ately as follows.
-1. Immediately rinse it off with lots of water.
2. Immediately get medical treatment.
Failing to act may result in a rash or loss of sight.
*Warning
Handling the register
$• Should the register malfunction, start to emit smoke or a strange odor, or otherwise

E-5
To use the cash register safely
*Warning
Power plug and AC outlet
+
+
+
-
• Use only a proper AC electric outlet. Use of an outlet with a different voltage from the
rating creates the danger of malfunction, re, and electric shock. Overloading an electric
outlet creates the danger of overheating and re.
• Make sure the power plug is inserted as far as it will go. Loose plugs create the danger of
electric shock, overheating, and re.
• Do not use the register if the plug is damaged. Never connect to a power outlet that is
loose.
• Use a dry cloth to periodically wipe off any dust built up on the prongs of the plug. Humid-
ity can cause poor insulation and create the danger of electric shock and re if dust stays
on the prongs.
• Do not allow the power cord or plug to become damaged, and never try to modify them in
any way. Continued use of a damaged power cord can cause deterioration of the insula-
tion, exposure of internal wiring, and short circuit, which creates the danger of electric
shock and re.
• Contact CASIO service representative whenever the power cord or plug requires repair or
maintenance.
*Caution
-• Do not place the register on an unstable or uneven surface. Doing so can cause the
register - especially when the drawer is open - to fall, creating the danger of malfunction,
re, and electric shock.
Do not place the register in the following areas.
+• Areas where the register will be subject to large amounts of humidity or dust, or directly
exposed to hot or cold air.
• Areas exposed to direct sunlight, in a close motor vehicle, or any other area subject to
very high temperatures.
The above conditions can cause malfunction, which creates the danger of re.
+• Do not overlay bend the power cord, do not allow it to be caught between desks or other
furniture, and never place heavy objects on top of the power cord. Doing so can cause
short circuit or breaking of the power cord, creating the danger of re and electric shock.
+• Be sure to grasp the plug when unplugging the power cord from the wall outlet. Pulling on
the cord can damage it, break the wiring, or cause short, creating the danger of re and
electric shock.
-• Never touch the plug while your hands are wet. Doing so creates the danger of electric
shock. Pulling on the cord can damage it, break the wiring, or cause short, creating the
danger of re and electric shock.
-• At least once a year, unplug the power plug and use a dry cloth or vacuum cleaner to clear
dust from the area around the prongs of the power plug.
Never use detergent to clean the power cord, especially power plug.
+• Keep small parts out of the reach of small children to make sure it is not swallowed ac-
cidentally.
