2 Important Safety Instructions
Important Safety Instructions
Read all 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, near excessive dirt or dust, water,
or 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.
■ When connecting the scanner to a computer or other device with a cable, ensure the correct
orientation of the connectors. Each connector has only one correct orientation. Inserting a
connector in the wrong orientation may damage both devices connected by the cable.
■ Place the scanner and the AC adapter near an electrical outlet where the adapter can be easily
unplugged.
■ The AC power cord should be placed to avoid abrasions, cuts, fraying, crimping, and
kinking. Do not place objects on top of the AC power cord and do not allow the AC adapter
or power cord to be stepped on or run over. Be particularly careful to keep all power cords
straight at the ends and the points where they enter the AC adapter.
■ Use only the AC adapter that comes 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 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 electrical outlet does not exceed
the electrical outlet’s ampere rating. Do not place multiple loads on the electrical outlet.
■ Never disassemble, modify, or attempt to repair the AC adapter or scanner by yourself.
■ Do not insert objects into any opening, as they may touch dangerous voltage points or short
out parts. Beware of electrical shock hazards.
■ Unplug the scanner and the AC adapter before cleaning. Clean with a damp cloth only. Do
not use liquid or aerosol cleaners. Do not apply any liquid directly on the scanner glass.
■ Unplug the scanner and the AC adapter, and refer servicing to qualified service personnel
under the following conditions: The AC adapter or plug is damaged; liquid has entered the
scanner or the AC adapter; the scanner or the AC adapter has been dropped or the case
