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 power cord 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.
Caution:|
Be sure the power cord meets the relevant local safety standards.
|
The power cord should be placed to avoid abrasions, cuts, fraying, crimping, and kinking. Do not place objects on top of the adapter cord and do not allow the cord to be stepped on or run over.
Use only the power cord that comes with your scanner. Using any other power cord could cause fire, electrical shock, or injury.
The power cord 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 scanner’s label.
When connecting this product 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 wall outlet does not exceed the wall outlet’s ampere rating.
Never disassemble, modify, or attempt to repair the scanner or scanner option 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.
If damage occurs to the plug, replace the cord set or consult a qualified electrician. If there are fuses in the plug, make sure you replace them with fuses of the correct size and rating.
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 been 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.)
Unplug the scanner before cleaning. Clean with a damp cloth only. Do not use liquid or aerosol cleaners.
If you are not going to use the scanner for a long period, be sure to unplug the power cord from the electrical outlet.

The cords included with this product contain chemicals, including lead, known to the State of California to cause birth defects or other reproductive harm. Wash hands after handling. (provided in accordance with Proposition 65 in Cal. Health & Safety Code § 25249.5 et seq)
