Tips and important information
a) USB 3.0
• Your computer must support the USB 3.0 standard in order to be able to use USB 3.0
speeds.
• If you are connecting the product to a USB hub, the USB hub must support the
USB 3.0 standard in order to provide the maximum transfer speed (max. 5 Gb/s).
b) General information
• Before turning the product off, eject the hard disk drive from your computer to avoid
data loss. Refer to the documentation from the operating system manufacturer.
• The product recognises when the computer is turned on/off and turns itself on/off
accordingly. When the computer is turned off or placed in hibernation mode, the
inserted hard disk drive turns itself off along with the LED indicator on the product.
On some operating systems, only the monitor and connected peripheral devices
are turned off when the computer is placed in hibernation mode; the mainboard
continues to be supplied with a current. If so, the inserted hard disk drive and the
LED indicator do not turn off.
• Note that files may be damaged and the operating system may crash if the
connection cable is disconnected when data is being transferred. Always unmount
the hard disk drive via the operating system before disconnecting the connection
cable.
• Always handle hard disk drives carefully. Vibrations during use and even a few
seconds after the hard disk drive has turned off may make the read/write heads
touch the magnetic disk, which can destroy the hard disk drive.
• When connecting the hard disk drive for the first time, it may take approximately
one minute until the hard disk drive is recognised. This time may vary depending on
the operating system.
Maintenance and cleaning
Never use aggressive and abrasive detergents, rubbing alcohol or other
chemical solutions, as these could damage the casing or even impair the
functioning of the product.
• You do not need to carry out maintenance work on the product.
• Disconnect the USB cable from the product before cleaning. Wait at least 30
seconds until the magnetic plates on the hard disk drive have come to a complete
standstill.
• Do not immerse the product in water.
• A dry, soft and clean antistatic cloth is sufficient for cleaning the exterior. Do not
press too hard on the casing as this can lead to scratch marks.
• Dust can be easily removed using a soft and clean long-haired brush.
Disposal
Electronic devices are recyclable waste and must not be disposed of in the
household waste.
At the end of its service life, dispose of the product according to the
relevant statutory regulations.
You thus fulfil your statutory obligations and contribute to the protection of the
environment.
