Other Safety Precautions

CAUTION

Handle the machine with care to prevent loss of data from the storage

device (HDD, SSD, eMMC).

Since the storage device is fragile, you need to back up your important data
frequently.

The manufacturer is not responsible for any storage device data loss caused by
a user's mistake.

Damage to the storage device (HDD, SSD, eMMC) and data loss may occur

when:

External shocks are inflicted on the machine while disassembling or installing it.

The machine is reset (i.e. restarted) or turned on again after a power outage
while the storage device is operating.

The PC is infected with a virus, tainting the data irrecoverably.

Abrupt turning-off of the PC can damage the PC.

If the product is moved, shaken or exposed to external shock while the storage
device is running, file damage or bad sectors may occur.

To minimize data loss resulting from storage device damage (HDD, SSD,

eMMC), frequently back up important data.

The manufacturer is not responsible for any data loss.

We do not refund or replace a product that malfunctions due to the
installation or use of an operating system other than the one provided by LG

Electronics Inc.

Some software applications may not work properly in other operating systems.
Such malfunctions are not covered by the warranty.
