Wipe off the dust on the drive using a soft cloth. If the dust is persistent, use a cloth dampened with a diluted neutral detergent after squeezing all the water out. If liquid is allowed into the drive, it may cause a serious malfunction, an electric shock or a fire. When cleaning with liquid, be sure to remove the USB power cable and the USB data cable from the drive after disconnecting the drive from your computer.
Do not apply solvents such as benzene or thinner. Chemical cleaners for home or industrial use may damage the coating of the drive.
