Safety precautions
Do not immerse the device (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.
Do not use device in a wet location. Do not
connect/disconnect a power plug/cord with wet
hands.
Keep the device (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

8
Do not disassemble, modify, tamper with, or repair
your device and/or the internal battery. Disassembly or
modification of the device and/or battery may damage
the protection circuit. This may cause the battery to
generate heat, smoke, catch fire, or explode.
Do not leave parts such as plastic covers, battery,
and electrical plug within the reach of children and
pets. Misuse of the part including, without limitation,
accidental swallowing the part may cause choking
and suffocation resulting in death or serious injury. If
you suspect a part has been swallowed, immediately
take appropriate emergency action and consult a
doctor.
Stop charging if the charging process cannot be finished.
If the battery can not 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 device 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
device’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 device is leaking or its case is cracked, put on
protective gloves to handle it.

9
Only operate the device and/or charge the battery in
temperatures between 5 to 35º C (41 to 95º F).
Operating and/or charging the device outside of this
temperature range may result in the loss of data or
damage to the drive. Charging the device 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.
Additional 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.
Service Provider
Disconnect device from the electrical outlet and
take device to an authorized Toshiba service
provider if:
❖AC adapter or power cable/cord is damaged.
❖Liquid has spilled into device or an object (such

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.
NOTE

10
❖Always use power cables/cords and power
sources that comply with the voltage and
frequency specifications and requirements of the
country of use.
❖Be careful if you use a multiple connector as an
overload of one socket could 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
inserted into the socket, to ensure a secure
electrical connection.
❖Always make sure the drive and AC adapter have
adequate ventilation and are protected from
overheating when the AC adapter is connected to
a power outlet. Do not cover the drive during
operation. Inadequate ventilation may cause the
drive and AC adapter 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.
❖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 possible
injury.

11
❖Do not disconnect the USB cable or the AC
adapter 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 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.
