marked on the scanner.
c
Caution:
Be sure AC power cord meets the relevant local safety standards.
❏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 power cord can be
easily unplugged.
❏Power-supply cords should be placed to avoid abrasions, cuts, fraying, crimping, and kinking. Do
not place objects on top of power-supply cords and do not allow the AC adapter, or allow
power-supply cords to be stepped on or run over. Be particularly careful to keep all power-supply
cords straight at the ends and the points where they enter and leave the transformer.
❏Use only the AC adapter model A171B/E 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 AC adapter's label, and always supply power
directly from a standard domestic electrical outlet with the AC power cord that meets the relevant
local safety standards.
❏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 electrical outlet does not exceed the electrical
outlet's ampere rating. Do not place multiple loads on the electrical outlet.
❏Never disassemble, modify, or attempt to repair the AC adapter, power cord, scanner, and option
by yourself except as specifically explained in the scanner's guides.
❏Do not insert objects into any openings as they may touch dangerous voltage points or short out
parts. Beware of electrical shock hazards.
❏Unplug the scanner and the AC adapter, and refer servicing to qualified service personnel under
the following conditions:
The power cord 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 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.)
❏Unplug the scanner and the AC adapter 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 AC adapter from
the electrical outlet.
For United Kingdom, Singapore, and Hong Kong users:
Replace fuses only with fuses of the correct size and rating.
