LaCie 1038 Precautions

• Do not expose the drive to temperatures outside the range of 5° C to 45° C (41° F to 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). Inversely, placing your drive in an environment that is too cold or humid may damage the unit.

• Always unplug the drive if there is a risk of lightning or if it will not be used for an extended period of time. Otherwise,

there is an increased risk of electrical shock, short-circuiting or fire.

• Do not place heavy objects on top of the drive or use excessive force on its buttons, connectors and tray. Doing so increases

the risk of damage to the device.

• Always place your drive in a horizontal position before using it. Otherwise, it may fall, causing damage to the device and

/ or corruption or loss of data.

• Always remove the disc from the disc tray before transporting your drive. Otherwise, written data may be destroyed or the

drive's internal components may be damaged.

• Never use excessive force on the disc loading system; discs should be inserted effortlessly into your drive. If you detect a

problem, consult the Troubleshootingsection.

• Protect your drive from excessive exposure to dust during use or storage. Dust can build up inside the device, increasing the

risk of damage or malfunction.

• Never use benzene, paint thinners, detergent or other chemical products 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.
