✦ Do not open your LaCie rikiki go or at-

near water, or in damp or wet conditions.

personal injury.

General Use Precautions

✦ Do not expose the LaCie rikiki go to tem-
peratures outside the range of 5° C to 35°
C (41° F to 95° F); or to operational hu-
midity beyond 5-80%, non-condensing,
or non-operating humidity beyond 10-
90%, non-condensing. Doing so may
damage the LaCie rikiki go or disfigure
its casing. Avoid placing your LaCie rikiki
go near a source of heat or exposing it

versely, placing your LaCie rikiki go in
an environment that is too cold or humid
may damage the unit.
✦ Always unplug the LaCie rikiki go if
there is a risk of lightning or if it will be
unused for an extended period of time.
Otherwise, there is an increased risk of
electrical shock, short-circuiting or fire.

ence which will adversely affect the op-
eration of the other products.

fect the operation and stability of your
