Important Safety Precautions
Always follow these basic safety precautions when using your
scanner. This will reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, and injury.
Important: Do not expose this product to rain or moisture.
Caution: To avoid risk of electric shock, do not disassemble this
unit. There are no user-serviceable parts inside. Refer all
servicing to qualified personnel
Ventilation: The device should be situated so that its location or
position does not interfere with its proper ventilation. For example,
the unit should not be situated on a bed, sofa, rug, or similar
surfaces that may block the ventilation openings.
Heat: The device should be situated away from sources of high
heat such as radiators or stoves.
USB power source: The device should be connected to a USB
power supply from a connected computer with USB 2.0 compliant
connection.
Cleaning: We strongly suggest using a clean, dry, non-alcohol
cotton swab or the included cleaning brush to insert into the
scanner slot from the right side and clean the glass surface
periodically to produce a clear image.
Non-use: The USB cable should be unplugged from the computer
when the unit is left unused for a long period of time.
USB overloading: Do not overload the USB connections on your
computer. If you have other devices connected to your computer
such as a wireless mouse, MP3 player, mobile phone, or other
USB powered devices. If too many devices are connected to the
computer, there may be inadequate power for the scanner to
operate properly.
Servicing: The user should not attempt to service the device
beyond those means described in the operating instructions. All
other servicing should be referred to qualified service personnel.
Negative Trays: In some cases, the holes on the negatives will
not match exactly to alignment of the tray. This is caused by a
non-standard camera. In this case, there will be a small black line
on the edge of the image that can easily be cropped out using the
included PhotoImpression software.
