Precautionary measures
To ensure that your Verbatim portable Hard Drive functions properly, please take note
of the following precautions. If these are not followed, you may void your warranty and
damage the Verbatim portable Hard Drive.
•
Safely remove the Verbatim portable Hard Drive via your operating system (the
"unplug or eject hardware" option in the Windows taskbar) before disconnecting the
USB cable. Failing to do so may result in data loss.
•
Do not drop the Verbatim portable Hard Drive or expose it to other kinds of sudden
mechanical shocks as this may result in data loss and damage to the Verbatim portable
Hard Drive.
•
Do not use the Verbatim portable Hard Drive when the ambient temperature is below
10°C or above 35°C.
•
If the Verbatim portable Hard Drive is moved from a cool environment to a warmer
environment, please allow the drive to acclimatize to the ambient temperature before
operating the device. Failing to do so may lead to condensation within the drive
enclosure, which in turn may cause the drive to malfunction.
•
Do not place liquids or drinks on the Verbatim portable Hard Drive. When liquids are
spilled and get in contact with the electronics within the drive enclosure, it will damage
the drive and will cause the drive to malfunction.
•
Do not use the Verbatim portable Hard Drive in a dusty environment. Dust inside the
enclosure may damage the internal electronics and result in drive malfunction.
•
Opening the Verbatim portable Hard Drive will void the warranty.
•
Since USB 3.0 is backwards compatible with USB 2.0, the Verbatim portable Hard
Drive can be connected to all USB ports. When connected to a USB 2.0 port, however,
the performance (data transfer rate) of the Verbatim portable Hard Drive will be
much lower than when the drive is connected to a USB 3.0 port.
If at any point during installing and/or configuring your Verbatim portable Hard Drive
you need assistance or have questions, please contact the Verbatim Support Center
for your country. See www.verbatim-europe.com/support for details.
