Precautionary measures
To ensure that your Freecom Mobile Hard Drive / Desktop Hard Drive functions properly,
please take note of the following precautions. If these are not followed, you may void
your warranty and damage the Freecom Mobile Hard Drive / Desktop Hard Drive.
• Safely remove the Freecom Mobile Hard Drive / Desktop Hard Drive via your operating
system (the "unplug or eject hardware" option in the Windows taskbar) before
disconnecting the USB cable. Failing to do so may result in data loss.
• Do not drop the Freecom Mobile Hard Drive / Desktop Hard Drive or expose it to
other kinds of sudden mechanical shocks as this may result in data loss and damage
to the Freecom Mobile Hard Drive / Desktop Hard Drive.
• Do not use the Freecom Mobile Hard Drive / Desktop Hard Drive when the ambient
temperature is below 10°C or above 35°C.
• If the Freecom Mobile Hard Drive / Desktop Hard Drive is moved from a cool
environment to a warmer environment, please allow the drive to acclimatize to
the ambient temperature before operating the device. Failing to do so may lead
to condensation within the drive enclosure, which in turn may cause the drive to
malfunction.
• Do not place liquids or drinks on the Freecom Mobile Hard Drive / Desktop Hard
Drive. When liquids are spilled and get in contact with the electronics within the drive
enclosure, it will damage the drive and will cause the drive to malfunction.
• Do not use the Freecom Mobile Hard Drive / Desktop Hard Drive in a dusty environment.
Dust inside the enclosure may damage the internal electronics and result in drive
malfunction.
• Opening the Freecom Mobile Hard Drive / Desktop Hard Drive will void the
warranty.
• Since USB 2.0 is backwards compatible with USB 1.1, the Freecom Mobile Hard Drive
/ Desktop Hard Drive can be connected to all USB ports. When connected to a USB
1.1 port, however, the performance (data transfer rate) of the Freecom Mobile Hard
Drive / Desktop Hard Drive will be much lower than when the drive is connected to
a USB 2.0 port.
