Health, Safety and General Use Precautions
The drive you have just purchased includes a laser diode device, which classifies it as a "Laser Class I" product. This laser is
not dangerous for the user under normal operating conditions. However, we strongly advise you not to place any reflective
objects in the disc loading system, due to the risk of exposure to laser emissions that may be reflected by such objects.
Always follow the basic precautions listed below to use your LaCie drive safely and correctly. Respecting these guidelines will
help to avoid the possibility of personal injury to yourself or others, as well as to prevent damage to your device and other
computer equipment. These precautions include, but are not limited to, the following:
Health and Safety Precautions:
• Read this User's Manual carefully, and follow the correct procedure when setting up the device.
• Do not look inside or place your hand over the open DVD/CD media tray. Never look directly or indirectly (with a mirror)
at the laser diode, even when the device is not in operation. If you expose your eyes or skin to the laser inside you drive, you
risk damage or loss of your vision or other personal injury.
• Do not open your 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 drive contains no user-serviceable parts. If it
appears to be malfunctioning, have it inspected by qualified LaCie service staff.
• Never expose your device to rain or use it near water or in damp or wet conditions. Never place containers on it
containing liquids that 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 drive are electrically grounded. If the devices are not grounded, there is an increased risk
of electrical shock.
• Do not listen to audio with headphones at an excessive volume for prolonged periods of time. Doing so increases the risk of
hearing damage or loss.
• Before listening to music with your drive, set the volume control to minimum. Sudden bursts of sound at loud volumes can
cause immediate hearing damage or loss.
Precautions

FireWire
General Use Precautions:
• Do not expose the drive to temperatures outside the range of 5° C to 40° C (41° F to 104° F) during operation. Doing so
may damage the drive or disfigure its casing. Avoid placing your drive near a source of heat or exposing it to sunlight (even
through a window). Inversely, placing your drive in an environment that is too cold or humid may damage the unit.
• Always unplug the drive if there is a risk of lightning or if it will not be used for an extended period of time. Otherwise,
there is an increased risk of electrical shock, short-circuiting or fire.
• Do not place heavy objects on top of the drive or use excessive force on its buttons, connectors and tray. Doing so increases
the risk of damage to the device.
• Always place your drive in a horizontal position before using it. Otherwise, it may fall, causing damage to the device and
/ or corruption or loss of data.
• Always remove the disc from the disc tray before transporting your drive. Otherwise, written data may be destroyed or the
drive's internal components may be damaged.
• Never use excessive force on the disc loading system; discs should be inserted effortlessly into your drive. If you detect a
problem, consult the Troubleshooting section.
• Protect your 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 drive. Such products will
disfigure and discolor the front panel and casing. Instead, use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the device.

Step 2.2 –
Connect the power supply and switch on the drive.
There are two cables that are supplied with the power supply: one cable (A) connects to a power outlet, such as a wall outlet
or a surge protector; and the other cable (B) connects to the LaCie drive.
1) Connect Cable A to your LaCie Drive.
2) Connect Cable B to the Power Supply brick.
3) Connect Cable B to a grounded surge protector or wall outlet.
4) Turn the drive on and off by using the On/Off switch.
Warning! Use only the AC adapter supplied with your specific LaCie drive. Do not use a power supply from another
LaCie drive or another manufacturer. Using any other power cable or power supply may cause damage to the device
and void your warranty. Always remove the AC adapter before transporting your LaCie drive. Failure to remove the
adapter may result in damage to your drive and will void your warranty.
Important Note: You may use your LaCie drive when in a foreign country, thanks to its autoswitching 100-240 Volt
power supply. To be able to use this feature, you may need to purchase an appropriate adapter or cord. Consult
LaCie Technical Support for assistance in choosing the right adapter. LaCie accepts no responsibility for any damage
to the drive resulting from the use of an inappropriate adapter. Using an adapter other than one authorized by LaCie
will void your warranty.
