Protect your drive from excessive ex- posure to dust during use or storage.

Dust can build up inside the device, increasing the risk of damage or mal- function.

Never use benzene, paint thinners, detergent or other chemical prod- ucts to clean the outside of the drive.

Such products will disfigure and discolor the front panel and casing. Instead, use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the device.
