Handle your drive with care! The following precautions can help prevent loss of data or damage to your drive:

• Do not set the drive on its side without using the vertical stand.

• Do not remove any cables or power cords without properly powering down the set top box, as instructed in your set top box manual.

Adding rubber feet to your QuickView Expander Drive

If you plan to use your drive on a flat surface, your kit includes four rubber feet to protect your drive and the surface it is on.

To apply the feet:

1. Make sure your QuickView Expander drive is disconnected properly from your DVR, and the drive is turned off.

2. The feet go on the bottom of your drive. Apply feet as illustrated on bottom of your drive.

3. Return the drive to its upright position, so it rests on the rubber feet.

Important Notice

Some Digital Video Recorders (DVR) will have auxiliary power outlets on the back of them.

Power outlets on the back of DVR’s should not be used to power the QuickView Expander drive. Doing so may be detrimental to the drive and the content you are recording.

When installing your QuickView Expander drive, make sure you plug the power cord for the drive into a wall outlet or power strip.

Do not remove any cables or power cords from the QuickView Expander without first disconnecting the external ESATA cable from the DVR. Failure to disconnect the external ESATA cable first could damage the drive or the content you are recording.

POWER CONNECTION CAUTION

Your cable service provider must enable and continue the connection to your Digital Video Recorder (DVR) for the Quickview Expander Drive to record.

Your service provider is responsible for all warranty and support services regarding your Cable and DVR. For additional information regarding the operation of your DVR, please contact your cable service provider.
