Health and Safety Precautions
Only qualified persons are authorized to carry out maintenance on this device.
• Read this User's Guide carefully, and follow the correct procedure when setting up the device.
• Do not open your LaCie SAFE mobile hard drive or attempt to disassemble or modify it. Never insert any metallic object
into the drive to avoid any risk of electrical shock, fire, short-circuiting or dangerous emissions. Your LaCie SAFE mobile hard
drive 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 containing
liquids on the LaCie SAFE mobile hard drive, as they may spill into its openings. Doing so increases the risk of electrical
shock, short-circuiting, fire or personal injury.
General Use Precautions:
• Do not expose the LaCie SAFE mobile hard drive to temperatures outside the range of 5° C to 45° C (41° F to 104° F).
Doing so may damage the hard drive or disfigure its casing. Avoid placing your LaCie hard drive near a source of heat or
exposing it to sunlight (even through a window). Inversely, placing your LaCie hard drive in an environment that is too cold
or humid may damage the unit.
• Always unplug the LaCie SAFE mobile hard drive 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-circuiting or fire.
• If an external power supply is needed, please use only the optional AC power adapter from LaCie.
• Do not use the LaCie SAFE mobile hard drive near other electrical appliances such as televisions, radios or speakers. Doing
so may cause interference which will adversely affect the operation of the other products.
• Do not place the LaCie SAFE mobile hard drive near sources of magnetic interference, such as computer displays,
televisions or speakers. Magnetic interference can affect the operation and stability of your LaCie hard drive.
• Do not place heavy objects on top of the LaCie SAFE mobile hard drive or use excessive force on it.
• Never use excessive force on your LaCie SAFE mobile hard drive. If you detect a problem, consult sections
9. Troubleshooting Your LaCie Drive and 10. Troubleshooting the Fingerprint Sensor in this manual.
• Protect your LaCie SAFE mobile hard 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 LaCie SAFE mobile
hard drive. Such products will disfigure and discolor the casing. Instead, use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the device.
Caution! The LaCie SAFE mobile hard drive's warranty may be void as a result of the failure to respect the
precautions listed above.
