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 will assume no liability for any resulting
personal injury or damage to property. Such cases will invalidate the warranty/
guarantee.
• The product is not a toy. Keep it out of the reach of children and pets.
• Do not leave packaging material lying around carelessly. This may become
dangerous playing material for children.
• Protect the product from extreme temperatures, direct sunlight, strong jolts, high
humidity, moisture, flammable gases, vapours and solvents.
• Do not place the product under any mechanical stress.
• If it is no longer possible to operate the product safely, stop using it and prevent
unauthorized 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.
• Always handle the product carefully. Jolts, impacts or a fall even from a low height
may damage the product.
• Always observe the safety and operating instructions of any other devices which
are connected to the product.
• Never move the product with an installed hard disk drive when the latter is in
operation. Doing so may make the read/write heads on the hard disk drive touch
the magnetic disk. This may lead to data loss and damage the hard disk drive.
Turn the product off and wait at least 30 seconds (until the magnetic disks in the
hard disk drive have stopped rotating) before you move the product.
• Do not place the product in the proximity of speakers or machines that radiate a
strong magnetic field.
• Only touch the casing on the sides of the hard disk drive; do not touch the circuit
board. Electrostatic discharges may destroy your hard disk drive.
• The mains outlet must be located near to the device and be easily accessible.
• Only use the supplied mains adapter as a power supply.
• 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 mains adapter from the mains socket by pulling on the cable;
always use the grips on the plug.
• Disconnect the mains adapter from the mains socket if the unit is not in use for a
prolonged period of time.
• When setting up the product, make sure that the cables are 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.
• Do not touch the mains adapter if there are any signs of damage, as this may
cause a fatal electric shock!
First, switch off the mains voltage to the socket to which the mains adapter is
connected (switch off at the corresponding circuit breaker or remove the safety
fuse, and then switch off at the corresponding RCD protective switch, so the
socket is fully disconnected).
You can then unplug the mains adapter from the mains socket. Dispose of the
faulty mains adapter in an environmentally friendly manner and discontinue use.
Replace it with a mains adapter of the same design.
• 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 mains adapter also involves the risk to life from an electric shock! Allow the
product to reach room temperature before connecting it and putting it to use. This
may take several hours.
• Never pour any liquids over electrical devices or place objects filled with liquid next
to or on the product.
• Do not place the product in the direct proximity of heat sources (e.g. heater, stove,
oven, amplifier).
• Consult a technician if you are not sure how to use or connect the product.
• Maintenance, modifications and repairs are to be performed exclusively by an
expert or at a qualified shop.
• If you have questions which remain unanswered by these operating instructions,
contact our technical support service or other technical personnel.
