Safety instructions

Read the operating instructions carefully and especially observe the safety
information. If you do not follow the safety instructions and information on
proper handling in this manual, we assume no liability for any resulting
personal injury or damage to property. Such cases will invalidate the
warranty/guarantee.
• The device is not a toy. Keep it out of the reach of children and pets.
• Do not leave packaging material lying around carelessly. These may
become dangerous playing material for children.
• Protect the product from extreme temperatures, direct sunlight, strong
jolts, high humidity, moisture, flammable gases, vapors and solvents.
• Do not place the product under any mechanical stress.
• If it is no longer possible to operate the product safely, take it out of
operation and protect it from any accidental use. Safe operation can no
longer be guaranteed if the product:
- is visibly damaged,
- is no longer working properly,
- has been stored for extended periods in poor ambient conditions or
- has been subjected to any serious transport-related stresses.
• Please handle the product carefully. Jolts, impacts or a fall even from a
low height can damage the product.
• Also observe the safety and operating instructions of any other devices
which are connected to the product.
• Never move the product during operation with the hard drive installed.
Movement during operation could cause the disk read/write heads to
come into contact with the magnetic disc. This may result not only in data
loss but damage to the hard drive! Switch off the product and wait for at
least 30 seconds (until the magnetic discs of the hard drive have come to
a complete stop) before moving the product again.
• Do not place the product near loudspeakers or machines that emit a
strong magnetic field.
• Touch only the sides of your hard drive's housing, do not touch the circuit
board. Electrostatic discharges may destroy your hard drive.
• The mains outlet must be located near to the device and be easily
accessible.
• As power supply, only use the supplied mains adapter.
• Only connect the power adapter to a normal mains socket connected to
the public supply. Before plugging in the power adapter, check whether
the voltage stated on the power adapter complies with the voltage of your
electricity supplier.
• Never connect or disconnect power adapters if your hands are wet.
• Never unplug the power adapter from the mains socket by pulling on the
cable; always use the grips on the plug.
• When setting up the product, make sure that the cable is not pinched,
kinked or damaged by sharp edges.
• Always lay the cables so that nobody can trip over or become entangled
in them. This poses a risk of injury.
• For safety reasons, disconnect the power adapter from the mains socket
during storms.
• Never use the product immediately after it has been brought from a
cold room into a warm one. The condensation generated could destroy
the product. The plug-in power supply unit also involves danger to life
by electric shock! Allow the device to reach room temperature before
connecting and using it. This may take several hours.
• Consult an expert when in doubt about operation, safety or connection of
the device.
• Maintenance work, adjustments and repairs may be carried out only by a
professional or at a specialist workshop.
• If you have questions which remain unanswered by these operating
instructions, contact our technical support service or other technical
personnel.
