For the state of California only.

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.

AC Adapter

❖ Always use the Toshiba AC Adapter that was provided

with your device or as specified by Toshiba and use correct power source specified on the regulatory label of the device or adapter. Always ensure a secure electrical connection. Be careful if you use a multiple connector to avoid current overload on one socket.

Disassembly, Modification, or Tampering

❖ Do not disassemble, modify, tamper with or repair your

device (including AC Adapter or power cable/cord).

❖ Do not leave parts such as plastic covers and electrical

plugs 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.

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 a component inside the

compartments requiring opening or removal of covers.

❖ If the Product produces an odor, overheats or smokes,

immediately turn off the drive and disconnect the power cord from the outlet and disconnect the USB cable from the device. Failure to do so may result in fire, damage to the drive and/or personal injury including burns and electric shock. Do not use the drive again and contact the Toshiba Customer Support Center.

❖ Do not plug the AC adapter into a power source that

does not correspond to the voltage, current and the frequency specified on the regulatory label of the unit. An overload on the socket and/or AC adapter may 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. Failure to do so may result in a fire or electric shock, possibly resulting in serious injury. Be careful if you use a multiple connector. An overload on one socket could cause a fire or electric shock, possibly resulting in serious injury.

❖ 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. Inadequate ventilation may cause the drive and AC adapter to overheat resulting in a fire or electric shock and serious injury.

❖ Unplug device from the electrical outlet before

cleaning. Do not use liquid cleaners or aerosol cleaners. The injected combustible gas produced by these types of cleaners may remain inside of your product. The electrostatic spark from the motor or contact point of switch may ignite the gas residue, which could result in an explosion, fire, or burn injury. Instead use a lightly dampened cloth for cleaning in general and remove dust with a dry cloth.

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

from a socket. Always grasp the plug directly.

Do not disconnect the USB cable and AC adapter while

❖

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

❖ Do not touch the USB cable and 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 at high or low temperatures or

sudden temperature changes. This may result in loss of data or damage to the drive. (Operating: 5° C-35° C)

❖ Do not use device in a wet location. Do not connect/

disconnect a power plug/cord with wet hands.

❖ Do not cover the drive during operation, as it may

become overheated.

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

lightning or hear thunder, immediately turn off the device to which this drive is connected, 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.

❖ 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 possibly injury.

NOTE

❖ Compatibility may vary depending on user's hardware

configuration and operating system.

❖ Use only the accessories supplied by the manufacturer.

This drive needs the power supply from the AC adapter supplied by the manufacturer.

❖ Product specifications are subject to change without

notice.
