Please follow the precautions listed below. Failure to so do may result

in damage to the device, loss of data, and voiding of the warranty.

• We strongly recommend that you backup the files stored on the device.

Toshiba is not responsible for data loss or corruption; nor will Toshiba

perform recovery of lost data or files.

• Do not attempt to open, disassemble, or modify the device.

• Do not expose the device to damp or wet conditions.

• Never place containers of liquids on the device. This can damage

the device and increase the risk of electric shock, short-circuiting,

fire, or personal injury.

• Do not expose this device to temperatures outside the range of

5°C to 40°C when the device is in operation, and -20ºC to 60ºC

when not in operation.

• Do not bump, jar or drop the device.

• Do not stand the device in a way not described in this guide.

• Do not disconnect any cables, while the device is powered on,

without first unmounting the device.

• Do not plug the Drive into a USB port on a keyboard or hub that

does not have its own power supply.

Precautions

The User's Guide is uploaded on the drive itself. We recommend to

backup the User's Guide onto a CD or your local drive, directly after

the drive being installed.
