Important Safety Notes

Follow the normal safety precautions for all of fice equipment.
• Please read all instructions before you attempt to op er ate the
system. Save these in struc tions for future use.
• Use only Pitney Bowes-approved supplies, in particular aerosol
dusters. Improper storage and use of aerosol dusters or flam-
mable aerosol dusters can cause an explosive-like condition that
could result in personal injury and/or property damage. Never
use aerosol dusters labeled flammable and always read instruc-
tions and safety precautions on the duster label.
• Use the power cord supplied with the ma chine and plug it into
a properly ground ed wall outlet that's lo cat ed near the machine
and easily accessible. Failure to properly ground the machine
can result in se vere per son al injury and/or fire.
• The power cord wall plug is the primary means of dis con nect ing
the machine from the AC supply. The unit is on whenever it is
plugged into a live re cep ta cle, even though the operator display
may be blank.
• Place the mailing machine base close to an easily ac ces si ble
wall out let. DO NOT use a wall outlet con trolled by a wall switch
or one that is shared with oth er equipment.
• Do not use an adapter plug on the line cord or wall out let.
• Do not remove the ground pin from the line cord.
• Make sure the area in front of the wall outlet into which the ma-
chine is plugged is free from ob struc tion.
• DO NOT route the power cord over sharp edges or trap it be-
tween pieces of fur ni ture. Make sure there is no strain on the
power cord.
• To reduce the risk of fire or electrical shock, DO NOT attempt to
re move covers or disassemble the control panel or its base. The
cab i net encloses hazardous parts. If you should drop or other-
wise dam age the unit, call Pitney Bowes.
• Use only Pitney Bowes approved ink, tape strips, and clean-
ers. To obtain Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) for OSHA
