Technical Data; Tips & Notes - Conrad 41 63 60 Bedienungsanleitung

Handling
• Only use in dry indoor locations. The product must not get damp or wet! There is a
risk of a life-threatening electric shock!
• Never use the product immediately after it has been taken from a cold room to a
warm one. The condensation that forms might damage your unit. The wall plug
transformer also poses a risk for a potentially fatal electric shock!
Allow the product to reach room temperature before connecting it to the power
supply and putting it into use. This may take several hours.
• Avoid the following adverse conditions at the installation location and during trans-
portation:
- Excessive humidity or damp
- Extreme cold (<5 °C) or heat (>35 °C), direct sunlight
- Dust or fl ammable gases, fumes or solvents
- Strong vibrations, impacts or blows
- Strong magnetic fi elds such as those found in the vicinity of machinery or loud-
speakers
• Any maintenance or repair work may only be performed by an authorised repair
shop.
• When setting up the product, make sure that the cables are neither kinked nor
pinched.
• Do not move the product with a hard drive installed, when the latter is in use.
Movement during operation may cause the write/read heads in the hard drive to
make contact with the magnetic disk. This may not only lead to data loss but may
also damage the hard drive! The same applies to the 30-second period after the
hard disk enclosure has been switched off, until the magnetic disk in the hard drive
has come to a standstill.
Cleaning
Switch off the product and pull the power adapter out of the mains socket before cleaning the
product. Wait for at least 30 seconds until the magnetic disks in the hard drive have come to
a complete stop.
Use a clean, dry, soft cloth for cleaning. Do not use aggressive cleaning agents as these
can cause discolouration. Do not press too strongly on the surface when cleaning, to prevent
scratch marks.
Dust can easily be removed using a clean, long-haired brush and a vacuum cleaner.
Tips & Notes
a) USB 2.0
• USB 2.0 devices are backwards compatible. This means that the hard disk enclosure, with
the SATA hard disk installed, also works with slower USB 1.1 ports, though only at the maxi-
mum USB 1.1. speed.
• Depending on the hard disk in your computer, and the hard disk installed in the enclosure, as
well as the motherboard used, USB2.0 supports speeds during practical operation of about
30-40MByte/s.
• If the hard drive enclosure is to be connected via a USB hub, it must also support the USB2.0
transfer mode.
b) General
• The LED on the front lights up when the hard disk enclosure is switched on (Power LED
function), or it fl ashes during read/write access.
• USB devices can be connected and disconnected during operation.
You should, however, note that fi les could be damaged or the operating system could crash if
the connection cable is disconnected while data is being transferred or fi les are being opened
by a program.
In Windows, an arrow icon is displayed in the menu bar when the hard disk (or other USB
devices) is in use. Click on this arrow icon to "separate" the device, i.e. to terminate data
transmission, so you can disconnect the connection cable without risking losing data.
Disposal
Electrical and electronic products do not belong in the household waste!
Please dispose of the product, when it is no longer of use, according to the current
statutory requirements.
