SAFETY INFORMATION

This Home Content Sharing

TM

 (HCS) server, often known as Network 

Attached Storage (NAS), has been manufactured and tested with your 
safety in mind. However, improper use can result in potential electric 
shock or fire hazards. To avoid defeating the safeguards that have been 
built into the NAS, please observe the precautions discussed in this 
document.

Warnings

To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not remove the cover of the NAS. 
There are no user-serviceable parts inside it.

Do not perform any servicing unless you are qualified to do so. Refer all 
servicing to qualified service personnel. Servicing the NAS yourself will 
invalidate the warranty.

To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not expose this NAS to rain 
or moisture.

On the rear panel of the NAS there is a tamper-evident label that states 
‘Warranty void if broken or removed’.

To avoid possible damage to the internal hard disk, do not pick up or move 
the NAS while it is powered up. If you want to move the NAS, first stop any 
recording, then turn off the NAS and wait 60 seconds before disconnecting 
it from its power supply unit. You should handle the NAS carefully, as any 
damage you cause to the internal hard disk (or any other component) will 
invalidate the warranty.

Installation

The installation of the NAS should be carried out by a qualified installer 
and should conform to local codes.

Note to the installer

This reminder is provided to call the attention of the cable-TV-system 
installer to Section 820 of the National Electrical Code (USA), which 
provides guidelines for proper grounding and, in particular, specifies 
that the cable ground shall be connected to the grounding system of the 
building, as close to the point of cable entry as is practical.
