1) Startup

Your DataStation has a modern power-saving feature (Auto-Off-Technology) that invokes a standby mode when the DataStation is not in use. The Auto-Off-Technology is activated automatically when your DataStation is recognized by a computer. If you disconnect your DataStation from the power supply (e.g. via a switchable multi-outlet power strip), the Auto-Off-Technology is deactivated. It is reactivated the next time your DataStation is recognized by a computer.

The capacity indicated by your operating system can be different than the actual capacity of your external hard drive. Like most manufacturers of computer hardware, TrekStor uses the prefixes for units (e.g. 1GB = 1.000.000.000 bytes) as prescribed by the International System of Units (SI). Unfortunately, many operating systems do not comply with this norm and display a lower capacity because they base their calculations on the assumption that 1GB = 2^30 bytes = 1.073.741.824 bytes.

The manufacturer retains the right to continually improve the product. These changes may be made without being directly described in these operating instructions. For this reason, the information provided in these operating instructions may not reflect the current state of the art.

The manufacturer only guarantees suitability for the product's intended purpose. In addition, the manufacturer is not responsible for damages or loss of data and subsequent consequences.
