through a window). Inversely, plac-
ing your LaCie Ethernet Disk in an
environment that is too cold or hu-
mid may damage the unit.
✦
Always unplug the LaCie Ethernet
Disk from the electrical outlet if
there is a risk of lightning or if it

ances such as televisions, radios
or speakers. Doing so may cause
interference which will adversely
affect the operation of the other

interference, such as computer
displays, televisions or speakers.
Magnetic interference can affect
the operation and stability of your

ference to the nearby radio and televi-
sion reception. It is essential that only
the supplied power cord be used.
