2. Power and other Safety Precautions
Do not leave parts such as plastic covers and the electric plug within reach of
children and pets. Misuse of parts including, but not restricted to, accidental
swallowing may cause choking and suffocation resulting in death or serious
injury. If you suspect a part has been swallowed, immediately take appropri-
ate emergency action and consult a doctor.
Do not place the drive on a shaky table, uneven, tilted surface or other unstable
location. The drive may fall, causing damage to the drive or possibly injury.
Do not carry out improper maintenance or disassemble, as this may cause
personal injury or may result in electric shock or re.
Do not expose the drive to wet or damp conditions, as it may result in electric
shock or re.
Do not allow any liquids or metal objects such as screws, staples or paper
clips to enter the drive.Foreign objects may create a short circuit, which may
cause product damage and re, possibly resulting in serious injury.
Do not use the drive when the metal parts and plastic parts exhibit abnormal
characteristics, as this may result in electric shock.
Do not use the drive if it has been dropped or damaged, as this may result in
electric shock.
If the Product produces an odor, overheats or smokes, immediately turn off
the device and disconnect the cable from the device. Failure to do so may
result in re, damage to the drive and/or personal injury including burns and
electric shock. Do not use the drive again. Please contact the store from
which you purchased it.
Avoid extended contact between the drive and your skin. The drive may
become hot! Avoid prolonged contact to prevent skin irritation and/or heat
injury.
Do not directly touch the connector or the printed circuit board (PCB) of the
product. Static electricity from contacting objects such as human body may
harm the product, or result in loss or damage to the data. Touch a nearby
metal object (such as doorknob) to remove the static electricity from your
body, and then touch the product.
Do not forcibly connect/disconnect the cable. Such actions may damage the
connector of the product. Connect/disconnect the cable to/from the product
straight and slowly.
Take anti-static measures to avoid damage to the drive when handling.
The drive uses parts susceptible to damage due to ESD (electrostatic
discharge).
Always ground yourself with such as ESD proof wrist strap connected to
ground before handling.
NOTICE
Do not bump, drop or jar the drive, as it may result in loss of data or damage
to the drive.
Do not use the drive at high or low temperatures or sudden temperature
changes. This may result in loss of data or damage to the drive.
Make sure that you backup all your data as much as you can on the drive to
the other storage drive.
Do not expose the drive to dew condensation, as it may result in loss of data
or damage to the drive.
Do not use the drive during a thunderstorm. If you see lightning or hear
thunder, immediately turn off the devices to which the drive is connected,
computer and peripherals. An electric surge caused by the lightning may
result in loss of data or damage to the drive.
Do not clean the drive or any accessories with any chemicals. To clean the
outside of the drive or the accessories, use a dry soft cloth. Use of chemicals
may result in deterioration, deformation or discoloration of those items and
the loss of data.
NOTE
Compatibility may vary depending on user’s hardware conguration and
operating system.
If the drive is not provided enough power, the drive does not operate.
One Gigabyte (1GB) means 10

= 1,000,000,000 bytes and one Terabyte
(1TB) means 10
12
= 1,000,000,000,000 bytes using powers of 10. A computer
operating system, however, reports storage capacity using powers of 2 for the
denition of 1GB = 2
30
= 1,073,741,824 bytes and 1TB = 2
40
=
1,099,511,627,776 bytes, and therefore shows less storage capacity.
Available storage capacity (including examples of various media les) will
vary based on le size, formatting, setting, software and operating system
and other factors.
Product specications are subject to change without notice.
