2.2 Electromagnetic emissions

All electronic devices generate free-space radiated electromagnetic emissions
due to the electric or magnetic activity of the device.
These electromagnetic emissions may interfere with other appliances, such as
personal computers or radiofrequency systems, causing loss of data or
downgrading of performance.
This disturbance is known as electromagnetic interference (EMI), while
electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) defines the ability of electronic devices to
operate correctly in the presence of electromagnetic fields, tolerating and
limiting electromagnetic interference.
Although the DACTYSCAN84C device has been designed in full compliance with
current regulations, in particular cases, electromagnetic interference may be
caused mainly by two phenomena: closeness to other appliances and electrical
interference in power lines.
If this happens, the phenomenon can be corrected as follows:

Insulation

Devices characterized by strong radiation of electromagnetic waves must
be kept at reasonable distance from the DACTYSCAN84C device.

Safety Regulations

Radiation

If the DACTYSCAN84C device is close to receivers/transmitters, modify
the direction of the antenna.

Dedicated circuits

Connect the DACTYSCAN84C device on separate power lines from other
devices with high electric noise such as, for example, conditioners.

2.3 Environmental protection (European Union)

This symbol, applied to the product or packaging, indicates that
the product belongs to the category of electric and electronic
equipment.
The product contains potentially hazardous substances for the
environment and health and must never be disposed of together
with ordinary solid waste. In compliance with current legislation
and the WEEE Directive 2002/96/CE, waste electric and

electronic equipment must be managed according to the
procedures established.
The user is responsible for disposal of this product which must be sent to
collection centers specialized in the recycling of electric and electronic
equipment, thus contributing to re-use of equipment that could have
dangerous effects on the environment and on health.
For further information regarding collection and recycling points in your area,
contact the authorities of your city or the Green Bit customer assistance service
or your retailer for information on withdrawal of the device.

7 Maintenance

The DACTYSCAN84C device does not require any particular maintenance.
However, particular attention must be dedicated to cleaning the unit and
surface scanners.

Maintenance



Cleaning must be carried out with the device OFF and
disconnected from the Personal Computer.

7.1 Cleaning of the casing

Clean with a soft cloth moistened with water and dry any excess water.



Do not use solvents, alcohol, ammonia or domestic
cleaning products as they contain substances that
could damage the acquisition surface of the device.

7.2 Cleaning of the scanner

For normal functioning, the acquisition surface of the scanner need not be
perfectly clean as a slight film of dust, grease or moisture is compensated
electronically; it is advisable to clean the acquisition surface of the scanner only
in the case of evident signs of dirt or if highlighted by the diagnostics of the
device.
For routine cleaning of the scanner, use the specific Cleaning Accessories Kit
provided.

WARNING

WARNING

:

:

Proceed as follows:

1. Take a tissue for cleaning the acquisition surface of the scanner.

2. Check the acquisition surface of the scanner for any particles of dust or

other substances that could scratch the acquisition surface during
cleaning. Remove the particles by blowing on the scanner or using the
dry tissue, delicately cleaning the glass surface.

3. Moisten the tissue with the acquisition surface cleaning solution, clean

without rubbing too hard, removing all traces of dust and grease.

4. Dry any excess liquid.
