Precautions

For Your Safety

To prevent severe injury and loss of life, read this section carefully before using the Panasonic DP-1520P/1820P/1820E to ensure proper and safe operation of your machine.

■ This section explains the graphic symbols used in this Operating Instructions manual.

WARNING:

Denotes a potential hazard that could result in serious injury or death.

CAUTION:

Denotes hazards that could result in minor injury or damage to the machine.

■ This section also explains the graphic symbols used in this Operating Instructions manual.

These symbols are used to alert operators to a specific operating procedure that must not be performed.

These symbols are used to alert operators to a specific operating procedure that must be emphasized in order to operate the machine safely.

Installation and Relocation Cautions

CAUTION

Do not place the machine near heaters or volatile, flammable, or combustible materials such as curtains that may catch fire.

Do not place the machine in a hot, humid, dusty or poorly ventilated environment.

Prolonged exposure to these adverse conditions can cause fire or electric shocks.

Place the machine on a level and sturdy surface that can withstand a weight of 97 lb (44 kg). If tilted, the machine may tip-over and cause injuries.

When relocating the machine, contact your Service Provider.

When moving the machine, be sure to unplug the power cord from the outlet. If the machine is moved with the power cord attached, it can cause damage to the cord which could result in fire or electric shock.

Power and Ground Connection Cautions

WARNING

Ensure that the plug connection is free of dust. In a damp environment, a contaminated connector can draw a significant amount of current that can generate heat and eventually cause fire over an extended period of time.

Always use the power cord provided with your machine. When an extension power cord is required, always use a properly rated cord.

●120 V/15 A

If you use a cord with an unspecified current rating, the machine or plug may emit smoke or become hot to the touch externally.

Do not attempt to rework, pull, bend, chafe or otherwise damage the power cord. Do not place a heavy object on the cord. A damaged cord can cause fire or electric shocks.

4

Never touch a power cord with wet hands. Danger of electric shock exists.

If the power cord is broken or insulated wires are exposed, contact your Service Provider for a replacement. Using a damaged cord can cause fire or electric shocks.

Stop operation immediately if your machine produces smoke, excessive heat, unusual noise, or smell, or if water is spilt onto the machine. These conditions can cause fire. Immediately switch Off and unplug the machine, and contact your Service Provider.

Do not disconnect or reconnect the machine while it is on. Disconnecting a live connector can deform the plug and cause fire.

When disconnecting the machine, grasp the plug instead of the cord. Forcibly pulling on a cord can damage it and cause fire or electric shock.

When the machine is not used over an extended period of time, switch it Off and unplug it. If an unused machine is left connected to a power source for a long period, degraded insulation can cause electric shocks, current leakage or fire.

Be sure to switch Off and unplug the machine before accessing the interior of the machine for cleaning, maintenance or fault clearance. Access to a live machine’s interior can cause electric shock.

Be sure to switch Off and unplug the machine before accessing the interior of the machine for accessing interface cables, maintenance or fault clearance. Access to a live machine’s interior can cause electric shock.

Once a month, unplug the machine and check the power cord for the following. If you notice any unusual condition, contact your Service Provider.

●The power cord is plugged firmly into the receptacle.

●The plug is not excessively heated, rusted, or bent.

●The plug and receptacle are free of dust.

●The cord is not cracked or frayed.

Others

■The machine has a built-in circuit for protection against lightning-induced surge current. If lightning strikes in your neighborhood, switch Off the machine. Disconnect the power cord from the machine and reconnect only when the lightning has stopped.

■If you notice flickering or distorted images or noises on your audio-visual units, your machine may be causing radio interference. Switch it Off and if the interference disappears, the machine is the cause of the radio interference. Perform the following procedure until the interference is corrected.

●Move the machine and the TV and/or radio away from each other.

●Reposition or reorient the machine and the TV and/or radio.

●Unplug the machine, TV and/or radio, and replug them into outlets that operate on different circuits.

●Reorient the TV and/or radio antennas and cables until the interference stops. For an outdoor antenna, ask your local electrician for support.

●Use a coaxial cable antenna.

Operating Safeguards

WARNING

Do not touch areas where these caution labels are attached to, the surface may be very hot and may cause severe burns.

Do not place any liquid container such as a vase or coffee cup on the machine. Spilt water can cause fire or shock hazard.

Do not place any metal parts such as staples or clips on the machine. If metal and flammable parts get into the machine, they can short-circuit internal components, and cause fire or electric shocks.

If debris (metal or liquid) gets into the machine, switch Off and unplug the machine. Contact your Service Provider. Operating a debris-contaminated machine can cause fire or electric shock.

Never open or remove machine covers that are secured with screws unless specifically instructed in the “Operating Instructions”. A high-voltage component can cause electric shocks.

Do not try to alter the machine configuration or modify any parts. An unauthorized modification can

cause smoke or fire.	5

Precautions

CAUTION

Do not place a magnet near the safety switch of the machine. A magnet can activate the machine accidentally, resulting in injuries.

Do not use a highly flammable spray or solvent near the machine. It can cause fire.

When copying a thick document, do not use excessive force to press it against the document glass. The glass may break and cause injuries.

Never touch a labelled area found on or near the heat roller. You can get burnt. If a sheet of paper is wrapped around the heat roller, do not try to remove it yourself to avoid injuries or burns. Switch Off the machine immediately, and contact your Service Provider.

Do not use conductive paper, e.g. folding paper, carbonic paper and coated paper. When a paper jam occurs, they can cause a short circuit and fire.

Do not place any heavy object on the machine. An off-balance machine can tip-over or the heavy object can fall, causing damage and/or injuries.

Keep the room ventilated when using the machine for an extended period of time to minimize the ozone density in the air.

When copying with the document cover open, do not look directly at the exposure lamp.

Direct eye exposure can cause eye fatigue or damage.

Pull out paper trays slowly to prevent injuries.

When removing jammed paper, make sure that no pieces of torn paper are left in the machine. A piece of paper remaining in the machine can cause fire. If a sheet of paper is wrapped around the heat roller, or when clearing a jammed paper that is difficult or impossible to see, do not try to remove it by yourself. Doing so can cause injuries or burns. Switch Off the machine immediately, and contact your Service Provider.

Others

■When clearing a paper jam or other fault, follow the appropriate procedure given in the Operating Instructions.

Consumable Safeguards

WARNING

Never throw a toner cartridge into an open flame. Toner remaining in the cartridge can cause an explosion and you can get burnt.

Never throw toner or a waste toner container or a toner cartridge into an open flame. It can cause an explosion and you can get burnt.

Keep button batteries out of the reach of children. If a button battery is swallowed accidentally, get medical treatment immediately.

CAUTION

Never heat the drum cartridge, or scratch its surface. A heated or scratched drum can be hazardous to your health.

Do not mix new and old batteries together. Otherwise, batteries can burst or leak, causing fire or injuries.

Be sure to use the specified type of batteries only.

Ensure that batteries are installed with correct polarity. Incorrectly installed batteries can burst or leak, resulting in spillage or injuries.

For Your Safety

■The maximum power consumption is 1.3 kW.

A properly wired (grounded), dedicated, 15A, 120V AC outlet is required. Do not use an extension cord. The power cord on this machine must be used to disconnect the main power.

Please ensure that the machine is installed near a wall outlet and is easily accessible.
