Precautions for Use Observe the following precautions to ensure that the scanner always produces the best possible results. Check the status LED • Do not turn the scanner off or insert or remove film or adapters while the status LED is blinking. • Do not use other USB devices or turn them on or off while the status LED is blinking. • Do not connect or disconnect USB or IEEE 1394 (Firewire) cables while the status LED is blinking. • Do not operate camera control software for digital cameras connected via USB while the status LED is blinking. When the scanner is not in use • To prevent accumulation of dirt and dust when the device is not in use, turn the scanner off and insert one of the supplied adapters in the adapter slot. • Remove optional holders from the adapter slot when not in use. Connecting the scanner • Connect the scanner directly to the computer. The scanner may not function as expected when connected to a USB hub or keyboard. • The scanner may not function as expected when used together with other USB devices. Should the scanner not function as expected, use the scanner with all other USB devices disconnected. • Do not connect two or more scanners to the computer simultaneously. Protecting film • Before inserting film, remove dirt and dust with a blower. This will not only keep the film free of scratches but will also help prevent scanning errors and malfunctions. • Remove fingerprints with a soft, dry cloth, being careful not to scratch the film. • Remove film from adapters or holders after scanning. Storing film in an adapter or holder could dam- age the film. • The film base and emulsion will deteriorate if exposed to high temperatures or humidity. Be sure tem- perature and humidity are within the limits given below. • Sudden changes in temperature and humidity, even when within the limits stated below, can cause condensation on the film. Check before use to ensure that no condensation is present. If condensation has occurred, leave the film out until it dries. Condensation can damage the film during insertion. • The operating environment for the scanner is as follows: Temperature: +10 - +35 °C (+50 - +95 °F) Humidity: 20 - 60% 5
