FCC Statement:

Warning! Modifications not authorized by the manufacturer may void the user’s authority to operate this device.

NOTE: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC 

Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in 

a commercial environment. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in 

accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference with radio communications. Operation of this equipment in 

a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference, in which case the user will be required to correct the interference at his own 

expense.

NOTE: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC 

Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equip-

ment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may 

cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular 

installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference with radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning 

the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures: 

• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.

• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.

• Connect the equipment to an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.

Health And Safety Precautions:

• Use proper anti-static precautions while performing the installation of your hard drives into this drive enclosure. Failure to do so can 

cause damage to your drive mechanisms, and / or the hard drive enclosure.

• Read this User’s Guide carefully, and follow the correct procedure when setting up the device.

• Do not open your hard drive or attempt to disassemble or modify it. Never insert any metallic object into the drive to avoid any risk 

of electrical shock, fire, short-circuiting or dangerous emissions. Your hard drive contains no user-serviceable parts. If it appears to be 

malfunctioning, have it inspected by a qualified Other World Computing Technical Support representative.

• Never expose your device to rain, or use it near water, or in damp or wet conditions. Never place objects containing liquids on the 

drive, as they may spill into its openings. Doing so increases the risk of electrical shock, short-circuiting, fire or personal injury.

General Use Precautions:

• Do not expose the enclosure to temperatures outside the range of 5° C to 40° C (41° F to 104° F). Doing so may damage the drive 

or disfigure its casing. Avoid placing your drive near a source of heat or exposing it to sunlight (even through a window). Conversely, 

placing your drive in an environment that is too cold or humid may damage the unit.

• Always unplug the hard drive 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.

• Do not use the 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 drive near sources of magnetic interference, such as computer displays, televisions or speakers. Magnetic interfer-

ence can affect the operation and stability of your hard drive.

• Do not place heavy objects on top of the drive.

• If you detect a problem, consult the Troubleshooting section in this manual.

• Protect your 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.

• Other World Computing recommends the use of normal glass cleaning products to keep the high lustre finish at its finest with this 

product. Be sure not to get any moisture inside the holes and if you do, allow time to air dry before use.

 • Do not block the ventilation outlets on the rear of the drive. These help to keep your drive cool during operation. Blocking the 

ventilation outlets may cause damage to your drive and cause an increased risk of short-circuiting or fire.
