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
• 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 skills, call in a technician.
• 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 transporting
the hard disk as we provide no guarantee for this type of damage.
• The hard drive can become warm after prolonged use.
• Never open the casing of your hard disk, if you do the hard disk will no longer be cov-
ered by our guarantee.
• Do not let children play unattended with electrical devices.
• 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.
• 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 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 you ventilate the room regularly, to counteract the formation of the
smell.
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
EN 55024
EN 61000-3-2
EN 61000-3-3
EN 60950 Safety of information technology equipment
• On connecting the hard disk, you must keep to the guidelines for electromagnetic
compatibility.
• Ensure your hard disk is located at least one meter away from sources of high fre-
quency 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
Cleaning
• Before cleaning your hard disk drive, always unplug all connection cables.
• Do not use any solvents, corrosive or gaseous cleaning products.
Caution!
This equipment does not include any parts that need servicing or cleaning.
Recycling and disposal
