Connect all equipment to properly grounded power outlets. Avoid using outlets on the same circuit as photocopiers or air control systems that regularly switch on and off.

Do not let the power cord become damaged or frayed.

If you use an extension cord with the scanner, make sure the total ampere rating of the devices plugged into the extension cord does not exceed the cord’s ampere rating. Also, make sure the total ampere rating of all devices plugged into the wall outlet does not exceed the wall outlet’s ampere rating.

Except as specifically explained in this user’s guide, do not attempt to service the scanner yourself.

Unplug the scanner and refer servicing to qualified service personnel under the following conditions:

If the power cord or plug is damaged; if liquid has entered the scanner; if the scanner has been dropped or the cabinet damaged; if the scanner does not operate normally or exhibits a distinct change in performance. Adjust only those controls that are covered by the operating instructions.

If you plan to use the scanner in Germany, observe the following:

To provide adequate short-circuit protection and over-current protection for this scanner, the building installation must be protected by a 16 Amp circuit breaker.

Note for German-speaking users:

Bei Anschluß des Scanners an die Stromversorgung muß sichergestellt werden, daß die Gebäudeinstallation mit einem 16 A-Überstromschalter abgesichert ist.
