General Use Precautions

Cie Network Space contains no user- serviceable parts. If it appears to be malfunctioning, have it inspected by a qualified LaCie Technical Support representative.

✦✦ Never expose your device to rain, or use it near water, or in damp or wet conditions. Never place objects con- taining liquids on the LaCie Network Space, as they may spill into its open- ings. Doing so increases the risk of electrical shock, short-circuiting, fire

or personal injury.

✦✦ Make sure that the computer and LaCie Network Space are electri- cally grounded. If the devices are not grounded, there is an increased risk of electrical shock. Power require- ments 100-240 V~, X.x A, 60-50 Hz, (Supply voltage fluctuations not exceeding ± 10% of the nominal, transient over-voltages according to over-voltage category II).

✦✦ Do not expose the LaCie Network Space to temperatures outside the range of 5° C to 35° C (41° F to 95° F); or to operational humidity beyond 5-80%, non-condensing, or non- operating humidity beyond 10-90%, non-condensing. Doing so may dam- age the LaCie Network Space or dis- figure its casing. Avoid placing your LaCie Network Space near a source of heat or exposing it to sunlight (even through a window). Inversely, placing your LaCie Network Space in an en- vironment that is too cold or humid may damage the unit. Because of heat issues, LaCie recommends that users do not stack more than two LaCie disks together. When stacking two disks, environment temperature should not exceed 30°C (86°F).

✦✦ Always unplug the LaCie Network Space from the electrical outlet if there is a risk of lightning or if it will be unused for an extended period of time. Otherwise, there is an increased risk of electrical shock, short-circuit- ing or fire.

✦✦ Use only the power supply shipped with the device.

✦✦ Do not use the LaCie Network Space near other electrical appliances such as televisions or radios. Doing so may cause interference which will adversely affect the operation of the other products.

✦✦ Do not place the LaCie Network Space near sources of magnetic interference, such as computer displays, televisions or speakers. Magnetic interference

can affect the operation and stabil- ity of your LaCie Network Space. Do not place heavy objects on top of the LaCie Network Space or use ex- cessive force on it.

✦✦ Never use excessive force on your LaCie Network Space. If you detect a problem, see the Troubleshooting section in this manual.
