Please read the Tuff manual thoroughly and familiarize yourself with the product before use.
Only use the Tuff in an area with sufficient ventilation. Make sure that the fan is not
obstructed to ensure proper air flow, which is essential for heat dissipation. Do not leave or
use the Tuff near a heat source or direct sunlight.
Avoid using the Tuff in extremely hot or cold environments as it will increase the likelihood
of premature drive failure. The safe operating temperature ranges from 40F - 95F (4.4C-35C).
Avoid using the Tuff in humid environments. Moisture and condensation can accumulate in
the drive and damage the electrical components, resulting in unit failure and catastrophic
data loss.
Make sure to transport your Tuff with care. Hard drives are sensitive to shock and rough
handling, and can result in degrading performance or disk failure.
Keep the Tuff away from liquids and moisture. Exposure to liquids on the Tuff can result in
damaging the unit, electric shock, and result in a fire hazard. If your Tuff gets wet while it is
still off, do not turn it on.
In the case of any issues with the device, do not attempt to repair or open the Tuff yourself.
Doing so can result in personal injury, damaging the device, and will void the warranty. If you
have any issues, please contact CalDigit technical support.
All electrical devices are susceptible to failure. In order to protect yourself against sudden
data loss, it is highly recommended that you create at least two backups of your data. If you
will be sending a drive back to CalDigit for service, please make sure you have backed up
your data beforehand. CalDigit cannot guarantee the integrity of data on drives that are
returned to us. CalDigit cannot make provisions for data recovery or be held liable for any
data loss.
