On handling the hard disk

be easily damaged by mechanical vibration, shock or dust.

shock or dust, you should be careful when handling your computer.

❑ Keep away from magnets.
❑ Do not place your computer in a location subject to mechanical vibration or in unstable situation.
❑ Do not move your computer while the power is on.
❑ Do not turn off the power or restart the computer while reading or writing data.
❑ Do not use your computer in a place subject to extreme change of temperature.
❑ If the hard disk is damaged, the data cannot be restored.
