contain important information and useful tips on the operation of this product.

• Place the scanner close enough to the computer for the interface cable to reach it easily. Do not place or store the scanner outdoors, 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.

• The power-supply cords should be placed to avoid abrasions, cuts, fraying, crimping, and kinking. Do not place objects on top of the power-supply cords and do not allow the power-supply cords to be stepped on or run over. Be particularly careful to keep all the power-supply cords straight at the ends and the points where they enter and leave the transformer.

• Use only the type of power source indicated on the scanner’s label.

• When connecting this 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.

• 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 power cord, scanner, or options by yourself, except as specifically explained in the scanner’s guides.

• 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 refer servicing to qualified service personnel under the following conditions: The power cord or plug is damaged; liquid has entered the scanner; the scanner has been dropped or the case has not damaged; the scanner does not operate normally or exhibits a distinct change in performance. (Do not adjust controls that are not covered by the operating instructions.)

• Allow spaces behind the scanner for the cables, and space above the scanner so that you can fully raise the document cover.

• If you are not going to use the scanner for a long period, be sure to unplug the power cord from the electrical outlet.

• For Hong Kong and Singapore users:
  If damage occurs to the plug, replace the cord set or consult a qualified electrician. Replace fuses only with fuses of the correct size and rating.
