This indication alerts operators to an operation that, if not strictly observed, may result in severe injury or death.

In one of the following situations, immediately turn off the scanner, and disconnect the power cable from the AC outlet. Not doing so may cause a fire or electric shock.

z The scanner is damaged for any reason. z Smoke or heat coming from the scanner is

detected.

z Strange noise or smell is detected. z Foreign objects (water, liquids, small metal

objects, etc.) get inside the scanner.

z Other problems which indicate a scanner

failure are detected. Then, contact your FUJITSU scanner dealer or an authorized FUJITSU scanner service provider.

Never try fixing such problems by yourself. Doing so is dangerous.

Do not take apart or modify the scanner as highvoltage components inside the scanner are dangerous.

PFU assumes no liability to any damage caused by taking apart the scanner, as doing so is not covered under the warranty.

The area around the part to which this warning label is affixed can become very hot.

To avoid burns, never touch around the area indicated by this label.

Firmly insert the power cable into the AC outlet. Not doing so may cause a fire or the scanner to malfunction.

■ For Safe Use

This manual contains general information regarding safety that must be read before using this product (which includes the scanner and all associated software and manuals). For the safe use of this product, make sure to read the following descriptions. Keep this manual in a safe place so that it can be easily referred to when using the scanner. In the following warnings, "power cable" may refer to the AC cable connected to the AC adapter collectively.

Use the scanner only at the indicated power voltage and current. Do not connect to multiple power strips. Improper power voltage or current might cause a fire or electric shock.

Use only the power cable provided with the scanner. Do not use any extension cords. Doing so may cause abnormal heat or a fire. Do not use the power cable provided with the scanner for other devices, since this may cause problems such as an equipment failure, or an electric shock.

Do not install the scanner in the following locations which are subject to high temperature, humidity, less ventilation, or dust. If placed in an area subject to high temperature, the cover may become overheated and deformed, resulting in an electric leakage or fire.

Use the scanner in a well-ventilated environment. z A place near heat-radiating devices such as

stoves or electric heaters, or flammable items

such as volatile inflammable materials or

curtain. z A place such as kitchen where oil smoke may

be formed. z A place such as a bathroom, shower room, or

swimming pool where it may easily get wet. z A place under direct sunlight, in a car under

the scorching sun, or near heating apparatus

where it may get hot.

CAUTION

To avoid injuries, do not place the scanner in an area where small children may be able to reach.

Before moving the scanner, be sure to disconnect the cables that are connected to the scanner, and disconnect the power cable from the AC outlet.

Make sure that the floor is free of any obstructions.

Moving the scanner with the cable connected to the computer may damage the cable, in turn causing fire, electric shock or injuries.

Do not touch the power cable with wet hands. Doing so may cause an electric shock.

When disconnecting the power cable from the AC outlet, make sure to hold the power plug and not the cable.

Pulling the cable may damage it, which may cause a fire or electric shock.

Do not use the power cable if it is damaged. Also, do not insert any cables or power plugs into loose sockets. Doing so may cause a fire or electric shock.

Be careful of the following when handling the power cable:

z Do not moisten, modify, tie, bundle, or wind

the cable.

z Do not place heavy objects on the cable, trap

the cable in a doorway, drop or damage the cable in any other way.

z Do not pull or forcibly bend or twist the cable. z Do not place any metal near to the plug of the

power cable. If the power cable is damaged, contact your FUJITSU scanner dealer or an authorized

FUJITSU scanner service provider. Do not place heavy objects on the scanner or

perform other work on top of the scanner. Doing so might cause injuries or an equipment failure.

Do not use the scanner or AC adapter while it is covered, for example, with a blanket. Doing so may raise the temperature inside and cause a fire.

To avoid injuries, be careful not to get your accessories (e.g. ties, necklaces) or hair caught inside the scanner.

Do not touch the heated section such as the bottom of the scanner or AC adapter for a long time. Doing so may cause a low-temperature burn on your skin.

When the scanner is not going to be used for a long period of time, be sure to disconnect the power cable from the AC outlet. Not doing so may cause a fire or electric shock.

Do not use any aerosol sprays or alcohol based sprays to clean the scanner. Dust blown up by strong air from the spray may enter the inside of the scanner. This may cause the scanner to fail or malfunction. Sparks, caused by static electricity, generated when blowing off dust and dirt from the outside of the scanner may cause a fire.

Check the following items once a month: z The power cable is firmly inserted into the AC

outlet.

z The power cable is not emitting abnormal

heat, or the cable is not rusty or bent.

z Dust is not accumulated on the power cable

(especially the plug). If so, wipe off any dust with a soft, dry cloth.

z The power cable does not have any cracks or

scratches.

If any abnormality is detected, contact your FUJITSU scanner dealer or an authorized FUJITSU scanner service provider.

When installing the scanner on a table, make sure that the work surface is flat and stable, and that none of the scanner's parts extend over the table edge, otherwise it may fall over or be pulled off the table and cause injuries.

Install the scanner away from strong magnetic fields and other sources of electronic noise.

Protect the scanner against any static electricity and choose a static-free place to install the scanner. Static electricity can cause the scanner to malfunction.

If there is an electrical storm, disconnect the power cable from the AC outlet.

Not doing so may destroy the scanner, which may damage your property.

Do not supply the power from the AC outlet where devices requiring high power such as copying machines or paper shredders are connected.

Do not block the ventilation ports. Blocking the ventilation ports generates heat inside of the scanner, which may result in a fire or scanner failure.

Do not use the scanner immediately after moving it from a cold place into a warm room.

Condensation may occur, which might lead to scanning errors. Let the scanner dry for one or two hours before you use it.

When handling documents or the Carrier Sheet, be careful not to cut your fingers with them.

Do not use a damaged Carrier Sheet because it may damage or cause the scanner to malfunction.

When carrying the scanner outside while it is

WARNING

raining or snowing, pay special attention so the

scanner does not get wet.

Replacing Batteries

In order to retain data such as BIOS information, this product has a battery (CMOS RAM battery) on board.

When you perform cleaning, make sure that the

inside of the scanner is free of any foreign

objects, and be careful not to get your hand or

the cloth caught on the pick spring (metal part) as

a deformed pick spring (metal part) may cause

injury.
