Safety

User precautions

• Do not install the scanner in a location subject to dust, humidity or steam. This
may cause electrical shock or fire.

• Make sure the electrical power outlet is located within 1.52 meters (5 feet) of
the scanner and is easily accessible.

• Be sure the power adapter is securely plugged into the wall outlet.

• Use only the AC adapter that is supplied with the scanner.

• Leave sufficient space around the power outlet so it can be easily unplugged in
case of an emergency.

• Do not use the scanner if it becomes inordinately hot, has a strange odor, emits
smoke, or makes unfamiliar noises. Immediately stop the scanner and
disconnect the power adapter from the power outlet. Contact Kodak Service.

• Do not disassemble or modify the scanner or the AC power adapter.

• Do not move the scanner with the power adapter and USB cable attached. This
may cause damage to the adapter/cable. Remove the power adapter from the
wall outlet before moving the scanner.

• Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) for chemical products are available on the
Kodak website at: www.kodakalaris.com/go/msds. When accessing the
MSDSs from the website, you will be required to provide the catalog number or
keyword of the consumable you want the Material Safety Data Sheet for. See
the section entitled, “Supplies and consumables” later in this guide for supplies
and catalog numbers.

• Follow Kodak recommended cleaning procedures. Do not use air, liquid or gas
spray cleaners. These cleaners displace dust, dirt and debris to other locations
within the scanner, which may cause the scanner to malfunction.
