Safety Information

DANGER

An electrical outlet that is not correctly wired could place hazardous voltage

on metal parts of the system or the devices that attach to the system. It is the

responsibility of the customer to ensure that the outlet is correctly wired and

grounded to prevent an electrical shock.

Before installing or removing signal cables, ensure that the power cables for

the system unit and all attached devices are unplugged.

When adding or removing any additional devices to or from the system,

ensure that the power cables for those devices are unplugged before the

signal cables are connected. If possible, disconnect all power cables from the

existing system before you add a device.

Use one hand, when possible, to connect or disconnect signal cables to

prevent a possible shock from touching two surfaces with different electrical

potentials.

During an electrical storm, do not connect cables for display stations, printers,

telephones, or station protectors for communication lines.

Handling Static-Sensitive Devices

Attention: Static electricity can damage the device and your system unit. To avoid

damage, keep this device in its anti-static protective bag until you are ready to install it.

To reduce the possibility of electrostatic discharge, follow the precautions listed below:

vLimit your movement. Movement can cause static electricity to build up around you.

vHandle the device carefully, holding it by its edges or its frame.

vDo not touch solder joints, pins, or exposed printed circuitry.

vDo not leave the device where others can handle and possibly damage the device.

vWhile the tape drive is still in its anti-static package, touch it to an unpainted metal

part of the system unit for at least two seconds. (This drains static electricity from the

package and from your body.)

vRemove the device from its package and install it directly into your system unit

without setting it down. If it is necessary to set the device down, place it on its

static-protective package. (If your device is an adapter, place it component-side up.)

Do not place the device on your system unit cover or on a metal table.

vTake additional care when handling devices during cold weather, as heating reduces

indoor humidity and increases static electricity.
