Precautions!
Failure to follow the precautions below may result in damage to the device, loss
of data, and voiding of the warranty.
• If using your AZiO product as a general-purpose storage device (as
opposed to a backup device) AZiO strongly recommends that you backup
the files stored on the device. AZiO will not be responsible for loss of data
or corruption; nor will AZiO perform recovery of lost data or files.
• Do not attempt to disassemble or modify the internal components. If the
device is malfunctioning, contact AZiO Technical Support via the Support
page at www.aziocorp.com/support.php or call (909) 468-1198 (Pacific
Time) during regular business hours.
• Do not expose the device to rain or use it in damp or wet conditions.
• Never place containers of liquids on the device. This can damage the
device and increase the risk of electric shock, short-circuiting, fire, or
personal injury.
• Do not use the device in temperatures outside the range of 40° F - 130°
F.
• Do not use a third party AC adapter or power cord.
• Do not bump, jar or drop the device.
• Do not disconnect any cables while the device is powered on without first
un-mounting the device.
