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 al-
ways correctly identify potential hazards.
• Hard disks are extremely fragile. Never drop or shake the hard drive - this could irre-
versibly damage the data on the hard disk. Be especially careful when transport-
ing 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 turn-
ing 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 com-
pletely harmless smell, which will decline increasingly in the course of time.
We recommend that you 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 dam-
aged. 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.
• To avoid power consumption when the device is switched off either pull 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.

FCC Compliance Statement
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital
device, pursuant to Part 15 of FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable
protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications.
However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation.
If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which
can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to
correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the
receiver is connected.
• Consult the dealer or an experienced technician for help.
Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance
could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment. Shielded interface cables, if any,
must be used in order to comply with the emission limits.
