Important Precautions and Safety Information

When using this product, these basic safety precautions should always be followed to reduce risk of fire, electric shock, and injury to persons:

1Read and understand all instructions.

2Use common sense whenever operating electrical appliances.

3Follow all warnings and instructions marked on the product and in the literature accompanying the product.

4If an operating instruction appears to conflict with safety information, heed the safety information. You may have misunderstood the operating instruction. If you cannot resolve the conflict, contact your sales or service representative for assistance.

5Unplug the product from the AC wall socket and/or telephone jack before cleaning. Do not use liquid or aerosol cleaners. Use only a damp cloth for cleaning.

6Do not place the product on an unstable cart, stand, or table. It may fall, causing serious damage.

7Your product should never be placed on, near, or over a radiator, heater, air conditioner, or ventilation duct.

8Do not allow anything to rest on the power. Do not locate your product where the cords will be abused by persons walking on them.

9Do not overload wall outlets and extension cords. This can diminish performance, and may result in the risk of fire or electric shock.

10 Do not allow pets to chew on the AC power, telephone, or PC interface cords.

11 Never push objects of any kind into the product through case or cabinet openings. They may touch dangerous voltage points, creating a risk of fire or shock. Never spill liquid of any kind onto or into the product.

12 Your product may have a heavy cover for optimal pressure on the document for the best scanning and/or faxing (usually the flatbed-type product). In this case, replace the cover after placing document on the scan glass, hold the cover and move it down slowly until it seats on its location.

13 To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not disassemble the product. Take it to a qualified service technician when repair work is required. Opening or removing covers may expose you to dangerous voltages or other risks. Incorrect reassembly could cause electric shock when the unit is subsequently used.

14 Unplug the product from the telephone jack, PC and AC wall outlet, and refer servicing to qualified service personnel under the following conditions:

•When any part of the power cord, plug, or connecting cable is damaged or frayed.

•If liquid has been spilled into the product.

•If the product has been exposed to rain or water.

•If the product does not operate properly after instructions have been followed.

•If the product has been dropped, or the cabinet appears damaged.

•If the product exhibits a sudden and distinct change in performance.

15 Adjust only those controls covered by the operating instructions. Improper adjustment of other controls may result in damage, and may require extensive work by a qualified service technician to restore the product to normal operation.

16 Avoid using this product during a lightning storm. There may be a remote risk of electric shock from lightning. If possible, unplug the AC power and telephone cord for the duration of the lightning storm.
