rized to carry out maintenance on
this device.
✦ Read this User Manual carefully and
follow the correct procedure when
setting up the device.
✦ Do not open your LaCie 2big Net-
work or attempt to disassemble or
modify it. Never insert any metallic
object into the drive to avoid any risk
of electrical shock, fire, short-circuit-
ing or dangerous emissions. Your La-
Cie 2big Network contains no user-
serviceable parts. If it appears to be
malfunctioning, have it inspected by
a qualified LaCie Technical Support

✦ Never expose your device to rain, or
use it near water, or in damp or wet
conditions. Never place objects con-
taining liquids on the LaCie 2big Net-
work, as they may spill into its open-
ings. Doing so increases the risk of
electrical shock, short-circuiting, fire
or personal injury.
✦ Power requirements 100-240 V~,
1.44 A, 50-60 Hz, (supply voltage
fluctuations not exceeding ± 10%
of the nominal and transient over-
voltages according to over-voltage

General Use Precautions

✦ Do not expose your device to tem-
peratures outside the range of 5° C to
35° C (41° F to 95° F); or to opera-
tional humidity beyond 5-80%, non-
condensing, or non-operating humid-
ity beyond 10-90%, non-condensing.
Doing so may damage it or disfigure
its casing. Avoid placing your your de-
vice near a source of heat or exposing
it to sunlight (even through a window).
Inversely, placing your device in an
environment that is too cold or humid
may damage the unit.
✦ Always unplug the device from the
electrical outlet 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.
✦ Use only the power supply shipped
with the device.
✦ Do not use the device near other
electrical appliances such as televi-
sions or radios. Doing so may cause
interference which will adversely af-
fect the operation of the other prod-
ucts.
✦ Do not place the device near sources
of magnetic interference, such as
computer displays, televisions or
speakers. Magnetic interference can
affect the operation and stability of
your device.
✦ Never use excessive force on your
device. If you detect a problem, see
the Troubleshooting section in this
