• Do not place the product under any mechanical stress.
• If it is no longer possible to operate the product safely, take it out of

low height can damage the product.
• Also observe the safety and operating instructions of any other devices
which are connected to the product.
• Never move the product during operation with the hard drive installed.
Movement during operation could cause the disk read/write heads to
come into contact with the magnetic disc. This may result not only in data
loss but damage to the hard drive! Switch off the product and wait for at
least 30 seconds (until the magnetic discs of the hard drive have come to
a complete stop) before moving the product again.
• Do not place the product near loudspeakers or machines that emit a
strong magnetic field.
• Touch only the sides of your hard drive’s housing, do not touch the circuit
board. Electrostatic discharges may destroy your hard drive.
• The mains outlet must be located near to the device and be easily
accessible.
• As power supply, only use the supplied mains adapter.
• Only connect the power adapter to a normal mains socket connected to
the public supply. Before plugging in the power adapter, check whether
the voltage stated on the power adapter complies with the voltage of your
electricity supplier.
• Never connect or disconnect power adapters if your hands are wet.
• Never unplug the power adapter from the mains socket by pulling on the
cable; always use the grips on the plug.
• When setting up the product, make sure that the cable is not pinched,
kinked or damaged by sharp edges.
• Always lay the cables so that nobody can trip over or become entangled
in them. This poses a risk of injury.
• For safety reasons, disconnect the power adapter from the mains socket
during storms.
• Never use the product immediately after it has been brought from a
cold room into a warm one. The condensation generated could destroy
