prevent the loss of your data, LaCie highly recommends that you keep TWO copies of your data; one copy on your external hard drive, for instance, and a second copy either on your internal hard drive, another external hard drive or some other form of removable storage media, such as CD, DVD or Tape. LaCie offers a complete line of CD, DVD and Tape drives, and if you would like more information on backup, please refer to the LaCie white paper on backup methods and technology.
Any loss, corruption or destruction of data while using a LaCie drive is the sole responsibility of the
Health And Safety Precautions:
Only qualified persons are authorized to carry out maintenance on this device.
• Read this User's Manual carefully, and follow the correct procedure when setting up the device.
• Do not open your hard drive or attempt to disassemble or modify it. Never insert any metallic object into the drive to avoid any risk of electrical shock, fire, short-circuiting or dangerous emissions. Your hard drive contains no user-serviceable parts. If it appears to be malfunctioning, have it inspected by a qualified LaCie Technical Support 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 drive, as they may spill into its openings. Doing so increases the risk of electrical shock, short-circuiting, fire or personal injury.
General Use Precautions:
• Do not expose the hard drive to temperatures outside the range of 5° C to 35° C (41° F to 95° F) during operation, or 0° C to 55° C (32° F to 131° F) during storage. Do not expose the hard drive to humidity outside the range of 10% to 90%, non-condensing during operation or storage. Doing so may damage the drive or disfigure its casing. Avoid placing your drive near a source of heat (such as on top of a TV or DVD player) or exposing it to sunlight (even through a window). Inversely, placing your drive in an environment that is too cold or humid may damage the unit. Place the drive in a well-ventilated space, and ideally allow up to 10cm of free space on all sides of the drive to allow for increased air circulation and cooling.
• Always unplug the hard drive 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 increased risk of electrical shock, short-circuiting or fire.
• If you need to use the optional power supply, only use that specific power supply.
• Do not place heavy objects on top of the drive or use excessive force on it.
• Never use excessive force on your drive. If you detect a problem, consult the Troubleshooting section in this manual.
• Protect your hard drive from excessive exposure to dust during use or storage. Dust can build up inside the device, increasing the risk of damage or malfunction.
• Never use benzene, paint thinners, detergent or other chemical products to clean the outside of the drive. Such products will disfigure and discolor the casing. Instead, use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the device.
Caution!
The drive's warranty may be void as a result of the failure to respect the precautions listed above.

2.4.2. USB Cables

USB is a serial input/output technology for connecting peripheral devices to a computer or to each other. Hi-Speed USB 2.0 is the latest implementation of this standard, and it provides the necessary bandwidth and data transfer rates to support high-speed devices such as hard drives, CD/DVD drives and digital cameras.
Benefits of the USB standard include:
• Backwards compatibility: Hi-Speed USB 2.0 works with the original USB specifications.
• Hot-swappable: no need to shut down or restart your computer when adding or removing devices.
Your LaCie drive is shipped with a Hi-Speed USB 2.0 cable, to ensure maximum data transfer performance when connected to a Hi-Speed USB 2.0 port. The cable will also work when connected to a USB port, but drive performance will be limited to USB 1.1 transfer rates.
Hi-Speed USB 2.0 cable: Connects USB devices to USB ports.

You will need to use the USB Power Boost Adapter if you encounter one of the following:
• If after plugging in your LaCie silverscreen it is not recognized by your computer.
• If after plugging in your LaCie silverscreen it is initially recognized by your computer, but after a short period of time the connection is lost.
• If after connecting, the LaCie silverscreen is recognized but when transferring files to or from the LaCie silverscreen, its activity and performance are erratic.
