Daily Use Tips

Read this User’s Guide carefully. Follow the correct procedure when setting up the device.

Additional application software may have been included with your drive. Please review the documentation included with this software for information on the operation and support of this software. The documentation can usually be found in an electronic format on the installation CD.

Always operate your drive on a steady, level surface. Do not move the unit while it’s turned on.

Plug your drive into a grounded electrical outlet. The use of “ground-defeating” adapters will cause damage not covered by your warranty.

Do not open your hard drive or attempt to disassemble or modify it. Never insert any metallic object into the drive to avoid any risk of electrical shock, fire, short-circuiting or dangerous emissions. Your drive contains no user serviceable parts. If it appears to be malfunctioning, contact MicroNet Support.

RAIDBank5 is compatible with the leading hard disk repair and defragmentation software. Contact your local software retailer for more information about the software best suited for your computer.

General Use Precautions

Do not expose the hard drive to temperatures outside the range of 5°C (41°F) to 45°C (104°F). Doing so may damage the drive or disfigure its casing. Avoid placing your drive near a source of heat or exposing it to sunlight (even through a window.)

Never expose your device to rain, or use it near water, or in damp or wet conditions. Doing so increases the risk of electrical shock, short-circuiting, fire or personal injury.

Always unplug the hard drive from the electrical outlet if there is a risk of lightning or if it will be unused for an extended period of time.

Do not place the drive near sources of magnetic interference, such as computer displays, televisions or speakers. Magnetic interference can affect the operation and stability of your RAIDBank5.

Do not place heavy objects on top of the drive or use excessive force on it.

Never use benzene, paint thinners, detergent or other chemical products to clean the outside of the RAIDBank5. Instead, use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the device.
