Safety Information
When using your scanner, the following safety precautions should always be
followed.
Safety During Operation
In this manual, the following important symbols are used:
RWARNING:
R
WARNING:
Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if instructions
are not followed, could result in death or serious injury.
R
CAUTION:
Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if instructions are
not followed, may result in minor or moderate injury or damage to
property.
•Connect the Power Cord directly into a wall outlet and never use an extension cord.
•Disconnect the power plug (by pulling the plug, not the cable) if the power cable or plug
becomes frayed or otherwise damaged.
•To avoid hazardous electric shock or laser radiation exposure, do not remove any covers
or screws other than those specified in this manual.
•Turn off the power and disconnect the power plug (by pulling the plug, not the cable) if
any of the following conditions exists:
•You spill something into the equipment.
•You suspect that your equipment needs service or repair.
•Your equipment's cover has been damaged.
•Disposal can take place at our authorized dealer or at appropriate collection sites.

iii
RCAUTION:
Lithium Batteries (Memory Back-up)
RWARNING:
•Protect the equipment from dampness or wet weather, such as rain, snow, and so on.
•Unplug the Power Cord from the wall outlet before you move the equipment.
While moving the equipment, you should take care that the Power Cord will not be dam-
aged under the equipment.
•When you disconnect the power plug from the wall outlet, always pull the plug (not the
cable).
•Do not allow paper clips, staples, or other small metallic objects to fall inside the equip-
ment.
•For environmental reasons, do not dispose of the equipment or expended supply waste
at household waste collection points. Disposal can take place at an authorized dealer or
at appropriate collection sites.
•The inside of the machine could be very hot. Do not touch the parts with a label indicating
the "hot surface". Otherwise it could cause a personal burn.
•Our products are engineered to meet high standards of quality and functionality, and we
recommend that you only use the expendable supplies available at an authorized dealer.
•Do not try to replace the lithium batteries by yourself. A battery of this type can explode
if incorrectly replaced. If the lithium batteries need to be replaced, contact an authorized
dealer to request servicing.
•Never dispose of the lithium batteries by incineration. This can cause them to rupture re-
sulting in injury.
Note
❒Please return used NIC boards to our authorized dealer or service representative.
Your cooperation with our recycling activities is appreciated.
❒NIC boards are equipped with a lithium battery. In the case NIC boards are disposed
of by the customer, please dispose them in accordance with national or local regula-
tions after separating the lithium batteries from the NIC board.
