Safety instructions

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. In the event that you transfer ownership of this product, please provide these instructions to the new owner.

• Never allow children to use electronic devices unsupervised. Children may not always correctly identify potential hazards.

• 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 prolonged use. handle the hard drive via the two black plastic caps to avoid transmitting the heat through to your hands.

• The hard drive consumes energy and becomes very warm during operation. Remove the hard drive from the data dock or from the plug power supply unit when not in use.

• 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 applications/situations.

• 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.

• 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 furniture on

it.

• 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.

• 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.

Electromagnetic compatibility/Conformity

This device fulfils the requirements of electromagnetic compatibility and electrical safety of the following:

EN 55022

EN 55024

EN 61000-3-2

EN 61000-3-3

EN 60950

• 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.

Information technology equipment - Radio disturbance characteristics - Limits and methods of measurement

Information technology equipment - Immunity characteristics Limits and methods of measurement

Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) - Limits for harmonic current emissions (equipment input current up to and including 16 A per phase)

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

Power supply

• Do not open the power adapter housing. When the housing is

• 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 power cable.

• 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 200240V~, 50 Hz.

• To avoid power consumption when the device is switched off either plug out the power plug when the device is not in use 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.
