Safety Instructions
Important Safety Instructions
In this document, notes indicate the following:
Notes
contain important information and useful tips on the operation of this product.
Read all these instructions and save them for later reference.
Follow all warnings and instructions marked on the Network Interface Unit.
❏Do not spill liquid onto the Network Interface Unit.
❏Except as specifically explained in this User’s Guide, do not attempt to service the Network Interface Unit yourself.
❏Place the product on a flat, stable surface that extends beyond the base of the product in all directions. If you place
the product by the wall, leave more than 10 cm between the back of the product and the wall. The product will not
operate properly if it is tilted at an angle.
❏Avoid places subject to dust, shocks, or vibrations.
❏Place the product close enough to the scanner for the interface cable to reach it easily. Do not place or store the
product 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 product near an electrical outlet where the adapter can be easily unplugged.
❏The AC adapter cord should be placed to avoid abrasions, cuts, fraying, crimping, and kinking. Do not place
objects on top of the cord and do not allow the AC adapter or the cord to be stepped on or run over. Be particularly
careful to keep the cord straight at the end.
❏Use only the AC adapter that comes with your product. Using any other adapter could cause fire, electrical shock,
or injury.
❏The AC adapter is designed for use with the product 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 adapter that meets the relevant local safety standards.
❏When connecting this product to a scanner 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.

explained in the product’s guides.

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.
