Important Safety Instructions

Read all of these instructions and save them for later reference. Follow all warnings and instructions
marked on the scanner.
Caution: Be sure the AC 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 AC adapter outdoors, on an unstable surface, near excessive
dirt or dust, water, 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.
■
Place the scanner and the AC adapter near an electrical outlet where the power cord can be
easily unplugged.
■ Allow space behind the scanner for the cables, and space above the scanner so that you can raise
the document cover fully.
■
Power supply cords should be placed to avoid abrasions, cuts, fraying, crimping and kinking.
Do not place objects on top of the power cord or allow the AC adapter or power cord to be
stepped on or run over. Be particularly careful to keep all power-supply cords straight at the
ends and the points where they enter and leave the AC adapter.
■ Use only the AC adapter model A221B/E that came with your scanner. Using any other
adapter could cause fire, electrical shock, or injury.
■
The AC adapter 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 AC adapter's label, and always supply
power directly from a standard domestic electrical outlet with the AC power cord that meets
the relevant local safety standards.
■
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 wall outlet does not exceed the wall outlet's
ampere rating. Do not place multiple loads on the electrical outlet.
■
Never disassemble, modify, or attempt to repair the AC adapter, scanner, film adapter, or
power cord.
■
Do not insert objects into any opening as they may touch dangerous voltage points or short out
parts. Beware of electrical shock hazards.
