Usage Precautions

Important Information About Safety

• Be sure to connect the unit to a power source that conforms fully to the electrical specifications of this unit.

• Do not coil the power cord or bundle it with other cords. Do not piggy back connections. If current ratings are exceeded, there is a risk of fire and other accidents.

• Make sure that all AC outlets and power cords are properly grounded.

• Do not use the unit with the cover or case opened or removed. Otherwise there is a risk of fire and electric shock. Do not attempt to open or remove the cover or case yourself. Always consult your supplier if opening is necessary.

Important Information About Installation

Locations for use/storage

To prolong the life of the product, avoid use or storage in the following locations.

• Locations that can become extremely hot or cold. (Be sure to use the unit that conforms fully to the specifications of this unit.)

• Locations exposed for an extended time to direct sunlight, and locations near heating appliances. (Note that the temperature in a closed car in summer can exceed +50 ºC/+122 ºF.)

• Locations with high levels of humidity or dust

• Locations subject to strong vibrations

• Locations subject to strong magnetic fields

• Locations in the vicinity of radio or TV transmitters creating a strong magnetic field

Do not stack units or place the unit on other objects that generate heat

When one unit is stacked on top of another unit, the heat generated by both units can get extremely hot. Do not stack units on top of each other or place the unit on other objects that may generate heat.

Do not block the ventilation openings

• The ventilation openings on the sides of the unit serve to prevent internal heat buildup. Always leave a clearance on both sides as well as behind and above the unit.

• Do not use the unit in a closed box or other enclosure.

Use the unit in a horizontal position

• The unit is designed to be operated in a horizontal position.

• Do not install the unit on a slanted surface, and protect the unit from shocks.

• When the unit is dropped or otherwise subject to strong shocks, it can be seriously damaged.

Maintenance

• Before cleaning the unit or performing any other kind of maintenance, be sure to disconnect the power cord from the AC outlet.

• For cleaning, lightly wipe the cabinet and panels with a dry cloth. To remove stubborn stains, lightly moisten the cloth with a mild, neutral detergent and wipe with a dry cloth afterwards.

• Do not use cleaning alcohol, solvents, benzine, insecticide, or any other volatile substances, because these may damage the finish and lead to discoloration.

Usage Precautions

Transport

Use the original packing material or similar packing to protect the unit from shocks.

even to very light shocks. After this period, the hard disk will be fully stopped and the unit can be manipulated.

Precautions for products with built-in HDD

This unit has a built-in hard disk drive (HDD). The HDD is a precision device. If subject to shock, vibration, static electricity, high temperature or humidity, data loss can occur. When installing and using the unit, closely observe the following precautions.

Protect from shocks and vibrations

When subject to shocks or vibrations, the HDD can be damaged and loss of data on the HDD can occur.

• When transporting the unit, use the specified packing material. When transporting on a dolly or similar, use a type which does not transmit excessive vibrations. Excessive shocks and vibrations can damage the HDD.

• Never move the unit while it is powered.

• Do not remove panels or outer parts of the unit.

• When placing the unit on a floor or other surface, make sure that the unit is equipped with the specified rubber feet, and put the unit down carefully. If there are no feet, mount the rubber feet first.

• Do not place the unit near other devices that may become a source of vibrations.

Wait for 30 seconds after turning power off

For a brief interval after the power is turned off, the platters inside the HDD will still keep spinning and the heads will be in an insecure position. During this interval, the unit is more susceptible to shocks and vibrations than during normal operation. For a period of at least 30 seconds after turning power off, avoid subjecting the unit

Temperature and humidity related precautions

Use and store the unit only in locations where the specified temperature and humidity ranges are not exceeded. (Be sure to use the unit that conforms fully to the specifications of this unit.)

When HDD seems to be faulty

Even if the HDD is showing signs of malfunction, be sure to observe all the above precautions. This will prevent further damage from occurring until the problem can be diagnosed and corrected.

Replacement of the HDD and other consumable parts

The HDD, and battery of the unit are consumable parts that will need periodic replacement. When operating at room temperature, the recommended replacement cycle is about two to three years. However, this replacement cycle represents only a general guideline and does not imply that the life expectancy of these parts is guaranteed. For details on parts replacement, contact your dealer.

Precautions for using USB devices

• This unit supports USB 2.0 Mass Storage devices. However, it does not support USB 2.0 Mass Storage HDDs or CD/ DVD drives. Do not connect mass storage devices other than USB flash memory devices to the unit. Be aware that errors may still occur when writing data to a USB 2.0 Mass Storage memory device, depending on the type of device used. If errors occur when writing data, use a USB memory device of a different type.

• To ensure proper operation of USB devices, do not connect the devices via a USB hub. Connect the devices directly to
