Health and Safety
Precautions
✦
Only qualified persons are authorized to
carry out maintenance on this device.
✦
Read this User Manual carefully and
follow the correct procedure when set-
ting up the device.
✦
Do not open a disk drive or attempt
to disassemble or modify it. Never in-
sert any metallic object into the drive
to avoid any risk of electrical shock,
fire, short-circuiting or dangerous emis-
sions. The disk drive shipped with your
LaCie d2 contains no user-serviceable
parts. If it appears to be malfunction-
ing, have it inspected by a qualified
LaCie Technical Support representative.
✦
Never expose your device to rain, or
use it near water, or in damp or wet
conditions. Never place objects con-
taining liquids on the LaCie d2, as they
may spill into its openings. Doing so
increases the risk of electrical shock,
short-circuiting, fire or personal injury.
General Use Precautions
✦
Power requirements 100-240 V~,
1.44 A, 50-60 Hz, (supply voltage fluc-
tuations not exceeding ± 10% of the
nominal and transient over-voltages
according to over-voltage category II).
✦
Do not expose the LaCie d2 to tem-
peratures outside the range of 5° C
to 35° C (41° F to 95° F); or to op-
erational humidity beyond 5-80%,
non-condensing, or non-operating
humidity beyond 10-90%, non-con-
densing. Doing so may damage the
LaCie d2 or disfigure its casing. Avoid
placing your LaCie d2 near a source
of heat or exposing it to sunlight (even
through a window). Inversely, placing
your LaCie d2 in an environment that
is too cold may damage the unit.
✦
Rated cooling for altitudes up to 2000
meters.
✦
Always unplug the LaCie d2 from the
electrical outlet if there is a risk of
lightning or if it will be unused for an
extended period of time. Otherwise,
there is an increased risk of electrical
shock, short-circuiting or fire.
✦
Use only the power supply shipped with
the device.
✦
Do not use the LaCie d2 near other
electrical appliances such as televisions,
radios or speakers. Doing so may cause
interference which will adversely affect
the operation of the other products.
✦
Do not place the LaCie d2 near sources
of magnetic interference, such as com-
puter displays, televisions or speakers.
✦
Magnetic interference can affect the op-
eration and stability of your LaCie d2.
✦
Never use excessive force on your
LaCie d2. If you detect a problem, con-
sult the Troubleshooting section in this
manual.
✦
Protect your LaCie d2 from excessive ex-
posure to dust during use or storage. Dust
can build up inside the device, increasing
the risk of damage or malfunction.
✦
Never use benzene, paint thinners,
detergent or other chemical products
to clean the outside of the LaCie d2.
Such products will disfigure and dis-
color the casing. Instead, use a soft,
dry cloth to wipe the device.
