as this can cause internal damage.
• Keep Dry: Protect the drive from moisture and extreme temperatures.
• Regular Backups: While flash drives are reliable, it is good practice to back up important data to multiple locations to prevent data loss.

Troubleshooting

Drive Not Detected

• Ensure the drive is fully inserted into the USB port.
• Try a different USB port on your computer.
• Test the drive on another computer to determine if the issue is with the drive or the computer's USB port.
• Restart your computer.

Slow Transfer Speeds

• Verify that you are connected to a USB 3.0 or USB 3.1 port. USB 2.0 ports will operate at significantly lower speeds.
• Transferring many small files can be slower than transferring a single large file of the same total size.
• Ensure your computer's drivers are up to date.

Data Corruption or Inaccessible Files

• Always safely eject the drive before removal. Unexpected removal can lead to data corruption.
• If files become inaccessible, you may consider using data recovery software (third-party) or reformatting the drive if data is not critical. Reformatting will erase all data.

Reported Capacity Discrepancy

• The actual usable storage capacity may be less than the stated capacity due to formatting, operating system files, and other functions. This is normal for all storage devices.
