3.
Never allow any liquids to spill into any part of your external drive, and never
expose the external drive to rain, water seawater or moisture, in order to avoid any
risk of electric shock, fire or other damage to the unit. However, if any of these
eventualities should occur, unplug the AC adaptor (if any), shut off the external
drive immediately, and remove the battery pack, as the external drive may
otherwise sustain permanent damage.
Always contact an authorized Freecom service provider for assistance, before
attempting to use the external drive again.
4.
If the external drive has been dropped, or if you ever detect the emission of smoke,
unusual odour or excessive heat, always unplug the AC adaptor (if any) and shut
off the external drive immediately, as there is a risk that this will cause fire, possibly
resulting in death or serious physical injury.
Always contact an authorized Freecom service provider, for appropriate assistance.
5.
Never attempt to disassemble, adjust or repair the external drive, as exposure to
laser light or other safety hazards will result.
Always contact an authorized Freecom service provider, if any repair or adjustment
is required.
6.
Never open any covers except those that are expressly designed to be opened by
the user, in order to prevent the risk of fire possibly resulting in death or serious
physical injury, or the malfunction of the external drive.
7.
Today’s performance external drives generate heat under normal operating
conditions, as a function of system activity. Avoid extended contact between the
external drive base/palm rest and your bare skin. Under certain operating condi-
tions such prolonged contact between the external drive base/palm rest and your
bare skin will result in skin irritation.
