FCC Statement:
Warning! Modifications not authorized by the manufacturer may void the user’s authority to operate this device.
NOTE: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to
Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a
residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and
used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is
no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference
with radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged
to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
• Connect the equipment to an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.
Health And Safety Precautions:
• Read this guide carefully and follow the correct procedures when setting up the device.
• Use proper anti-static precautions while performing the installation of your drives into this drive enclosure.
Failure to do so can cause damage to your drives and/or the enclosure.
• Do not attempt to disassemble or modify the device. To avoid any risk of electrical shock, fire, short-circuiting
or dangerous emissions, never insert any metallic object into the device. If it appears to be malfunctioning,
contact OWC technical support.
• Never expose your device to rain, or use it near water or in damp or wet conditions. Never place objects
containing liquids on the drive, as they may spill into its openings. Doing so increases the risk of electrical
shock, short-circuiting, fire or personal injury.
General Use Precautions:
• Do not place objects on top of the device.
• To avoid damage, do not expose the device to temperatures outside the range of 5°-40° C (41°-104° F).
• Always unplug the device 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.
• Do not use the device 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.
• Protect your device from excessive exposure to dust during use or storage. Dust can build up inside the
device, increasing the risk of damage or malfunction.
• Do not block any ventilation openings on the device. These help to keep the device cool during operation.
Blocking the ventilation openings may cause damage to the device and cause an increased risk of short-
circuiting or fire.
