Instructions Before Use

• In order to ensure data transmission efficiency, it is recommended to use a router or switch with 10-Gigabit LAN ports or higher and to connect the NAS using the included Ethernet cable (CAT7 or higher).
• It is recommended to use new hard drives. When installing ANY drive(s), the NAS system will format the drive, erasing ALL existing data. Ensure any important data is backed up prior to installation.
• Please only use the original power cable, or a safety-certified power cable, that meets the power specifications for this device.
• Do not insert or remove hard drives when NAS device is on. If necessary, please turn off the device first by using the app to prevent potential file loss, data corruption, or drive damage.
• ONLY update firmware with a stable power supply. Do NOT disconnect the power supply during the update process.
• After unbinding the device, all data will be removed and can NOT be retrieved. Ensure data is backed up appropriately before unbinding the device.

Firstly, the administrator enables the UGREENlink online service, then logs in to the "UGREEN NAS", enters "Control Panel" > "User Management" > "Invite" to enable the invitation settings, and copies the invitation link to the invited users. When invited users open the link, enter the account information, then they can apply to access the device.

• 20. Example information on symptoms from battery ingestion: No obvious symptoms. Unfortunately, it is not obvious when a button or coin battery is stuck in a child's oesophagus (food pipe). There are no specific symptoms associated with this. The child might: cough, gag or drool a lot; appear to have a stomach upset or a virus; be sick; point to their throat or stomach; have a pain in their abdomen, chest or throat; be tired or lethargic; be quieter or more clingy than usual or otherwise "not themselves"; lose their appetite or have a reduced appetite; and not want to eat solid food/be unable to eat solid food. These sorts of symptoms vary or fluctuate, with the pain increasing and then subsiding. A specific symptom to button and coin battery ingestion is vomiting fresh (bright red) blood. If the child does this seek immediate medical help. The lack of clear symptoms is why it is important to be vigilant with "flat" or spare button or coin batteries in the home and the products that contain them.
