Safety
The hard drive is not intended to be used by individuals with
restricted physical, sensory or intellectual abilities or a lack of
experience and/or knowledge (including children), unless they are
being supervised by an individual responsible for their safety or
have received instructions about how the hard drive is to be used
from such a person. Children should be supervised to ensure that
they do not play with the hard drive.
Keep the packaging material, such as plastics, away from children.
There could be the danger of suffocation in the case of misuse.
Hard drives are extremely fragile. Never drop or shake the hard
drive - this could irreversibly damage the data on the hard drive. Be
especially careful when transporting the hard drive as we
provide no guarantee for this type of damage.
The hard drive consumes energy and becomes very warm during
operation. Remove the hard drive from the PC when not in use.
Do not insert any objects through the slits and openings into the
interior of the hard drive. This could lead to a short circuit or even
cause a fire.
Never open the casing of your hard drive, if you do the hard drive
will no longer be covered by our guarantee.
The hard drive must not be subjected to drops of water or spray. Do
not place any containers filled with liquid (vases or similar objects)
onto or close to the hard drive. The container could tip over and
liquid can impair electrical safety.

After transportation, wait until the equipment is at room
temperature before turning it on. If there is a large difference in
temperature or humidity, damp can build up through condensation
and cause an electrical short circuit.
Keep your hard drive and all connected equipment away from
dampness and avoid dust, heat and direct sunlight in order to
prevent operational problems.
In order to avoid damage from a fall, place the hard drive on a
stable and level surface which does not vibrate.
Position the cable so that no one can step on it or stumble over it.
Do not place any objects or furniture on the cord to avoid
damage to it.
The slits and openings in the hard drive are for air circulation. Do
not cover these openings, as this could lead to overheating.
The voltages and interfaces used in the equipment are in line with
the low voltage protection guidelines set out in AS/NZS 60950.
Connections to other equipment may only be made using similar
interfaces with low voltage protection in accordance with AS/NZS
60950.
Please contact the MEDION Help Desk if you have any technical
problems with your hard drive. If repairs are needed, please
exclusively use our authorised service partners.
In the first hours of operation, new devices may emit a typical,
unavoidable but completely harmless smell, which will decrease in
the course of time.
We recommend that you ventilate the room regularly, to
counteract the formation of the smell.

Connect the external hard drive to your computer using a free USB 3.0
port.

USB or a 2.0 USB port. However, the transfer speed will then be
significantly lower.
