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 power cord can be

easily unplugged.

■

Power cords should be placed to avoid abrasions, cuts, fraying, crimping, and kinking. Do not

place objects on top of power cords and do not allow the AC adapter or power cords to be

stepped on or run over. Be particularly careful to keep all power cords straight at the ends and

at the points where they enter and leave the AC adapter.

■

Use only the AC adapter model A291B/E 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 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 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, power cord, scanner, or

scanner option 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.
