•  Protect the product from extreme temperatures, direct sunlight, strong 

jolts, high humidity, moisture, flammable gases, vapours and solvents.

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

operation and protect it from any accidental use. Safe operation can no 

longer be guaranteed if the product:

 - is visibly damaged,
 - is no longer working properly,
 - has been stored for extended periods in poor ambient conditions or
 - has been subjected to any serious transport-related stresses.

•  Please handle the product carefully. Jolts, impacts or a fall even from a 

low height can damage the product.

•  Also observe the safety and operating instructions of any other devices 

which are connected to the product.

•  If you are not going to use the product for a prolonged period of time, 

remove the mains socket from the plug and disconnect the USB cable 

from your computer.

•  Never move hard disk drives (HDD) when they are in use to avoid damage. 

Always wait for at least 30 seconds after turning the product off before 

moving it.

•  It is intended for indoor use only. Do not use it outdoors. Contact with 

moisture, e.g. in bathrooms, must be avoided under all circumstances.

•  Use the product only in temperate climates, not in tropical climates.
•  In schools, educational facilities, hobby and DIY workshops, the product 

is to be operated under the responsible supervision of qualified personnel.

•  Before connecting to the mains, make sure that your local AC mains 

voltage matches the specifications on the nameplate.

•  The power adapter is constructed with protection class II. Only a proper 

mains socket (230 V/AC, 50 Hz) of the public supply net must be used as 

voltage source.

•  Never pour any liquids over electrical devices or put objects filled with 

liquid right next to the device. If liquid or an object enters the interior of the 

device nevertheless, first power down the respective socket (e.g. switch 

off circuit breaker) and then pull the mains plug from the mains socket. 

Do not operate the product anymore afterwards, but take it to a specialist 

workshop. 

•  Never use the product immediately after it has been brought from a 

cold room into a warm one. The condensation generated could destroy 

the product. The plug-in power supply unit also involves danger to life 

by electric shock! Allow the product to reach room temperature before 

connecting it to the power supply and putting it to use. This may take 

several hours.

•  If the wall plug transformer is damaged, do not touch it; there is danger 

to life from electric shock! First, switch off the mains voltage to the mains 

socket to which the wall plug transformer is connected (switch off at the 

corresponding circuit breaker or remove the safety fuse, then switch off 

at the corresponding RCD protective switch, so that all poles of the mains 

socket are disconnected). You can then unplug the wall plug transformer 

from the mains socket. Dispose of the faulty wall plug transformer in an 

environmentally friendly way; do not use it any more. Replace it with a wall 

plug transformer of the same design.

•  The mains outlet must be located near to the device and be easily 

accessible.

•  As power supply, only use the supplied mains adaptor.
•  Only connect the power adaptor to a normal mains socket connected to 

the public supply. Before plugging in the power adaptor, check whether 

the voltage stated on the power adaptor complies with the voltage of your 

electricity supplier.

•  Never connect or disconnect power adaptors if your hands are wet.
•  Never unplug the power adaptor 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 adaptor from the mains socket 

during storms.

•  Consult an expert when in doubt about operation, safety or connection of 

the device.

•  Maintenance, modifications and repairs are to be performed exclusively 

by an expert or at a qualified shop.

•  If you have questions which remain unanswered by these operating
