Maintenance Caring for the Scanner Storage When the scanner is not in use, replace the MA-21 or SA-21 in the adapter slot and turn the scanner off (be sure to remove any optional film holders from the adapter film slot). If the device will not be used for a prolonged period, unplug the scanner and store it in a wellventilated area where the temperature is between -10 °C (14 °F) and +50 °C (+122 °F) and the humidity less than 60%. Do not store the scanner where it would be subject to sudden temperature changes or condensation. When the Scanner Is Not in Use The MA-21 and SA-21 are equipped with flaps to prevent the accumulation of dust inside the scanner. Be sure one of these adapters is inserted in the scanner when the device is not in use. Accumulation of dust on the optical parts in the vicinity of the adapter slot could result in scanning errors. Should an error occur, remove dust by sending air into the adapter slot with a blower. Do not insert your fingers into the adapter slot. Cleaning Turn the scanner off, unplug the power cable, and place the scanner on a flat, stable surface where it will not be damaged in a fall. Use a blower or a soft dry cloth to remove dust, a soft cloth lightly dampened with neutral detergent or liquid soap to remove tougher stains. Do not use alcohol or other volatile chemicals. Servicing Nikon scanners are precision devices. We recommend that the scanner and adapters be taken to an authorized Nikon service representative once every one to two years for inspection, and once every three to five years for servicing (fees are charged for these services). Frequent inspection and servicing are particularly recommended in the case of scanners used in commercial applications. 52
