Precautionary measures

GB

To ensure that your Freecom FSG-3 functions properly, please take note of the following precautions. If these are not followed, you may void your warranty and damage the FSG-3.

Do not drop the Freecom FSG-3 or expose it to other kinds of sudden mechanical shocks as this may result in data loss and damage to the hard drive.

Do not use the Freecom FSG-3 when the ambient temperature is below 10°C or above 45°C.

If the Freecom FSG-3 is moved from a cool environment to a warmer environment, please allow the drive to acclimatize to the ambient tempera- ture 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 FSG-3. 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 FSG-3 in a dusty environment. Dust inside the enclosure may damage the internal electronics and result in drive malfunction.

Only use the power adapter that was supplied with the FSG-3.

Opening the FSG-3 will void the warranty.
