Part 1: Introduction

1.3. Warnings and Cautions

see the manual, Understanding R2 ImageChecker.

Warnings: System Operation

• Use the system only outside the patient environment. The system is rated for use
only in an office environment.
• Remove all potentially obstructive jewelry and clothing before loading films in the
processing unit, to minimize the possibility of injury due to moving parts, or
damage to the system.
• The hand-held barcode reader is a Class II laser device that emits laser light. Do
not stare into beam.
• The symbol next to the power connector indicates a potential shock hazard.
Ensure that the system is connected to a power receptacle that is properly
grounded and provides voltage and current within the specifications of the system
to reduce the likelihood of electrical shock or fire hazard.
• There is a small risk of electrostatic discharge (static electricity). It is mostly a
nuisance and not likely to cause harm. However, a shock can cause accidental
injury, if, for example, you suddenly withdraw your arm and hit it against
something. To minimize possibility of shock, maintain greater than 40% relative
humidity in the room where the unit is kept, use shoes with natural-material soles,
place equipment on nonpolymer floors such as concrete, wood, or floors treated
with static dissipative, and/or routinely touch metal with a metal object, such as a
key, to painlessly discharge the charge from your body.
• Do not place liquid containers on the device. In the event of a spill, shut down
power to all components prior to cleaning to minimize the possibility of electrical
shock. Do not operate the device if internal components are exposed to liquid.
Contact your service representative.

Warnings: Maintenance

• Before cleaning the computer, always shut down the system according to the
shutdown procedures in this user manual and disconnect the power cord to
prevent the possibility of electrical shock. Never use alcohol, benzene, thinner, or
other flammable cleaning agents.
• Never use a two-prong plug or extension cord to connect primary power to the
system. Use of a two-prong adapter disconnects the utility ground and creates a
severe shock hazard.
• The R2 scanners are heavy. It is recommended that two people participate when
moving equipment.
