    ❏Place the scanner close enough to the computer for the interface cable to reach it 
    easily. Do not place or store the scanner or the power cord outdoors, near excessive 
    dirt or dust, water, heat sources, or in locations subject to shocks, vibrations, high 
    temperature or humidity, direct sunlight, strong light sources, or rapid changes in

    ❏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 systems that 
    regularly switch on and off.
    ❏If you use an extension cord with the scanner, make sure the total ampere rating of the 
    devices plugged into the extension cord does not exceed the cord’s ampere rating. 
    Also, make sure the total ampere rating of all devices plugged into the wall outlet does 
    not exceed the wall outlet’s ampere rating.
    ❏Never disassemble, modify, or attempt to repair the scanner or scanner option by 
    yourself except as specifically explained in the scanner’s guides.
    ❏Do not insert objects into any opening as they may touch dangerous voltage points or 
    short out parts. Beware of electrical shock hazards.
    ❏If damage occurs to the plug, replace the cord set or consult a qualified electrician. If 
    there are fuses in the plug, make sure you replace them with fuses of the correct size 
    and rating.
    ❏Unplug the scanner, and refer servicing to qualified service personnel under the 
    following conditions: The power cord or plug is damaged; liquid has entered the 
    scanner; the scanner has been dropped or the case has been damaged; the scanner 
    does not operate normally or exhibits a distinct change in performance. (Do not adjust 
    controls that are not covered by the operating instructions.)
    ❏Unplug the scanner before cleaning. Clean with a damp cloth only. Do not use liquid or 
    aerosol cleaners.
    ❏If you are not going to use the scanner for a long period, be sure to unplug the power 
    cord from the electrical outlet.
