Safety instruction
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.
• Do not let children play unattended with electrical devices.
Children cannot always recognize the possible danger.
• 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.
• The hard drive can become very warm after long use. Make a con-
tact with the hard drive on the black end caps, in order to avoid potential increases in temperature.
• The hard drive consumes energy and becomes very warm during op-
eration. Remove the hard drive from the data dock or from the plug
power supply unit if you are not using the drive.
• Follow the user guide for your PC.
• 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.
• The hard disk is not designed for use in commercial applica-
tions/situations.
• After transportation, wait until the equipment is at room tempera-
ture 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.
• Route the cable so that no one can step on it or stumble over it.
• To avoid damage to the cable do not place any objects or furni-
ture on the cable.
• The slits and openings in the hard disk are for air circulation. Do not co-
ver 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.
• In the first hours of operation, new devices may emit a typical, un-
avoidable 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.
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 charac-
teristics - Limits and methods of measurement
EN 61000-3-2 Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) - Limits for har-
monic 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 fluctuations 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.
Safety when Making Connections
Power supply
• Do not open the power adapter housing. When the hous-
• The power socket must be in the vicinity of the device and within
reach of the power adapter cables. DO NOT stretch the power cables tightly to reach a power socket.
• To disconnect your device from the power source remove the power
cord from the power socket. Always hold the power supply unit
firmly when taking it out. Never pull the lead.
• Do not cover the power supply unit, in order to avoid damage
through unacceptable warming.
• Stop using the power supply unit if the housing or the feed line to
the device is damaged. Replace it with a power supply unit of the
same type.
• Only use the power supply unit at earthed power points with AC
200-240V~, 50 Hz. Enquire at the energy supplier concerned if you
are not certain about the power supply at the setting up location.
• To avoid power consumption when the device is switched off either
pull out the power plug when the device is not used or connect the
device to a master-/slave power bar.
• If using an extension cord, make certain that it meets your local
safety requirements. If in doubt, consult a qualified electrician.
• To provide additional protection against electric shock, power surges,
lightning strikes, or other electrical damage to your device, we recommend the use of a surge protector.
