4. Operating Instructions

4.1. Data Transfer

• From Device to Flash Drive:
  • iOS: Use the "iExtend+" app to select files (photos, videos, documents) from your device and transfer them to the flash drive.
  • Android/PC/Mac: Use the native file manager to copy or move files to the flash drive.
• From Flash Drive to Device:
  • iOS: Use the "iExtend+" app to select files from the flash drive and transfer them to your device's local storage.
  • Android/PC/Mac: Use the native file manager to copy or move files from the flash drive to your device.
• Important Note: When transferring data, it is recommended to copy files rather than cut them until you have verified that all data has been securely transferred to the destination. This prevents potential data loss in case of interruption.

4.2. One-Click Backup (iOS Only)

The "iExtend+" app for iOS devices offers a one-click backup function. Within the app, locate the backup option to quickly save all selected data from your iPhone/iPad to the flash drive.

4.3. Direct Recording and Sharing (iOS Only)

The "iExtend+" app allows you to directly capture photos and videos, storing them onto the flash drive without occupying your device's internal storage. You can also share content directly from the app to various social media platforms like Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, and WhatsApp.

This ensures your privacy is maintained even if the flash drive is lost.

• Connector Protection: When not in use, ensure the connectors are protected from damage. The 360-degree rotating design helps shield the connectors.
• Safe Removal: Always safely eject the flash drive from your computer or device before physically disconnecting it to prevent data corruption.
• Data Integrity: Regularly back up important data stored on the flash drive to another reliable storage medium.

6. Troubleshooting

6.1. Drive Not Detected

• Check Connection: Ensure the flash drive is fully and correctly inserted into the device's port.
• Try Another Port/Device: Test the flash drive on a different USB port or another compatible device to rule out port or device issues.
• Restart Device: Sometimes, restarting your phone, tablet, or computer can resolve detection issues.
• iOS App: For iOS devices, ensure the "iExtend+" app is installed and open.
• Android OTG: For Android devices, confirm that your device supports OTG and that OTG functionality is enabled in settings if required.

6.2. Slow Transfer Speeds

• USB 3.0 Port: Ensure you are using a USB 3.0 port on your computer for optimal speeds. Connecting to a USB 2.0 port will result in slower transfer rates.
• File Size/Type: Transferring many small files can be slower than transferring a few large files of the same total size.
• Device Performance: The speed of your host device (phone, tablet, computer) can also affect transfer rates.

6.3. Data Corruption or Loss

• Safe Ejection: Always safely eject the drive before removal. Unexpected disconnection can lead to data corruption.
• Copy vs. Cut: As advised in Section 4.1, use the "copy" function instead of "cut" during transfers to minimize risk.
• Regular Backups: Maintain regular backups of critical data to prevent permanent loss.

6.4. App Issues (iOS)

• Update App: Ensure your "iExtend+" app is updated to the latest version.
• Reinstall App: If issues persist, try uninstalling and reinstalling the app.
