General Handling Precautions

CAUTION

Do not disassemble, alter or attempt to repair any part of the equipment. The internal components include high-voltage parts that may lead to fire or electric shock if incorrectly handled or repaired.

Unplug the equipment immediately if it emits strange noises, smoke or heat, or responds abnormally. Contact the distributor or the nearest Canon Cus- tomer Support Help Desk. Continued use of the equipment could lead to fire or electric shock.

Do not use flammable sprays or substances near the equipment. There is a risk of fire or electric shock if the spray contacts the equipment’s internal compo- nents.

Do not insert or drop metallic objects, such as paperclips or staples, into the interior of the equipment. Be careful also not to spill water, other liquids or solvents (alcohol, benzene or thinners, etc.) into it. There is a risk of fire or electric shock if any of these substances contact the equipment’s internal components. Immediately unplug the equipment if anything gets inside it and contact your distributor or the nearest Canon Customer Support Help Desk.

Do not use the equipment on its side.

Unplug the equipment before cleaning it. Failure to do so could lead to fire or electric shock.

Use a well-wrung damp cloth to clean the exterior of the equipment. Do not use alcohol, benzene, thinners or other flammable substances to clean it. Contact between these substances and the equipment’s electrical components could lead to fire or electric shock.

ATTENTION

Unplug the equipment as a safety precaution if it will be left unused over an extended period, such as a holiday.

Take adequate care when carrying or moving the equipment. Dropping it may cause injury.

Wait for the equipment to cool down after removing the plug before covering it with a dust cover or similar device. There is a risk of fire.

Do not play the CD-ROM in an audio CD player. The loud volume of its contents may lead to ear damage.
