Part 4 Care and Maintenance
• Be sure to use 100–120 / 200–240 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
• excessive dust
• high temperature
• intense vibration
• direct sunlight
• sudden changes in temperature
Avoid covering the ventilation hole on the side. If the hole is covered and the
internal temperature rises too high, the drive can malfunction. If you
absolutely must operate the drive in the upright position with the ventilation
hole facing downwards, mount the supplied rubber feet equivalent spacers on
the case, and locate the drive where air can circulate freely around the case.
