Important  Safety Instructions
Restrictions on  Copying
In this  document,  warnings, cautions,  and notes indicate  the  following:
Warnings
must  be  followed carefully to  avoid bodily injury.
Cautionsmust  be  observed to  avoid damage  to  your equipment.
Notescontain important  information and useful  tips  on  the  operation of this  product.
Read  all  these  instructions, and follow  all  warnings  and instructions  marked  on  the  scanner. 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
AC adapter 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  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, crimping,  and kinking. Do not  place  objects  on  top  of the  AC
power cord and do  not  allow the  AC adapter or  the  AC power cord to  be  stepped on  or  run over. Be particularly  careful  to  keep
both of the  AC power cords straight 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 adapter could cause fire,  electrical shock,  or  injury.
The  AC adapter is designed for use with  the  scanner  with  which it was  included.  Do not  attempt to  use it with  other electronic
devices  unless specified.
Use  only  the  type  of power source  indicated  on  the  product’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 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  AC adapter,  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 the  AC adapter,  and refer servicing to  qualified  service  personnel  under  the  following conditions:  The  AC
adapter or  plug is damaged; liquid  has entered the  scanner  or  the  AC adapter;  the  scanner  or  the  AC adapter has been  dropped
or  the  case  has been  damaged; the  scanner  or  the  AC adapter does  not  operate  normally or  exhibits  a  distinct  change  in
performance.  (Do  not  adjust  controls that  are  not  covered by  the  operating instructions.)
