Important Safety Instructions
Restrictions on Copying 
Read all these instructions, and follow all warnings and instructions ma\
rked on the scanner.  In this document, warnings, cautions, and notes indicate the following:
Warnings
must be followed carefully to avoid bodily injury.
Cautions
must be observed to avoid damage to your equipment.
Notes
contain important information and useful tips on the operation of this p\
roduct.
Place the scanner close enough to the computer for the interface cable t\
o reach it easily. Do not place or store 
the scanner or the AC adapter outdoors, near excessive dirt or dust, wat\
er, heat sources, or in locations subject 
to shocks, vibrations, high temperature or humidity, direct sunlight, st\
rong light sources, or rapid changes in 
temperature or humidity. Do not use with wet hands.
Place the scanner and the AC adapter near an electrical outlet where the\
 adapter can be easily unplugged.
Caution:
Be sure the AC power cord meets the relevant local safety standards.
The AC power cord should be placed to avoid abrasions, cuts, fraying, cr\
imping, and kinking. Do not place 
objects on top of the AC power cord and do not allow the AC adapter or t\
he AC power cord to be stepped on or 
run over. Be particularly careful to keep both of the AC power cords str\
aight at the ends and the points where 
they enter the AC adapter.
Use only the AC adapter that comes with your scanner. Using any other ad\
apter could cause fire, electrical 
shock, or injury. 
The AC adapter is designed for use with the scanner with which it was in\
cluded. Do not attempt to use it with 
other electronic devices unless specified.
Use only the type of power source indicated on the scanner’s label.
When connecting this product to a computer or other device with a cable,\
 ensure the correct orientation of the 
connectors. Each connector has only one correct orientation. Inserting a\
 connector in the wrong orientation may 
damage both devices connected by the cable.
Avoid using outlets on the same circuit as photocopiers or air control s\
ystems that regularly switch on and off.
If you use an extension cord with the scanner, make sure the total amper\
e rating of the devices plugged into 
the extension cord does not exceed the cord’s ampere rating. Also, ma\
ke sure the total ampere rating of all 
devices plugged into the wall outlet does not exceed the wall outlet’\
s ampere rating.
