Safety Precautions CAUTION • Do not plug the AC adapter and the power cord into outlets with voltages other than the specified voltages. Incorrect voltages may result in fire or electrical shock. • When unplugging the AC adapter and the power cord, always pull on the main body. Pulling on the cord may damage the wires and lead to fire or electrical shock. • Do not place objects around the AC adapter and the power cord in case it needs to be unplugged during emergencies. • Unplug the AC adapter and the power cord from the outlet at least once a year and clean the area around the base of the AC adapter's metal pins to ensure that all dust is removed. If dust accumulates in this area, it may result in fire. General Handling Precautions WARNING • Do not take apart or modify the scanner. Fire or electrical shock may result from improper handling of its components. • If you hear unusual noises, see smoke, feel excessive heat or smell anything unusual, immediately unplug the AC adapter and the power cord. Then contact your retailer or Canon Customer Support Help Desk. Continued use of the scanner may result in fires or electrical shock. • Do not use flammable sprays near the scanner. Also do not spill water, liquids, or flammable liquids on the scanner. If these fluids enter and contact the inner electrical parts, fire or electrical shock may result. • When cleaning the scanner, always unplug the AC adapter and the power cord. Damp a cloth with water and wring the cloth well. Do not use flammable liquids such as alcohol, benzene or thinners. If a flammable liquid enters the inner electrical parts, fire or electrical shock may result. If anything enters the scanner, immediately unplug the AC adapter and the power cord. Then contact your retailer or Canon Customer Support Help Desk. CAUTION • Do not place items that weigh 4.4 lbs. (2.0 kg) or more on the document glass. Also, do not press heavily (i.e., more than 4.4 lbs. (2.0 kg)) on the document cover or the document glass. The document glass may break and cause personal injury. • Do not bump the document glass or drop heavy books or objects on it. The document glass may break and injure you. • When not in use for extended periods, unplug the AC adapter and the power cord for safety. • When transporting the scanner, be extremely careful. Dropping it could cause injury. • Wait until the scanner has cooled before placing a cover over it. Otherwise fire may result. • Do not use the supplied CD-ROM in regular CD players. It produces excessively loud sound that may cause hearing damage. Setup and Operating Conditions • Do not set up in areas where there are excessive fluctuations in temperature. Also do not move the scanner from low-temperature areas to high-temperature areas. Condensation may cause image errors. Leave the scanner enough time to gradually adapt to the new conditions before use. • Do not place the scanner in areas subject to direct sunlight or strong room light. It may cause damage to the scanner or decrease image quality. If you have to place it in direct sunlight, make sure to use a thick curtain to block the light. • Leave enough space (approximately 8 in. (20 cm)) around the scanner when setting up.
