Quick Start Guide
Handling Precautions
Handle your drive with care! The following precautions
can help prevent loss of data or damage to your drive:
• Do not drop, jar or bump the QuickView Expander drive.
• Do not stack your QuickView Expander drive on top of
other component cooling vent holes or block airflow to
other components.
• Do not set the drive on its side without using the vertical stand.
• Do not remove any cables or power cords without properly
powering down the set top box, as instructed in your set top
box manual.
• Do not set any liquids or drinks on the drive. Liquids will
damage the internal electronics.
• Do not open the drive’s case.
• Do not place equipment in front of or behind your drive.
Doing this will restrict airflow that helps keep the drive cool.

Adding rubber feet to your QuickView
Expander Drive
If you plan to use your drive on a flat surface, your kit
includes four rubber feet to protect your drive and the
surface it is on.
To apply the feet:
1. Make sure your QuickView Expander drive is disconnected
properly from your DVR, and the drive is turned off.
2. The feet go on the bottom of your drive. Apply feet as
illustrated on bottom of your drive.
3. Return the drive to its upright position, so it rests on the
rubber feet.
