7. Before Service Request

Read the following matters before making a request for service. Please contact the customer service center if
necessary.

1. Hard disk is unreadable.

- New HDD
Please make a new partition and do format, for detailed information refer to our company Web site.
(http://www.sarotech.com)

-Used HDD
If your HDD is formatted in NTFS, it does not show up My Computer in Windows 98 SE/ME.
If you want to use both Windows and Mac, please format in FAT32.

2. USB transfer speed is too low.

FHD-354 supports USB 2.0. If your PC has USB1.1, the speed is low, about 12Mbps. Please check if your PC supports
USB2.0.

3. The HDD capacity is different between manufacture and OS systems.

The apparent size difference is in the way that HD capacity is measured by the manufacturer and the OS. A 100
Billion bytes does not translate into 100GB. The manufacturer of the drive will use the 1000 bytes = 1KB measure
while the OS, any OS, will use the 1024 bytes = 1KB measure.
Both are correct. The HDD manufacture is referring to the unformatted size(1000 = 1K), the OS to the formatted
size.(1024 = 1K)

8. Check points before After Service

* Please replace and test your hard disk drive, if you have extra hard disk drive.
* You could have lack of power when you connect to USB port in front of PC. Please connect to USB port
at the back side.
* If the problem comes out intermittently, please connect to other PC or laptop and check it has same
problem.
* Please check your hard disk drive is formatted and created partitions.
* Please execute anti-virus program to prevent data loss or damage caused by virus infection.
