Provides important information.

Safety precautions

Do not immerse the device (with the internal battery in it) in liquid such as water, beverages, or other fluids.

The battery (including protection circuit) may catch on fire, smoke, explode, or cause heat generation by unexpected electrical load.

Do not use device in a wet location. Do not connect/disconnect a power plug/cord with wet hands.

Keep the device (with the internal battery in it) away from heat and fire. Heat will damage the battery and may cause it to generate heat, smoke, catch fire, or explode.

Do not disassemble, modify, tamper with, or repair your device and/or the internal battery. Disassembly or modification of the device and/or battery may damage the protection circuit. This may cause the battery to generate heat, smoke, catch fire, or explode.

Do not leave parts such as plastic covers, battery, and electrical plug within the reach of children and pets. Misuse of the part including, without limitation, accidental swallowing the part may cause choking and suffocation resulting in death or serious injury. If you suspect a part has been swallowed, immediately take appropriate emergency action and consult a doctor.

Stop charging if the charging process cannot be finished. If the battery can not finish the charging process within the specified time, halt the charging process. The battery may generate heat, smoke, catch fire, or explode.

Discard this device in accordance with applicable laws and regulations. For disposal, reuse or recycling information, please contact your local government.

Always immediately turn the power off and disconnect the power cable/cord plug from the plug socket and stop using the device if you observe any of the following conditions: Offensive or unusual odor/Excessive heat/Discoloration/Deformation, crack, or leaks/Smoke/Other unusual event during use, such as abnormal sound. Do not turn on the device’s power again. Continued use could cause a fire or rupture possibly resulting in serious injury or drive failure, including but not limited to, the loss of data.

If the device is leaking or its case is cracked, put on protective gloves to handle it.

NOTE

Only operate the device and/or charge the battery in temperatures between 5 to 35º C (41 to 95º F). Operating and/or charging the device outside of this temperature range may result in the loss of data or damage to the drive. Charging the device outside of this temperature range may cause the battery to leak, generate heat, or result in serious damage. It may also cause the battery's performance and life to deteriorate.

Actual battery life may vary depending on settings, application usage, features or tasks selected, network configuration, operating temperature and many other factors. Recharge time varies depending on usage. The battery may not charge while the drive is consuming full power. After a period of time, the battery will lose its ability to perform at maximum capacity. This is normal for all batteries.

Additional Safety Precautions

Failure to observe any of the following instructions may result in risk of fire, electric shock, serious bodily injury and/or damage to your device.

Service Provider

Disconnect device from the electrical outlet and take device to an authorized Toshiba service provider if:

❖ AC adapter or power cable/cord is damaged. ❖ Liquid has spilled into device or an object (such

as a screw, staple or paper clip) has entered device.

❖ Device has been dropped, subject to shock or

impact and/or damaged in some way.

❖ Noticeable signs of overheating, smoke,

deformation, cracks, leaks or unusual odor occur.

❖ Service is needed on component inside

compartments requiring opening or removal of covers.

❖ Always use power cables/cords and power

sources that comply with the voltage and frequency specifications and requirements of the country of use.

❖ Be careful if you use a multiple connector as an

overload of one socket could cause a fire or electric shock, possibly resulting in serious injury.

❖ Always confirm that the power plug (and

extension cable plug if used) has been fully inserted into the socket, to ensure a secure electrical connection.

❖ Always make sure the drive and AC adapter have

adequate ventilation and are protected from overheating when the AC adapter is connected to a power outlet. Do not cover the drive during operation. Inadequate ventilation may cause the drive and AC adapter to overheat resulting in a fire or electric shock and serious injury.

❖ If dust gets on the power plug connectors or

connector base, turn the power off and disconnect the power plug. Then clean the connector and/or connector base with a dry soft cloth.

❖ Avoid extended contact between the drive and

your skin. The drive may become hot! Avoid prolonged contact to prevent skin irritation and/or heat injury.

❖ Never pull on a power cord/cable to remove a

plug from a socket. Always grasp the plug directly.

❖ Do not place the drive on a shaky table, uneven,

tilted surface or other unstable location. The drive may fall, causing damage to the drive or possible injury.

❖ Do not disconnect the USB cable or the AC

adapter while operating, as it may result in loss of data or damage to the drive.

❖ Do not bump, drop or jar the drive, as it may

result in loss of data or damage to the drive.

❖ Do not use the drive during a thunderstorm. If you

see lightning or hear thunder, immediately turn off the devices to which this drive is connected, computer and peripherals, and disconnect the power cord from the outlet, and disconnect the USB cable from the computer. An electric surge caused by the lightning may result in loss of data or damage to the drive.
