SAFETY AND INSTALLATION
Please read this chapter carefully and observe all listed notes. This will
ensure reliable operation and long life expectancy of your product. Keep
these instructions with your product at all times. The proper set up, use
and care can help extend the life of your product. In the event that you
transfer ownership of this product, please provide these instructions to
the new owner.
Changing the hard disk must only be performed by a person who
is experienced in repairing and upgrading PCs.
Should you not possess the necessary qualifications, call in a
technician.
Hard disks are extremely fragile. Never drop or shake the hard drive -
this could irreversibly damage the data on the hard disk. Be especially
careful when transporting the hard disk. We provide no guarantee
for this type of damage.
Follow the user guide for your PC.
Only use the hard disk with the original power supply unit. The
socket must be located near the equipment and be easy to reach.
If the power adapter plug is pulled out, the external hard disk will
be disconnected from the mains.
Do not insert any objects through the slits and openings into
the interior of the hard disk. This could lead to a short circuit
or even cause a fire.
Never open the hard disk casing. If you do so, the hard disk will
no longer be covered by the guarantee.
Do not let children play unattended with electrical devices.
Children cannot always recognize the possible danger.
The hard disk is not designed for use in commercial applica-
tions/situations.
After transportation, wait until the equipment is at room tem-
perature before turning it on. If there is a large difference in temperature or humidity, damp can build up through condensation
and cause an electrical short circuit.
In order to avoid damage from a fall, place the hard disk on a sta-
ble and level surface which does not vibrate.

Keep your hard disk and all connected equipment away from
damp and avoid dust, heat and direct sunlight in order to prevent operational problems.
The slits and openings in the hard disk are for air circulation. Do not
cover these openings, as this could lead to overheating.
For additional safety, we recommend using power connection
through a power surge protection unit in order to protect your
equipment from power surges and lightning strikes.
The voltages and interfaces used in the equipment are in line with
the low voltage protection guidelines set out in EN60950. Connections to other equipment may only be made using similar interfaces with low voltage protection in accordance with EN 60950.
Please use our Service Center if you have any technical problems
with your hard disk. If repairs are needed, please use exclusively
our authorised service partners.
ELECTROMAGNETIC COMPATIBILITY/ CONFORMITY
WITH NORMS
This device fulfils the requirements of electromagnetic compatibility and
electrical safety of the following norms:
EN 55022 Information technology equipment - Radio disturbance

EN 61000-3-2 Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) - Limits for har-
EN 61000-3-3 Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) - Limitation of
EN 60950 Safety of information technology equipment
On connecting the hard disk, you must keep to the guidelines for
electromagnetic compatibility.
Make sure that it is located at least one meter away from sources
of high frequency and magnetic disturbance (TVs, speakers, mobile telephones, etc. ) in order to avoid operational problems and
data loss.
