IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTES
• Plug the meter into a properly grounded wall outlet. This reduces the risk of
shock and equipment damage in the event of a short circuit. DO NOT remove the
power cord’s ground pin and DO NOT use a ground adapter.
• The power cord wall plug is the primary means of disconnecting the meter from
the AC supply. The meter is on whenever it is plugged into a live receptacle, even
though the key switch and operator display may be off.
• Place the meter close to an easily accessible wall outlet. Avoid using wall outlets
controlled by wall switches or shared by other equipment.
• Make sure the area in front of the wall outlet into which the meter is plugged is
free from obstruction.
• DO NOT route the power cord over sharp edges or trap it between pieces of furniture. Make sure there is no strain on the power cord.
• To reduce the risk of fire or electrical shock, DO NOT attempt to remove covers
or disassemble the meter. The cabinet encloses hazardous parts. If the meter
was dropped or otherwise damaged, report such damage to your Pitney Bowes
Customer Service Representative.
• Keep fingers, long hair, jewelry and loose clothing away from moving parts at all
times.
• Read all instructions before you attempt to operate the meter.
• Use the equipment only for its intended purpose.
• Printhead temperature can reach 103°F (43°C), making it warm to the touch.
• Always follow the specific occupational safety and health standards prescribed
for your workplace.
• Switch the meter OFF when you change the ribbon cassette.
