Basic Use
Memory Card Insertion & Removal
Before using AirStash, insert a memory card into the card slot of your AirStash (opposite the USB connector). The card can only be inserted in one orientation. Do not attempt to force a card into the slot. To properly insert a card, hold the AirStash so that the power button is facing upwards. Ensure that the notched corner of the card is to the right and will be inserted into the AirStash first. Insert the card into AirStash. Press the card fully into the slot until you feel a click that indicates the card is fully inserted. When the card is fully inserted, only a very small part of the card should be extending out from the AirStash to aid in removal. To remove the card, press in on the exposed portion of the card with the flat of your thumb or finger. Press far enough until you feel a click as the catch releases. When you release your finger, the card will be ejected by the spring within the slot.

Battery Charging
AirStashs internal battery is charged through the USB Plug. To charge, plug AirStash directly into your computer, a USB wall adapter, or a separately powered USB hub:

Charging While Connected to a Computer When AirStash is connected to a computer whether directly or through a powered USB 2.0 hub connected to a computer, AirStash will charge and can be simultaneously accessed as a USB drive (see Computer USB Access). Note that the AirStash wireless connection will turn off when AirStash connects to a computer. If you are using a USB hub, verify that the hub has a separate source of power before connecting the AirStash and that the hub is connected to a USB port on your computer. If using a USB extension cable, verify that it is USB 2.0 compliant and less than 3 meters (9 feet) in length. Charging While Connected to a USB-AC Adapter When AirStash is connected to a compliant USB-AC Adapter, AirStash can simultaneously allow wireless access while charging. To use your AirStash via wireless while it is charging, turn on the AirStash before connecting it to a stand-alone power adapter. This is useful if you are accessing AirStash wirelessly and need to charge without interrupting your connection. Use only power adapters that are USB 2.0 compliant to ensure they can supply a full 500mA to the AirStash. Charging Procedure When your AirStash is charging, the Status Indicator will slowly pulse yellow until charging is complete. When charging is complete the Status Indicator will turn off. After connecting AirStash to a computer, hub, or power adapter, please wait at least 15 seconds for charging to begin. If your AirStash is already fully charged, it may not indicate that it is charging. If charging does not begin within 15 seconds, check the port to verify that it meets the power requirements of the AirStash. If you are using a USB hub to charge the AirStash, verify that the hub has an independent source of power connected and that the hub is
Version 1.1 (11/11) 9

AirStash Model A02 User Manual

connected to your computer by a USB cable. If there are many devices connected to the hub, you may need to remove other devices until there is enough power available to charge the AirStash. AirStash should take about 2 hours to fully charge. However, charging could take much longer if the power source supplies less than 500mA or AirStashs internal battery protection system temporarily turns off charging due to very hot or very cold temperatures. AirStash may not charge if it is very hot or very cold due to an internal safety mechanism; always allow your AirStash to return to room temperature before charging it.

Computer USB Access

To transfer files to and from the memory card inserted into an AirStash, plug AirStash into the USB port of a computer. If you are using a USB hub, verify that the hub has a separate source of power before connecting the AirStash and that the hub is connected to a USB port on your computer. If using a USB extension cable, verify that it is USB 2.0 compliant and less than 3 meters (9 feet) in length. After connecting AirStash to your computer, a drive should appear on your desktop (Mac OS X) or become accessible in My Computer (Windows). If you are unable to access your AirStash via USB, verify that a properly formatted memory card is inserted into the AirStash and that it is connected either directly to your computer or into a separately powered USB hub. Once a memory card is properly inserted in the AirStash and the AirStash is properly connected to your computer, files may be transferred by dragging and dropping the files between the computer and AirStash drive that appears on the computer display. When you are finished transferring files to and from the memory card, always right click on the drive and choose Eject from the menu before removing it from your computer. On a Mac, you can also drag the drive from your desktop to the
Version 1.1 (11/11) 10

Trash or click the Eject arrow next to the drive in the source list on the left side of any Finder window. Wait for the drive to disappear from the desktop, Finder window or My Computer before unplugging it. If AirStash is connected to a computer while wireless connectivity is turned on, the wireless connection will be turned off.

Turning Wireless On and Off

AirStash has a built-in wireless access point that allows a compatible client device, such as an tablet or smartphone, to directly connect to AirStash without requiring a wireless router or additional access point. AirStash uses the WiFi wireless standard for wireless connectivity. Before turning on the wireless connection on your AirStash, ensure that the AirStash is not connected to a computer, power adapter, or other USB device. To turn on the wireless connection on the AirStash, depress and hold the power button for 2 to 3 seconds until the Status Indicator on the AirStash illuminates green. Then, release the button. The Status Indicator will blink green three times to indicate that the wireless connection is turned on. While wireless connectivity is on, the Status Indicator will blink green every few seconds. Before turning off the wireless connection on AirStash, ensure that the AirStash is not connected to a USB power adapter. Hold the Power Button until the Status Indicator blinks green rapidly three times (after 3-4 seconds), then release the button. The Status Indicator will no longer blink green periodically. Do not remove the memory card from your AirStash while the wireless connection is enabled and files are being accessed. Doing so will interrupt access to your files and may cause AirStash to turn off the wireless connection. If you change memory cards while wireless access is enabled, you may need to select Refresh to see an updated list of files.

Care
Use care when handling AirStash. The following suggestions are provided to help maintain your warranty coverage: Do not store AirStash in extreme temperatures. High temperatures can shorten the life of the device such as damaging the battery or cause warping or melting of the plastic enclosure. Cold temperatures can also shorten the life of the device by damaging the battery, causing the plastic enclosure to crack, or cause moisture to condense on or inside the device, which may damage the internal electronics. Keep AirStash dry. Water or other liquids can damage the device. In addition, high humidity can also cause condensation to form on AirStash. If AirStash gets wet, turn AirStash off, place it in a low humidity environment and allow it to completely dry. Do not store AirStash in dusty or dirty areas because mechanical parts may be damaged or cease to work. Do not attempt to open or modify AirStash. It contains no serviceable parts inside.
