Appendix Time Capsule Specifications and Safety Guidelines 35
About Operating and Storage Temperatures
 When you’re using your Time Capsule, it is normal for the case to get warm. The Time
Capsule case functions as a cooling surface that transfers heat from inside the unit to
the cooler air outside.
Avoid Wet Locations
 Keep your Time Capsule away from sources of liquid, such as drinks, washbasins,
bathtubs, shower stalls, and so on.
 Protect your Time Capsule from direct sunlight and rain or other moisture.
 Take care not to spill any food or liquid on your Time Capsule. If you do, unplug it
before cleaning up the spill.
 Do not use your Time Capsule outdoors. The Time Capsule is an indoor product.
Do Not Make Repairs Yourself
About Handling
Your Time Capsule may be damaged by improper storage or handling. Be careful not
to drop your Time Capsule when transporting it.
WARNING: To reduce the chance of shock or injury, do not use your Time Capsule in
or near water or wet locations.
WARNING: Do not attempt to open your Time Capsule or disassemble it. You run
the risk of electric shock and voiding the limited warranty. No user-serviceable parts
are inside.
