Precautionary measures
To ensure that your Verbatim Hard Drive functions properly, please take note of the
following precautions. If these are not followed, you may void your warranty and damage
the Verbatim Hard Drive.
• Safely remove the Verbatim Hard Drive via your operating system (the "unplug or
eject hardware" option in the Windows taskbar) before disconnecting the interface
cable. Failing to do so may result in data loss.
• Do not drop the Verbatim Hard Drive or expose it to other kinds of sudden mechanical
shocks as this may result in data loss and damage to the Verbatim Hard Drive.
• Do not use the Verbatim Hard Drive when the ambient temperature is below 10°C or
above 35°C.
• If the Verbatim Hard Drive 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 Verbatim Hard Drive. 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 Verbatim Hard Drive in a dusty environment. Dust inside the enclosure
may damage the internal electronics and result in drive malfunction.
• Opening the Verbatim Hard Drive will void the warranty.
• Since USB 3.0 is backwards compatible with USB 2.0, the Verbatim Hard Drive can
be connected to all USB ports. When connected to a USB 2.0 port, however, the
performance (data transfer rate) of the Verbatim Hard Drive will be much lower than
when the drive is connected to a USB 3.0 port.
If at any point during installing and/or configuring your Verbatim Hard Drive you need
assistance or have questions, please contact the Verbatim Support Center for your
country. See www.verbatim-europe.com/support for details.
