General Information

Precautionary measures

To ensure that your Freecom Network Drive XS functions properly, please take note of

the following precautions. If these are not followed, you may void your warranty and

damage the Freecom Network Drive XS.

• Safely remove the Freecom Network Drive XS via your operating system (the "unplug

or eject hardware" option in the Windows taskbar) before disconnecting the USB

cable or power cable and before switching off the device. Failing to do so may result

in data loss.

• Do not drop the Freecom Network Drive XS or expose it to other kinds of sudden

mechanical shocks as this may result in data loss and damage to the Network

Drive.

• Do not use the Freecom Network Drive XS when the ambient temperature is below

10°C or above 30°C.

• If the Freecom Network Drive XS is moved from a cool environment to a warmer

environment, please allow the drive to acclimatize to the ambient temperature

before operating the device. Failing to do so may lead to condensation within the

drive enclosure, which in turn may cause the drive to malfunction.

• Do not place liquids or drinks on the Freecom Network Drive XS. When liquids are

spilled and get in contact with the electronics within the drive enclosure, it will

damage the drive and will cause the drive to malfunction.

• Do not use the Freecom Network Drive XS in a dusty environment. Dust inside the

enclosure may damage the internal electronics and result in drive malfunction.

• Opening the Freecom Network Drive XS will void the warranty.

• Since USB 2.0 is backwards compatible with USB 1.1, the Freecom Network Drive XS

can be connected to all USB ports. When connected to a USB 1.1 port, however, the

performance (data transfer rate) of the Freecom Network Drive XS will be much lower

than when the drive is connected to a USB 2.0 port.

• Only use the power adapter that was supplied with the Freecom Network Drive XS.
