INSTALLATION
Water and Moisture – Do not use power-line operated units near water ­for example, near a bathtub, washbowl, kitchen sink, or laundry tub, in a wet basement, or near a swimming pool, etc.
Power-Cord Protection – Route the power cord so that it is not likely to be walked on or pinched by items placed upon or against them, paying particular attention to the plugs, receptacles, and the point where the cord exits from the appliance.
Accessories – Do not place the unit on an unstable cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table. The unit may fall, causing serious injury to a child or an adult, and serious damage to the unit. Use only a cart stand tripod, bracket, or table recommended by the manufacturer.
Ventilation – The slots and openings in the cabinet are provided for necessary ventilation. To ensure reliable operation of the unit, and to protect it from overheating, these slots and openings must never be blocked or covered.
• Never cover the slots and openings with a cloth or other materials.

Precautions

Installation
Avoid placing the drive in a location subject to:
– high humidity
– high temperature
– mechanical shock and vibration
– direct sunlight
Operation
• Do not move the drive while it is operating. It may cause malfunction.
• Avoid exposing the drive to sudden changes from low to high temperatures. This may cause water condensation to collect inside the drive. If the ambient temperature should suddenly rise while the drive is turned on , wait at least one hour before turning on the drive. If you attempt to operate the drive immediately after a sudden increase in temperature, a malfunction may occur.
• Turning off the power to the drive while it is writing to tape may cause the tape to become unreadable. All previously negotiated parameters will be lost, whenever power to the drive is cycled.
Transportation
• Keep the original packing materials to facilitate transportation of the drive.
• Always remove the data cartridge before moving the drive. After removing the drive from the computer, repack the drive into its original packing.
