To ensure that your Freecom Hard Drive Secure functions properly, please take note of the following precautions. If these are not followed, you may void your warranty and damage the Freecom Hard Drive Secure.
•Safely remove the Freecom Hard Drive Secure via your operating system (the "unplug or eject hardware" option in the Windows taskbar) before disconnecting the USB cable or power cable and before switching off the device. Failing to do so may result in data loss.
•Do not drop the Freecom Hard Drive Secure or expose it to other kinds of sudden mechanical shocks as this may result in data loss and damage to the Freecom Hard Drive Secure.
•Do not use the Freecom Hard Drive Secure when the ambient temperature is below 10°C or above 35°C.
•If the Freecom Hard Drive Secure 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 Hard Drive Secure. 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 Hard Drive Secure in a dusty environment. Dust inside the enclosure may damage the internal electronics and result in drive malfunction.
•Opening the Freecom Hard Drive Secure will void the warranty.
•Since USB 2.0 is backwards compatible with USB 1.1, the Freecom Hard Drive Secure can be connected to all USB ports. When connected to a USB 1.1 port, however, the performance (data transfer rate) of the Freecom Hard Drive Secure will be much lower than when the drive is connected to a USB 2.0 port.
•Only use the power adapter that was supplied with the Freecom Hard Drive Secure.
