Important Precautions and Safety Information
When using this product, these basic safety precautions should always be followed
to reduce risk of fire, electric shock, and injury to persons:
1
Read and understand all instructions.
2
Use common sense whenever operating electrical appliances.
3
Follow all warnings and instructions marked on the product and in the literature
accompanying the product.
4
If an operating instruction appears to conflict with safety information, heed the
safety information. You may have misunderstood the operating instruction. If
you cannot resolve the conflict, contact your sales or service representative for
assistance.
5
Unplug the product from the AC wall socket and telephone jack (if applicable)
before cleaning. Do not use liquid or aerosol cleaners. Use only a damp cloth for
cleaning.
6
Do not place the product on an unstable cart, stand, or table. It may fall,
causing serious damage.
7
Your product should never be placed on, near, or over a radiator, heater, air
conditioner, or ventilation duct.
8
Do not allow anything to rest on the power. Do not locate your product where
the cords will be abused by persons walking on them.
9
Do not overload wall outlets and extension cords. This can diminish
performance, and may result in the risk of fire or electric shock.
10
Do not allow pets to chew on the AC power, telephone, or PC interface cords.
11
Never push objects of any kind into the product through case or cabinet
openings. They may touch dangerous voltage points, creating a risk of fire or
shock. Never spill liquid of any kind onto or into the product.

12
Your product may have a heavy cover for optimal pressure on the document for
the best scanning and/or faxing (usually the flatbed-type product). In this case,
replace the cover after placing document on the scan glass, by holding and
moving it down slowly until it seats on its location.
13
To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not disassemble the product. Take it to a
qualified service technician when repair work is required. Opening or removing
covers may expose you to dangerous voltages or other risks. Incorrect
reassembly could cause electric shock when the unit is subsequently used.
14
Unplug the product from the telephone jack, PC and AC wall outlet, and refer
servicing to qualified service personnel under the following conditions:
• When any part of the power cord, plug, or connecting cable is damaged or
frayed.
• If liquid has been spilled into the product.
• If the product has been exposed to rain or water.
• If the product does not operate properly after instructions have been followed.
• If the product has been dropped, or the cabinet appears damaged.
• If the product exhibits a sudden and distinct change in performance.
15
Adjust only those controls covered by the operating instructions. Improper
adjustment of other controls may result in damage, and may require extensive
work by a qualified service technician to restore the product to normal
operation.
16
Avoid using this product during a lightning storm. There may be a remote risk of
electric shock from lightning. If possible, unplug the AC power and telephone
cord for the duration of the lightning storm.
