Safety Information

For Your Safety
To prevent severe injury and loss of life, read this section carefully before using the Panasonic DP-C405/C305/C265 to ensure proper and safe operation of your machine.
This section explains the Warnings and Cautions used in this Operating Instructions manual.
WARNING
CAUTION
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.
This symbol is used to alert operators to a heated surface that may cause burns and requires close attention.
Denotes a potential hazard that could result in serious injury, or death.
Denotes hazards that could result in minor injury, or damage to the machine.
WARNING
Power and Ground Connection
Cautions
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 if left unattended 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.
Do not attempt to repair, 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.
Never touch a power cord with wet hands. Danger of electric shock exists.
Stop operation immediately if your machine emits 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 the authorized Panasonic dealer.
Do not disconnect, or reconnect the machine while the power switch is in the On position. Disconnecting a live connector can cause arcing, consequently deforming the plug and cause fire.
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.
6
If the power cord is broken, or insulated wires are exposed, contact the authorized Panasonic dealer for a replacement. Using a damaged cord can cause fire, or electric shocks.
When disconnecting the machine, grasp the plug instead of the cord. Pulling on a cord forcibly can damage it and cause fire, or electric shock.
Once a month, unplug the machine and check the power cord for the following. If you notice any unusual condition, contact the authorized Panasonic dealer.
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.
Operating Safeguards
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 immediately. Contact the authorized Panasonic dealer. 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 high­voltage 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.
Consumable Safeguards
Never dispose of toner, Toner Cartridge or a Toner Waste Container into an open flame. Toner remaining in the cartridge can cause an explosion, burns, and/or injuries. For disposal or recycling information, contact your local authorities, or your local waste officials.
Keep SD Memory Card/button battery/stamp out of the reach of children. If an SD Memory Card/button battery/stamp is swallowed accidentally, get medical treatment immediately. For battery disposal or recycling information, please contact your local authorities or your local waste officials.

Place the machine on a level and sturdy surface that can withstand a weight of the machine. (The machine weight without optional unit : 164 kg / 360.8 lb) If tilted, the machine may tip-over and cause injuries.
When relocating the machine, contact the authorized Panasonic dealer.
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.
Operating Safeguards
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 original, do not use excessive force on the ADF Cover to press the original against the Platen Glass. The glass may break and cause injuries.
CAUTION
Never touch a labeled area. 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 the authorized Panasonic dealer.
Do not use conductive paper, ex: folding paper, carbon paper, and coated paper. When a misfed paper 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 ADF open, do not look directly at the exposure lamp. Direct eye exposure can cause eye fatigue or eye injury.
When removing misfed 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 misfed 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 the authorized Panasonic dealer.
If accessing the inner components of the machine to clear misfed paper, etc., exercise care not to touch heated areas, or you may get burned.
