About Locations

WARNING

• Do not place the equipment near flammable liquids such as alcohol or thinners. If the internal electrical parts come in contact with flammable liquids, fire or electrical shock may result.

• Do not place the following objects on top of the equipment. If the internal electrical parts come in contact with these objects, fire or electrical shock may result.

- metallic objects, such as necklaces

- containers with liquid, such as cups, vases and flower pots

• Do not place the equipment on shaky stands, unstable surfaces or surfaces subject to frequent vibrations. If the equipment falls, it may cause injuries.

• Do not place heavy objects on the equipment. Objects may fall and cause injuries.

About the Power Supply

WARNING

• Do not damage, mutilate or modify the AC adapter. Do not place heavy objects on, pull or excessively bend the cord of the AC adapter. Damaged wires may cause fire or electrical shock.

• Do not plug in/unplug the AC adapter with wet hands. Fire or electrical shock may result.

• Do not connect excessive numbers of plugs into one electrical outlet. Fire or electrical shock may result.

• Do not twist or tie the AC adapter together. Fire or electrical shock may result.

• Always plug the AC adapter in all the way. If it is not plugged in completely, fire or electrical shock may result.

• Do not use AC adapters other than the one supplied. Fire or electrical shock may result.

• As a rule, do not use electrical extension cords. Fire or electrical shock may result. If the use of an extension cord is necessary, do not use one longer than 5 m (15 feet). Make sure that the extension cord is not twisted, and that the AC adapter is fully plugged into the extension cord. Do not use multiple extension cords.

• Do not use extension cords in corridors or other high traffic areas where they can be stepped on or tripped over. This could damage the cords and result in fire or electrical shock.

• Do not use the AC adapter outdoors or in exposed areas.

CAUTION

• Do not plug the equipment into outlets with voltages other than the specified voltages. Incorrect voltages may result in fire or electrical shock.

• When unplugging the AC adapter, 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 in case it needs to be unplugged during emergencies.

• Unplug the AC adapter 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 equipment. 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 contact your retailer or Canon Customer Support Help Desk. Continued use may result in fire or electrical shock.

• Do not use flammable sprays near this equipment. Also do not spill water, liquids, or flammable liquids on the equipment. If these fluids enter this equipment and contact the electrical parts, fire or electrical shock may result. If anything enters the equipment, immediately unplug the AC adapter and contact your retailer or Canon Customer Support Help Desk.

• When cleaning the equipment, always unplug the AC adapter. Otherwise, fire or electrical shock may result.

• When cleaning the equipment, use a water-moistened cloth that is well wrung out. 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.

CAUTION

• Carefully close the document cover in order not to pinch your hands.

• Do not press heavily on the document cover. The document glass may break and injure you.

• When not in use for extended periods, such as long weekends, unplug the AC adapter for safety.

• When transporting the equipment, be extremely careful. Dropping it could cause an injury.

• Wait until the equipment 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.
