Western Digital Elements 500 GB USB 3/2

Hello I am a New Member and I am looking for a User Book/Manual for the above subject. I have tried for about 1 hour on the WD site and I can’t find anything. I must be looking in the wrong Place. My new drive arrived when I was ill and a friend asked if he should unpack it. I said yes but did not tell him to keep any packaging that it came in. So I have no instructions at all. Also I Plugged the USB lead which has a blue plug in to the USB 3 socket but nothing happened. I don’t know if I need any extra software so would be very grateful for any help. Thank you.

The drive will show up on computer when it’s connected

there’s no manual for this drive, only a quick install guide

connect the drive to the power > USB to computer > go to computer and the drive will be listed as elements

use a different font next time

Thank you for your help and advice re the Font used. Apologies for bad etiquette.

Power connected … USB connected; however, the Element is not being recognized. At initial connection the white light on the unit blinks rather than going solid. It was recognized initially and I transferred  much data. ??
