Precautionary measures

EN

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

Safely remove the Freecom Network Drive XS 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 Network Drive XS or expose it to other kinds of sudden mechanical shocks as this may result in data loss and damage to the Network Drive.

Do not use the Freecom Network Drive XS when the ambient temperature is below 10°C or above 30°C.

If the Freecom Network Drive XS 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 Network Drive XS. 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 Network Drive XS in a dusty environment. Dust inside the enclosure may damage the internal electronics and result in drive malfunction.

Opening the Freecom Network Drive XS will void the warranty.

Since USB 2.0 is backwards compatible with USB 1.1, the Freecom Network Drive XS can be connected to all USB ports. When connected to a USB 1.1 port, however, the performance (data transfer rate) of the Freecom Network Drive XS 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 Network Drive XS.
