Before You Start - Microtek ScanMaker 3700 Supplementary Manual

Before You Start

In order to prevent any short-circuiting of the electronic chips on the scanners
motherboard, it is very important that you ground yourself by simply touching the
metal part or parts of your PC.
Make sure that the area you touch on your PC is bare metal and not coated with paint or
plastic. This will allow for any static electricity to discharge form your body.
Note: Make sure that the scanner power cable is disconnected from the back of
the scanner at this point.
Removing the Scanner Lid
Removing the scanner lid is probably the easiest part of these instructions. Simply open
the scanner lid to a 90-degree angle and lift upward to remove the lid. (See illustration
below.)
Removing the Scanner Upper Outer Housing
Most of our scanner models have two phillips head screws holding down the
upper housing.
