FCC Statement:

Warning! Modifications not authorized by the manufacturer may void the user’s authority to operate this 
device.

NOTE:

 This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, 

pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against 
harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio 
frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful 
interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a 
particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference with radio or television reception, 
which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the 
interference by one or more of the following measures:

 

-

Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.

 

-

Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.

 

-

Connect the equipment to an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is 
connected.

Health and Safety Precautions:

 

-

Read this user guide carefully and follow the correct procedures when setting up the device.

 

-

Use proper anti-static precautions while performing the installation of your hard drives into this 
drive enclosure. Failure to do so can cause damage to your drive mechanisms and/or the hard 
drive enclosure.

 

-

Do not attempt to disassemble or modify the device. To avoid any risk of electrical shock, fire, 
short-circuiting or dangerous emissions, never insert any metallic object into the device. If it 
appears to be malfunctioning, contact OWC technical support.

 

-

Never expose your device to rain, or use it near water or in damp or wet conditions. Never place 
objects containing liquids on the drive, as they may spill into its openings. Doing so increases the 
risk of electrical shock, short-circuiting, fire or personal injury.
