hard drive near a source of heat or exposing it to sunlight (even through a window). Inversely, placing your
LaCie hard drive in an environment that is too cold may damage the unit.
Rated cooling for altitudes up to 2000 meters.

If your drive features a power cable, always unplug it from the electrical outlet if there is a risk of lightning or if

it will be unused for an extended period of time. Otherwise, there is an increased risk of electrical shock,
short-circuiting or fire.
Use only the power supply shipped with the device (if applicable).

Do not use the LaCie hard drive near other electrical appliances such as televisions, radios or speakers. Doing

so may cause interference which will adversely affect the operation of the other products.
Do not place the LaCie hard drive near sources of magnetic interference, such as computer displays,

televisions or speakers. Magnetic interference can affect the operation and stability of your LaCie hard drive.
Never use excessive force on your LaCie hard drive. If you detect a problem, consult the troubleshooting

section in this manual.
Protect your LaCie hard drive from excessive exposure to dust during use or storage. Dust can build up inside

the device, increasing the risk of damage or malfunction.
Never use benzene, paint thinners, detergent or other chemical products to clean the outside of the LaCie

hard drive. Such products will disfigure and discolor the casing. Instead, use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the
device.
