Safety instructions
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
• 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 as we provide no
guarantee for this type of damage.
Safety instructions
3
• 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.
• The slits and openings in the hard disk are for air
circulation. Do not cover these openings, as this
could lead to overheating.
• Never open the casing of your hard disk, if you do
the hard disk will no longer be covered by our
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.
• Arrange cables so no one can walk on or trip over
them.
• Do not place objects on any of the cables.
• The slits and openings in the hard disk are for air
circulation. Do not cover these openings, as this
could lead to overheating.
• 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.
Safety instructions
5
• Please use our Service Center if you have any
technical problems with your hard disk. If repairs are
needed, please exclusively use 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 that you ventilate the room
regularly, to counteract the formation of the smell.
