The hard drive must not be subjected to drops of water or spray. Do not place any
containers filled with liquid (vases or similar objects) onto or close to the hard drive.
The container could tip over and liquid can impair electrical safety.
After transportation, wait until the equipment is at room temperature before turn-
ing it on. Damp can build up because of condensation and cause an electrical short
circuit if there is a large difference in temperature or humidity.
Keep your hard disk and all connected equipment away from damp and avoid dust,
heat and direct sunlight in order to prevent operational problems.
Place the hard disk on a stable and level surface that does not vibrate in order to
avoid damage caused by a fall.
Route the cable so that no one can step on it or stumble over it.
Do not place any objects or furniture on the cable to avoid damage to it.
The slits and openings in the hard disk are for air circulation. Do not cover these
openings, as this could lead to overheating.
The voltages and interfaces used in the equipment comply with the low voltage pro-
tection guidelines set out in EN60950. Connections to other equipment may only be
made using similar interfaces with low voltage protection in accordance with EN
60950.
Please use our Service Center if you have any technical problems with your hard disk.
Please use exclusively our authorized service partners if repairs are needed.
New devices may emit a typical, unavoidable but completely harmless smell in the
first hours of operation, which will decline increasingly in the course of time.
We recommend that you ventilate the room regularly, in order to counteract the
formation of this smell.
Make sure that it is located at least one meter away from sources of high frequency
and magnetic disturbance (TVs, speakers, mobile telephones, etc.) in order to avoid
operational problems and data loss.
