SAFETY INFORMATION (cont.)

In addition to the Important Safety Instructions, please read the Safety 
Information below.

Power sources

The model number, serial number, and electrical rating of this NAS are on 
a label on its base.

You must operate the NAS only from the type of power source indicated 
on the marking label. If you are not sure of the type of power supply to 
your home, consult your dealer or local power company. If you move the 
NAS between locations at different temperatures, allow it to reach room 
temperature before you apply power to it.

Overloading

Do not overload wall AC outlets, extension cords or other power outlets as 
this can result in a risk of fire or electric shock.

Lightning

For added protection for the NAS during a lightning storm, or when it 
is left unattended and unused for long periods of time, disconnect the 
cable system from the NAS. See also item 13 in the Important Safety 
Instructions.

Ambient temperature

The operating temperature range of the NAS is 32-104°F. If the ambient 
temperature around the NAS falls outside this range, you must correct 
this in order for the NAS to work correctly and safely. For example, if the 
temperature is too high, make sure there is sufficient ventilation (see below) 
and that the NAS is not directly on top of or underneath other equipment.

Ventilation

Slots and openings in the casing of the NAS are provided for ventilation, to 
ensure reliable operation of the NAS and to protect it from overheating.

•  Never block the ventilation openings by placing the NAS on a bed, sofa, 

rug, or other similar surface. Place it on a hard, flat surface.

•  Never cover the ventilation openings with items such as newspapers, 

table-cloths, or curtains.

•  You can place the NAS near other consumer electronics devices, such as 

stereo amplifiers or televisions, but you must not place it directly on top 
or underneath them.

•  Do not place the NAS in a 

built-in installation such as 
a bookcase or rack unless 
proper ventilation is provided 
and you have adhered to the 
manufacturer’s instructions.

• 

Maintain a minimum 
distance of three inches 
around the NAS and client 
set-tops for sufficient 
ventilation.

Safety Instructions.

Water and moisture

Do not expose the NAS to rain or moisture, dripping or splashing, and 
ensure that no objects filled with liquids, such as vases, are placed on the 
NAS. See also item 5 in the Important Safety Instructions.

Entry of objects and liquids

Never push objects of any kind into the NAS through openings as they 
may touch dangerous voltage points or short-out parts that could result in 
fire or electric shock. Never spill liquid of any kind on the NAS.

Transporting

Move the combination of NAS and cart with care. Quick stops, excessive 
force and uneven surfaces may cause the combination of NAS and cart to 
overturn. See also item 12 in the Important Safety Instructions.

Placement and mounting

Do not place the NAS on an unstable or uneven surface. The NAS may 
fall, causing serious injury to a child or adult and serious damage to the 
NAS. If you mount the NAS, for example to a wall or ceiling, follow the 
manufacturer’s instructions and use a mounting accessory recommended 
by the manufacturer. See also item 12 in the Important Safety Instructions.

Risk of fire or scorching

Never place naked flame sources, such as lighted candles, on or adjacent 
to the NAS.

Replacement parts

When replacement parts are required, be sure that the service technician 
has used replacement parts specified by the manufacturer or that have 
the same characteristics as the original part. Unauthorized substitutions 
may result in fire, electric shock or other hazards. See also item 14 in the 
Important Safety Instructions.

Safety check

Upon completion of any servicing or repairs to the NAS, ask the service 
technician to perform safety checks to determine that the NAS is in its 
proper operating condition. See also item 14 in the Important Safety 
Instructions.
