Safety and service
Safety notes
Please read through this section carefully. Following all the instructions will guarantee
reliable operation and years of enjoyment from your new flat bed scanner.
Always keep these instructions near your flat bed scanner for easy reference.
Keep these instructions and packaging safe. Use the original packaging in the event
that you need to ship or transport your flat bed scanner.
Operating safety
• Never open the housing of the flat bed scanner! This could lead to an electrical
short-circuit, damage to your flat bed scanner or fire.
• Slots and openings in the flat bed scanner serve for ventilation and prevent
overheating. Do not cover these openings.
• Never insert any objects through the slits and openings into the inside of the flat
bed scanner. Doing so could lead to an electrical short circuit or damage to your
flat bed scanner.
• Do not allow children to play unattended with any electrical appliances. Children
may not always correctly recognize possible safety hazards.
Keep the packing materials, such as foil away from children. The danger of suffocation
could arise in the case of misuse.
This flat bed scanner is intended for personal use only. It is not intended for commercial
use in a heavy industrial environment.
• In the first hours of operation, new devices may emit a typical, unavoidable but
completely harmless smell, which will decline increasingly in the course of time.
We recommend you to ventilate the room regularly, in order to counteract the
formation of the smell. During the development of this product, we have made
sure that the applicable limits are clearly fallen below.

Point of use
• Keep your flat bed scanner and all connected equipment away from moisture,
dust, heat and direct sunlight in order to avoid malfunctions.
• Set up and operate all components on a stable, level and vibration-free surface
to prevent damage to the flat bed scanner.
• Do not subject the device to dripping or spraying water and do not place any
containers, such as vases, filled with water on the device. Fluid seeping into the
device can impair electrical safety.
• Only use in a suitable ambient temperature.
Environment conditions
• The flat bed scanner can be operated at an ambient temperature of 10°C / 40°F
to 40°C / 104°F and a relative humidity of 35% to 80% (not condensing).
• When switched off the flat bed scanner can be stored at temperature from -10° /
14 °F to 60°C/140°F at a relative humidity of 20% to 80% (not condensing).
After transporting your flat bed scanner wait until it has reached the
ambient temperature before putting it into operation. In the event
of major variations in the temperature or humidity, condensation can
form on the inside of the flat bed scanner which can cause an electrical
short-circuit.
5
Electro-magnetic compatibility
• When connecting the flat bed scanner observe the guidelines for electro-
magnetic compatibility (EMC).
• Please use only the AC adapter supplied.
• Maintain a distance of at least 3 feet from sources of high frequency and mag-
netic interference (television sets, loudspeakers, mobile telephones, etc.), in order to avoid malfunctions and data loss.

Connecting
Power supply
• Do not open the power adapter housing. When the hous-
ing is open there is a danger of severe electric shock. It con-
• The power socket must be in the vicinity of the scanner and within reach of the
power adapter cables. DO NOT stretch the power cables tightly to reach a power
socket.
• To disconnect your scanner from the power source remove the power cord from
the power socket.
• Do not cover the power pack, in order to avoid damage because of an impermis-
sible increase in temperature.
• Cease using the power pack if the casing or the lead to the device is damaged.
Replace it with a power pack of the same type.
• Only use the power adaptor provided with this flat bed scanner (HDAD15W101-
125) operating at AC 200-240V~/50 Hz.
• To avoid power consumption when the device is switched off either pull out the
power plug when the device is not used or connect the device to a master-/slave
power bar.
• If using an extension cord, make certain that it meets your local safety require-
ments. If in doubt, consult a qualified electrician.
• To provide additional protection against electric shock, power surges, lightning
strikes, or other electrical damage to your scanner, we recommend the use of a
surge protector.
Observe the following instructions to connect your flat bed scanner properly:
• Route the cable so that no one can step on it or stumble over it.
• To avoid damage to the cable do not place any objects or furniture on the cable.
• Please unlock the scanner before use. When you intend to transport the scanner
lock it again (see page 14).
tains no user-serviceable parts.
