Important Safety Instructions
Read all of these instructions and save them for later reference. Follow all warnings and
instructions marked on the scanner.
■ Place the scanner close enough to the computer for the interface cable to reach it
easily. Do not place or store the scanner 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 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.
■ Unplug the scanner before cleaning. Clean with a damp cloth only. Do not use liquid
or aerosol cleaners.
■ Keep the scanner out of the reach of children.
■ Use only the type of power source indicated on the scanner’s label.
■ Power-supply cords should be protected from abrasion, cuts, crimping, and kinking.
Be sure to place your cords to avoid any damage. Do not place objects on top of the
power cord or allow the power cord to be stepped on or run over. Be particularly
careful to keep all power-supply cords straight at the ends.
■ Connect all equipment to properly grounded power outlets. Avoid using outlets on
the same circuit as photocopiers or air control systems that regularly switch on and
off.
■ Do not let the power cord become damaged or frayed.
■ 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 scanner, integrated TPU, or
power cord.
■ Do not insert objects into any openings as they may touch dangerous voltage points
or short out parts. Beware of electrical shock hazards.
