    Avoid using the scanner in areas where there is a high level of dust. Electrical Requirements The Flextight 848 power supply requires a mains voltage of between 100 and 240 V AC at a frequency of 50 to 60 Hz. This is within the normal wall-socket power standards of most countries.

    IMPORTANT: Make sure that the wall socket you are planning to use meets the electrical requirements outlined earlier. Plug the Flextight 848 power supply into a wall socket. Note that the power supply may emit a low buzzing sound when plugged in. This is normal and will not damage the power supply or scanner.
