Using Your Time Capsule Safely
 The only way to shut off power completely to your Time Capsule is to disconnect it
from the power source.
 When connecting or disconnecting your Time Capsule, always hold the plug by its
sides. Keep fingers away from the metal part of the plug.
 Your Time Capsule should not be opened for any reason, even when it’s unplugged.
If your Time Capsule needs service, see “Learning More, Service, and Support” on
 Never force a connector into a port. If the connector and port don’t join with
reasonable ease, they probably don’t match. Make sure that the connector matches
the port and that you’ve positioned the connector correctly in relation to the port.
