C. POWER CORDS AND POWER SUPPLIES
Do not plug any other power cord or power supply into the S3 except
those provided with this unit. Do not overload wall outlets or extension
cords. The grounding-type power plug will only fit into a grounding-type
outlet with matching openings. If you need an extension cord, use only
the grounding type.
D. TEMPER ATURE
The S3 should never be placed near or over a radiator, heat register, or
any other heat source. Avoid leaving the device in an overly hot or cold
environment for prolonged periods of time. The optimal storage temperature
range for the device is between 5°and 40°c(40°and 110°f).

A. EYE SAFETY
The scanner uses LEDs (Light Emitting Diodes) as a source of light. LEDs
are found in household lighting, electronics, and common flashlights.
While they are not generally thought of as harmful to the eye, you should
avoid staring directly into this, or any bright source, at close range or for
prolonged periods of time.
B. SENSITIVE OPTICAL COMPONENTS
The optical components of the S3 can be damaged if exposed to
excessively bright light. Do not scan shiny, mirror-like, or metallic objects
that reflect light back into the S3. Do not scan any extremely bright objects
of any kind. Do not point the S3 at bright room lights or the sun. Cover
the scanner nose with the dark cap when the device is going to be
located in a brightly lit area, and any time the device is not in use for
an extended period of time. Not following these recommendations can
damage the sensitive optical components inside the S3.

All precision scientific instruments require calibration. Most are calibrated
daily and some are calibrated before each measurement. The first time you
use it, the S3 requires a Dark Scan and an Operator Scan. After this first
calibration is done, you will need to do a Dark Scan once every 24 hours,
and an Operator Scan once every 14 days. Refer to the Scan with Your S3
chapter for more information on the dark cap scan and operator scan.

Theenvironmentalconditionsinwhichyoustoreandoperatethescanner
can affect the device. The scanner is designed to work in ambient
temperatures between 50° and 95°f(10° and 35°c). The optimal
scanning temperature is 68° to 77° F (20° to 25°c).The S3 should
not be stored or transported in temperatures greater than 110°f(40°c)
or lower than 40°f(5°c). Leaving the S3 in a car on a warm or cold day
can affect its performance or damage the device.
If the scanner has been stored at a temperature different than the
operating conditions described above (such as in a car overnight), you
must allow sufficient time for the S3 to acclimate to the operating
environment before setup and calibration. Please allow about 30
minutes for the S3 to adjust to the scanning environment before
plugging it into a power outlet or attempting to calibrate it.

When traveling with the scanner, make sure to store it in the carrying case
that came with it. If transporting it by air, bring it along as carry-on luggage.
This minimizes the potential for added shock, jarring, and exposure to
extreme temperatures associated with checked baggage. Remember that
the S3 is an extremely sensitive scientific device and should always be
treated as such.
