Important Safety Instructions

Read all these instructions and save them for later reference. Follow all warnings and instructions
marked on the scanner.
Caution: Be sure the power cord meets the relevant local safety standards.
■
Place the scanner close enough to the computer for the interface cable to reach it easily. Do not
place or store the scanner or the power cord outdoors, near excessive dirt or dust, water, or heat
sources, or in locations subject to shocks, vibrations, high temperature or humidity, direct
sunlight, strong light sources, or rapid changes in temperature or humidity. Do not use with
wet hands.
■ When connecting the scanner to a computer or other device with a cable, ensure the correct
orientation of the connectors. Each connector has only one correct orientation. Inserting a
connector in the wrong orientation may damage both devices connected by the cable.
■
Place the scanner near an electrical outlet where the power cord can be easily unplugged.
■
Power cords should be placed to avoid abrasions, cuts, fraying, crimping, and kinking. Do not
place objects on top of power cords and do not allow them to be stepped on or run over. Be
particularly careful to keep all power cords straight at the ends.
■ Use only the power cord that comes with your scanner. Using any other power cord could
cause fire, electrical shock, or injury.
■
The power cord is designed for use with the scanner with which it was included. Do not
attempt to use it with other electronic devices unless specified.
■
Use only the type of power source indicated on the scanner's label, and always supply power
directly from a standard domestic electrical outlet.
■
Avoid using outlets on the same circuit as photocopiers or air control systems that regularly
switch on and off.
■
If you use an extension cord with the scanner, make sure the total ampere rating of the devices
plugged into the extension cord does not exceed the cord's ampere rating. Also, make sure the
total ampere rating of all devices plugged into the electrical outlet does not exceed the electrical
outlet's ampere rating. Do not place multiple loads on the electrical outlet.
■ Never disassemble, modify, or attempt to repair the scanner or scanner option by yourself.
■
Do not insert objects into any opening, as they may touch dangerous voltage points or short
out parts. Beware of electrical shock hazards.
■
If damage occurs to the plug, replace the cord set or consult a qualified electrician. If there are
fuses in the plug, make sure you replace them with fuses of the correct size and rating.
■ Unplug the scanner before cleaning. Clean with a damp cloth only. Do not use liquid or
aerosol cleaners. Do not apply any liquid directly on the scanner glass.
