Handling Precautions

Handle your drive with care! Follow the precautions listed here or you could damage your drive and void your warranty. Review the Maxtor Limited Warranty Card, included in the box, for more information.

The following precautions can prevent loss of data:

•Do not bump, jar, drop the drive or move while in operation.

•Do not set the drive on its side without using the vertical stand as it could fall over and cause damage.
