Safety instruction
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.
Safety and installation
• Changing the hard disk must only be performed by a person who is experienced in repairing and up-
grading 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.
• The hard drive can become warm after long use. Make a contact with the hard drive on the black end
caps, in order to avoid potential increases in temperature.
• Follow the user guide for your PC.
• Never open the hard disk casing. If you do so, the hard disk will no longer be covered by the guaran-
tee.
• 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 applications/situations.

Safety instruction
1
• After transportation, wait until the equipment is at room temperature 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.
• Keep your hard disk and all connected equipment away from damp and avoid dust, heat and direct
sunlight in order to prevent operational problems.
• In order to avoid damage from a fall, place the hard disk on a stable and level surface which does not
vibrate.
• 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 guide-
lines 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.
• In the first hours of operation, new devices may emit a typical, unavoidable but completely harmless
smell, which will decline increasingly in the course of time.
We recommend you to ventilate the room regularly, in order to counteract the formation of the smell.
During the development of this product, we have made sure that the applicable limits are clearly fallen
below.

Cabling
• Arrange cables so no one can walk on or trip over them.
• Do not place objects on any of the cables.
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 characteristics - Limits and
methods of measurement
EN 55024 Information technology equipment - Immunity characteristics - Limits and methods of
measurement
EN 61000-3-2 Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) - Limits for harmonic current emissions (equipment
input current up to and including 16 A per phase)
EN 61000-3-3 Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) - Limitation of voltage changes, voltage fluctua-
tions and flicker in public low-voltage supply systems, for equipment with rated current
<= 16 A per phase and not subject to conditional connection
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.

Recycling and disposal
Device
Packaging
At the end of its life, the appliance must not be disposed of in household rubbish. Enquire
about the options for environmentally-friendly disposal.
All packaging and packaging materials that are no longer required can and should be
recycled.
Data security
Every time you update your data make back-up copies on an external storage medium. There is no liability
assumed for data loss or damage to data storage units, and no claims can be accepted for damages resulting from the loss of data or consequential losses.
