Safety Precautions

Before using your scanner, read the following safety guides carefully, which detail
the proper operation of the scanner and its accessories to prevent injuries or
damage to users or equipment.

Power Source and AC Power Cord:

• Use a power source only with a power rating specified on the marking label.

• Insert the plug completely into the outlet, as a loose connection may cause
arcing and result in fire.

• Place and route the power supply cord such that it is not likely to be walked
on or pinched by items placed upon or against them, paying particular
attention to the cord near the power plugs, convenience receptacles, and at
the point where it exits from the outlet.

• When the scanner is left unattended and unused for long periods of time,
unplug it from the wall outlet.

Moving and Storing the Scanner:

• Always lock the scanner when shipping or moving the scanner. Quick stops,
excessive force, and uneven surfaces may cause the product to overturn
when moving.

• When locking or unlocking the scanner back, do not turn the scanner upside
down.

• Do not place the scanner on any slippery, slanted, or unstable surface. The
product may slide or fall, causing serious injury to people as well as serious
damage to the product.

• Do not use this scanner near water. Never spill liquid of any kinds on the
product, or it may result in electric shock or other hazards.

• This scanner should be situated away from heat sources such as radiators,
heat registers, stoves, or other products (including amplifiers) that produce
heat.

Service:

• When you need a repair service, unplug the scanner from the power outlet
and consult qualified service personnel.

• When replacement parts are required, use replacement parts that are specified
by the manufacturer or have the same characteristics as the original parts.
