• As a rule, do not use electrical extension cords. They could cause fire or electric shocks. If the use of an extension cord is necessary, do not use one longer than 15 ft. (5 m). Make sure that the extension cord is not twisted, the connection between the
11
power cord and the extension cord is secure and the AC adapter is fully plugged in. Do not use multiple extension cords.
• Do not use extension cords in high traffic areas where they can be stepped on or tripped over, which may damage the cords. Damaged wires could cause fires or electric shocks.
CAUTION

• When unplugging the AC adapter, always pull on the main body of the adapter. Do not pull the AC adapter out by the cord, which may damage the wires and lead to fire or electric shock.
• Do not place objects around the AC adapter in case it needs to be unplugged during emergencies.

General Handling Precautions

WARNING
• Do not take apart or modify the equipment. There are high voltage parts within that could cause fire or electric shocks if exposed.
• 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 fires or electric shocks.
• 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, fires or electric shock may result. If anything enters the equipment, immediately unplug the AC adapter and contact your retailer or Canon Customer Support Help Desk.
