Health & Safety 
Requirements
 
Only qualified persons are autho-
rized to carry out maintenance on 
this device.
 
Read this user manual carefully and 
follow the correct procedure when 
setting up the device.
 
Do not open your LaCie hard disk 
or attempt to disassemble or modify 
it. Never insert any metallic object 
into the drive to avoid any risk of 
electrical shock, fire, short-circuit-
ing or dangerous emissions. Your 
LaCie hard disk contains no user-
serviceable parts. If it appears to be 
malfunctioning, have it inspected 
by a qualified LaCie Technical Sup-
port 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 LaCie 
hard disk, as they may spill into its 
openings. Doing so increases the 
risk of electrical shock, short-circuit-
ing, fire or personal injury.
 
General use 
Precautions
 
Do not expose the LaCie hard disk 
to temperatures outside the range 
of 5° C to 35° C (41° F to 95° F); 
or to operational humidity beyond 
5-80%, non-condensing, or non-
operating humidity beyond 10-90%, 
non-condensing. Doing so may 
damage the LaCie hard disk or dis-
figure its casing. Avoid placing your 
LaCie hard disk near a source of 
heat or exposing it to sunlight (even 
through a window). Inversely, plac-
ing your LaCie hard disk in an en-
vironment that is too cold or humid 
may damage the unit. Because of 
heat issues, LaCie recommends that 
users do not stack drives.
 
Always unplug the LaCie hard disk 
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 in-
creased risk of electrical shock, 
short-circuiting or fire.
 
Use only the power supply shipped 
with the device.
 
Do not use the LaCie hard disk near 
other electrical appliances such as 
televisions or radios. Doing so may 
cause interference which will ad-
versely affect the operation of the 
other products.
 
Do not place the LaCie hard disk 
near sources of magnetic interfer-
ence, such as computer displays, 
televisions or speakers. Magnetic 
interference can affect the opera-
tion and stability of your LaCie hard 
disk.
 
Do not place heavy objects on top 
of the LaCie hard disk or use exces-
sive force on it.
 
Never use excessive force on your 
LaCie hard disk. If you detect a 
problem, see the Troubleshooting 
section in this manual.
CAUTION:
 A shielded-type power cord 
is required in order to meet FCC emission 
limits and also to prevent interference to 
the nearby radio and television reception. 
It is essential that only the supplied power 
cord be used.
