Only qualified persons are authorized
to carry out maintenance on this de-
vice.
❖
Read this User Manual carefully and
follow the correct procedure when set-
ting up the device.
❖
Do not open your LaCie Ethernet
Disk mini 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
Ethernet Disk mini contains no user-
serviceable parts. If it appears to be
malfunctioning, have it inspected by a
qualified LaCie Technical Support rep-
resentative.
❖
Never expose your device to rain, or
use it near water, or in damp or wet
conditions. Never place objects con-
taining liquids on the LaCie Ethernet
Disk mini, as they may spill into its
openings. Doing so increases the risk
of electrical shock, short-circuiting, fire
or personal injury.
❖
Make sure that the computer and
LaCie Ethernet Disk mini are electri-
cally grounded. If the devices are not
grounded, there is an increased risk of
electrical shock. Power requirements
100-240 V~, 1.5 A, 60-50 Hz, (Sup-
ply voltage fluctuations not exceeding
± 10% of the nominal, transient over-
voltages according to over-voltage
category II).
Health and Safety Precautions
❖
Do not expose the LaCie Ethernet Disk
mini to temperatures outside the range
of 5° C to 35° C (41° F to 95° F); or to
operational humidity beyond 5-80%,
non-condensing, or non-operating
humidity beyond 10-90%, non-con-
densing. Doing so may damage the
LaCie Ethernet Disk mini or disfigure
its casing. Avoid placing your LaCie
Ethernet Disk mini near a source of
heat or exposing it to sunlight (even
through a window). Inversely, placing
your LaCie Ethernet Disk mini in an
environment that is too cold or humid
may damage the unit.
❖
Always unplug the LaCie Ethernet Disk
mini from the electrical outlet if there
is a risk of lightning or if it will be un-
used for an extended period of time.
Otherwise, there is an increased risk of
electrical shock, short-circuiting or fire.
❖
Use only the power supply shipped
with the device.
❖
Do not use the LaCie Ethernet Disk
mini near other electrical appliances
such as televisions or radios. Doing
so may cause interference which will
adversely affect the operation of the
other products.
❖
Do not place the LaCie Ethernet Disk
mini near sources of magnetic interfer-
ence, such as computer displays, tele-
visions or speakers. Magnetic inter-
ference can affect the operation and
stability of your LaCie Ethernet Disk mini.
Do not place heavy objects on top of
the LaCie Ethernet Disk mini or use ex-
cessive force on it.
❖
Never use excessive force on your La-
Cie Ethernet Disk mini. If you detect a
