Note:
The On/Off power switch does not disconnect the AC adapter from
the electricity network, but just switches off the drive itself.
We therefore recommend that you disconnect the AC/DC adapter
from the power outlet if the drive may not be used for a while in order
to save energy.
If the drive behaves not as expected or if you have doubts about
the electrical safety, please contact the TOSHIBA hotline or an
