IMPORTANT INFO: Please connect the power supply before connecting the interface cable to ensure that the volume mounts correctly on your computer.

1.Connect the power supply to a wall outlet and to the hard drive (Fig. 02).

2.Turn on the drive by moving the power switch on the back of the drive to the ON position (Fig. 03).

3.Move on to the next step, section 2.2. Connecting the Inter- face cable.

CAUTION: Only use the AC adapter supplied with your specific LaCie hard disk. Do not use a power supply from another LaCie drive or another manufacturer. Using any other power cable or power supply may cause damage to the device and void your warranty.

Always remove the AC adapter before transporting your LaCie hard disk. Failure to remove the adapter may result in damage to your drive and will void your warranty.

TECHNICAL NOTE: You may use your LaCie hard disk when in a foreign country thanks to its 100-240 Volt power supply. To be able to use this feature, you may need to purchase an appropriate adapter or cord. LaCie accepts no responsibility for any damage to the drive resulting from the use of an inappropriate adapter. Using an adapter other than one authorized by LaCie will void your warranty.
