•  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,
