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:

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.

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.
