HDD/USB HDD handling care
• The HDD is a high precision device

instrument and is easily susceptible to damage.
Therefore, be careful of the following points
while the unit is turned on, especially during

shock.
- Do not remove the AC mains lead from the
household mains socket.

in the room.
In the above situation,
