Operating Hints

❖
Use the emergency eject mechanism only if the
external drive is not connected to your computer or if
the computer's battery is discharged and there is no
power available for the eject button. Excessive use of
the emergency eject mechanism may damage it and
cause the mechanism to stop working.
❖
Never press the eject button while the drive is
accessing a disc.
❖
The external drive operates in a horizontal position.
To prevent possible damage, avoid changing the
drive's position while it is in use.
❖
Avoid using or storing the external drive in extreme
temperatures. The environmental specifications
while operating are 41° F to 95° F (5° C to 35° C).
❖
After transporting the external drive, allow it to reach
room temperature before using it.
❖
Avoid using the external drive in dusty or humid
environments.
Changes in temperature during transport,
particularly from a cool to a warmer
temperature, can cause condensation to form in
the drive and may result in operating problems.
Allowing the drive to reach room temperature
helps to prevent this.
