• If it is no longer possible to operate the product safely, stop using it and
prevent unauthorized use. Safe operation can no longer be guaranteed
if the product:
-is visibly damaged,
-is no longer working properly,
-has been stored for extended periods in poor ambient conditions or

• Always handle the product carefully. Jolts, impacts or a fall even from a
low height may damage the product.
• Always observe the safety and operating instructions of any other
devices which are connected to the product.
• Never move the product with an installed hard disk drive when the latter
is in operation. Doing so may make the read/write heads on the hard disk
drive touch the magnetic disk. This may lead to data loss and damage
the hard disk drive. Turn the product off and wait at least 30 seconds
(until the magnetic disks in the hard disk drive have stopped rotating)
before you move the product.
• Do not place the product in the proximity of speakers or machines that
radiate a strong magnetic field.

• When setting up the product, make sure that the cable is not pinched,
kinked or damaged by sharp edges.
• Never use the product immediately after it has been brought from a cold
room into a warm one. The condensation generated could destroy the
product. Allow the product to reach room temperature before connecting
it and putting it to use. This may take several hours.

scratches and dents.
• Consult a technician if you are not sure how to use or connect the product.
