Proper ventilation
Avoid sudden changes in temperature
• 100 to 240 V AC.
• Avoid plugging into the same outlet as high-current equipment like copiers
or shredders.
• Do not crush the cable or place heavy items on it. If the cable insulation
appears worn or broken, do not use the cable.
• Always unplug the cable by holding the plug: never pull the cable itself, as
it will break.
• If the drive is not being used for a long time, unplug the cable from the
outlet.
Intense shock, such as from dropping the drive, will damage it.
Do not store or use the drive in locations subject to:
• high humidity
• high temperature
• direct sunlight
To avoid overheating, install the drive where it has free air circulation around
the case and cooling fan. Also, do not cover the drive during operation. The
drive can malfunction if its internal temperature rises too high.
If the drive is moved from a cool place to a warm place, or if the room
temperature suddenly rises, moisture may condense inside the case. After a
sudden change in temperature, wait at least one hour before turning the drive
on.
• excessive dust
• intense vibration
• sudden changes in temperature
