INTRODUCTION
Thank you for your purchase of the Pockey® USB 2.0

storage solutions. The pocket-sized Pockey® is the most
exciting portable storage solution available today! The
Pockey® offers massive storage capacity, the fastest
transfer rates, and ultra-portability. The Pockey® is
available in 20GB, 30GB, or 40GB capacities, and you
can stack them to create an almost limitless library of
files. Transferring large amounts of data is a snap with
the USB 2.0 interface which offers transfer rates up to
480 Mbps –that’s 40 times faster than USB 1.1 speed!*
Best of all, the ultra-portable Pockey® does not require
any additional power source (such as batteries or AC
adapter) because all necessary power is drawn through
the USB cable. You can take it ANYWHERE!
The Pockey® is compatible with laptops and desktops,
PC or Mac, so cross-platform file sharing is a breeze.
Plug-N-Play, hot-swappable, and hot-pluggable features
make the Pockey® convenient and easy to use. With
DOS level support, the Pockey® is a powerful tool for
even the most demanding IT manager. The Pockey® --

CARE AND HANDLING
•Please keep the Pockey in the protective
carrying case at all times, even during use, so
as to minimize damage. Always handle your
Pockey carefully.
•Do not move or disconnect the Pockey from your
computer while the Pockey is reading or writing
data. This may cause loss of data or damage to
the hard drive.
•Before unplugging the Pockey or turning off your
computer, click the “stop storage device” icon on
the task bar (or for the Mac, drag the Pockey
into the trash can), then turn the Pockey power
switch to the “OFF”position. Failure to do so
may cause loss of data.
•No formatting is necessary. The Pockey is
already formatted.
•Do not open the outer case. Opening the case
may damage the Pockey, it’s components, or
the hard drive and will VOID THE WARRANTY.
•Avoid exposing the Pockey to extreme
temperatures or humidity. Either may cause
damage to the hard drive.

HARDWARE INSTALLATION
1. The Pockey and the USB connection cable are
included in the package. Take the USB cable
and connect the cable to the USB port located
on your computer.
Note: Do not plug the cable into the USB port
located on thekeyboard or the monitor as those
ports do not supply sufficient power. Also, if you
are connecting the Pockey to a USB hub, it must
be a POWERED hub in order for the Pockey to
work properly].
2. Next, connect the other end of the USB cable to
the mini-USB port of the Pockey.
3. Turn the Pockey power switch to the “USB”
position.
THE HARDWARE INSTALLATION IS
COMPLETE
NOTE: Using the Supplemental Power Cord (SPC)
The USB ports of some computers as well as USB ports
of some PCMCIA Cardbus do not supply enough power
to run the Pockey. If your Pockey is not working properly
because the USB port is not providing sufficient power,
you must use BOTH the USB connection cable and the
8
SPC. Follow steps 1 and 2 above and follow steps A
through D below.
A. The SPC has an AC plug on one end and a
PS/2 and a USB connector on the other end.
B. Plug the AC plug of the SPC into the DC
jack of the Pockey.
C. Plug the USB connector of the SPC into the
USB port of your computer. If a USB port is
not available, plug the PS/2 connector of the
SPC into the PS/2 port of your computer. In
rare instances, you may need to plug in both
the USB and PS/2 connectors into your
computer.
D. Turn the Pockey power switch to the
external power (“EXT”) position.
REMEMBER: If you are using the SPC, you
must also use the USB connection cable.
NOTE: Using the SPC with USB 2.0 PCMCIA Cardbus
Due to power supply issues, some USB 2.0 PCMCIA
Cardbus offer faster transfer rates than others. When
using the Pocketec Cardbus, you must use the SPC.
You will achieve the fastest rates if you plug in both
connectors of the SPC (the PS/2 and USB). If you can
only plug in one of the SPC connectors, the USB
connector is preferable, as that will provide faster
transfers than the PS/2 connector.
