Provides important information.

Battery safety precautions

Do not immerse the drive (with the internal battery in

it) in liquid such as water, beverages, or other fluids.

The battery (including protection circuit) may catch

on fire, smoke, explode, or cause heat generation by

unexpected electrical load.

Keep the drive (with the internal battery in it) away from

heat and fire. Heat will damage the battery and may

cause it to generate heat, smoke, catch fire, or

explode.

NOTE

Do not disassemble the drive and the internal battery.

Disassembly or modification of the battery may

damage the protection circuit. This may cause the

battery to generate heat, smoke, catch fire, or

explode.

Keep the product away from small children. If the

product is broken or has cracks, keep the battery and

any of its component parts away from small children.

If the battery liquid or any of its component parts are

swallowed, seek medical attention immediately.

Stop charging if the charging process cannot be finished.

If the battery cannot finish the charging process

within the specified time, halt the charging process.

The battery may generate heat, smoke, catch fire, or

explode.

Discard this device in accordance with applicable

laws and regulations. For disposal, reuse or recycling

information, please contact your local government.

Always immediately turn the power off and

disconnect the power cable/cord plug from the plug

socket and stop using the battery if you observe any

of the following conditions: Offensive or unusual

odor/Excessive heat/Discoloration/Deformation,

crack, or leaks/Smoke/Other unusual event during

use, such as abnormal sound. Do not turn on the

drive’s power again. Continued use could cause a fire

or rupture possibly resulting in serious injury or drive

failure including but not limited to the loss of data.

If the drive is leaking or its case is cracked, put on

protective gloves to handle it.

Only charge the battery in temperatures between

5 to 35º C (41 to 95º F). Charging outside of this

temperature range may cause the battery to leak,

generate heat, or result in serious damage. It may also

cause the battery's performance and life to deteriorate.

Actual battery life may vary depending on settings,

application usage, features or tasks selected, network

configuration, operating temperature and many other

factors. Recharge time varies depending on usage. The

battery may not charge while the drive is consuming full

power. After a period of time, the battery will lose its

ability to perform at maximum capacity. This is normal for

all batteries.

Power and other Safety Precautions

Failure to observe any of the following instructions may result in risk

of fire, electric shock, serious bodily injury and/or damage to your

device.

Always use power cables/cords and power sources that comply with

the voltage and frequency specifications and requirements of the

country of use.

❖ Do not leave parts such as plastic covers and

ele

ctrical plug within the reach of children an

ets. Misuse of the part including, withou

limitation, accidental

swallowing the part ma

use choking and suffocation resu

lting in death

serious injury. If you suspect a part

has been

swa

llowed, immediately take appropriate

emergency action and consult a doctor.

❖ Do not disassemble, modify, tamper with or

repair your device as it may cause personal injury

or may result in electric shock or fire.

Water and moisture

❖ Do not use device in a wet location. Do no

connect/disconnect a power plug/cord with wet

hands.

Service Provider

Disconnect device from the electrical outlet and take

device to an authorized Toshiba service provider if:

❖ AC adaptor or power cable/cord are damaged.

❖ Liquid has spilled into device or

an object (such

a screw, staple or paper clip) has entere

device.

❖ Device has been dropped, subject to shock or

impact and/or damaged in some way.

❖ Noticeable signs of overheating, smoke,

deformation, cracks, leaks or unusual odor occur.

❖ Service is needed on component inside

compartments requiring opening or removal of

covers.

Failure to do so may result in risk of fire, electric shock,

serious bodily injury and/or damage to your device.

❖ Do not plug the AC adaptor into a power source

that does not correspond to the voltage, current

and the frequency specified on the regulator

labe

l of the unit. An overload on the socket and/

or AC adaptor may cause a fire or electric shock,

possibly resulting in serious injury.

❖ Always confirm that the power plug (and

extension cable plug if used) has been fully

serted into the socket, to ensure a secure

electrical connection. Failure to do so may result

in a fire or electric shock, possibly resulting

serious

injury.

❖ Be careful if you use a multiple connector. An

overload on one socket could cause a fire or

electric shock, possibly resulting in serious injury.

❖ Always make sure the drive and AC adaptor have

adequate ventilation and are protected from

overheating when the AC adaptor is connected to

a power outlet. Inadequate ventilation may cause

the drive and AC adaptor to overheat resulting in

a fire or electric shock and serious injury.

❖ If dust gets on the power plug connectors or

connector base, turn the power off and

disconnect the power plug. Then clean the

connector and/or connector base with a dry soft

cloth. Failure to do so may cause a fire or electric

shock, possibly resulting in serious injury.

❖ Avoid extended contact between the drive and

your skin. The drive may become hot! Avoid

prolonged contact to prevent skin irritation and/or

heat injury.

❖ Never pull on a power cord/cable to remove a

plug from a socket. Always grasp the plug

directly.

❖ Do not place the drive on a shaky table, uneven,

tilted surface or other unstable location. The drive

may fall, causing damage to the drive or possibly

injury.

❖ Do not disconnect the USB cable and AC

adaptor while operating, as it may result in loss of

data or damage to the drive.

❖ Do not touch the USB cable and AC adaptor

while operating, as it may result in loss of data or

damage to the drive.

❖ Do not bump, drop or jar the drive, as it may

result in loss of data or damage to the drive.

❖ Do not use the drive at high or low temperatures

or sudden temperature changes. This may result

in loss of data or damage to the drive. (Operating:

5° C-35° C).

❖ Do not cover the drive during operation, as it may

become overheated.

Do not use the drive during a thunderstorm. If you see

lightning or hear thunder, immediately turn off the devices

to which this drive is connected, computer and

peripherals, and disconnect the power cord from the

outlet, and disconnect the USB cable from the computer.

An electric surge caused by the lightning may result in

loss of data or damage to the drive.

❖ Compatibility may vary depending on user's

hardware configuration and operating system.

❖ USB 3.0 is backward compatible with USB 2.0.

❖ If the drive is not provided enough power, th

drive

does not operate.

❖ You may need a USB 3.0 Express Card Ho

Controller for your computer if the computer does

not have a USB 3.0 port. You also can connec

he drive to a USB 2.0 port on your computer.

❖ However the transfer ra

te will be downgraded

to t

hat of USB 2.0.

❖ One Gigabyte (1GB) means 10

= 1,000,000,000

byt

es and one Terabyte (1TB) means 10

1,000,000,000,000 bytes using power of 10. A

mputer operating system, however, report

orage capacity using powers of 2 for th

finition of 1GB = 2

= 1,073,741,824 bytes and

B = 2

= 1,099,511,627,776 bytes, and

therefore shows less storage capacity. Available

storage capacity (including examples of variou

media files) w

ill vary based on file si

ze,

ormatting, setting, software and operating

system as well as other factors.

❖ Use only the accessories supplied by th

manufacturer.

❖ This drive needs the power supply from the
