Safety Precautions

CAUTION

•As a rule, do not use electrical extension cords. Fire or electrical shock may result. If the use of an extension cord is necessary, do not use one longer than 5 m (approximately 16.4 feet). Make sure that the extension cord is not twisted, and that the power cord is fully plugged into the extension cord. Do not use multiple extension cords.

•When unplugging the power cord, always pull on the main body. Pulling the cord may damage the wires and lead to fire or electrical shock.

•Do not place objects around the power cord in case it needs to be unplugged during emergencies.

General Handling Precautions

WARNING

•Do not take apart or modify the scanner and supplies. Fire or electrical shock may result from improper handling of its components.

•If you hear unusual noises, see smoke, feel excessive heat or smell anything unusual, immediately unplug the power cord and contact your retailer or Canon Customer Support Help Desk. Continued use of the scanner may result in fires or electrical shock.

•Do not use flammable sprays near the scanner. Do not spill water or liquids into the scanner. Also do not drop metallic pieces such as paper clips or staples into the scanner. If they enter and contact the inner electrical parts, fire or electrical shock may result.

•When cleaning the scanner, always unplug the power cord. Wipe with a soft dry cloth. When it is still dirty, use a cloth damped with water and wrung well, and then wipe off moisture with a soft dry cloth. Do not use flammable liquids such as alcohol, benzene or thinners. If a flammable liquid enters the inner electrical parts or the cables are damaged by plugging/unplugging, fire or electrical shock may result.

•When transporting the scanner, always unplug the cables. Damaged cables could cause fire or electrical shock.

If anything enters the scanner, immediately unplug the power cord. Then contact your retailer or Canon Customer Support Help Desk.

CAUTION

•Do not release the document cover until it completely opens/closes. If the document cover falls, it may lead to pinch your hands or damage the scanner and result in injury.

•Do not place heavy objects on the scanner. Objects may fall and cause injuries.

•Do not place items that weigh 2.0 kg (4.4 lbs.) or more on the platen glass. Also, do not press heavily (i.e., more than 2.0 kg (4.4 lbs.)) on the document cover, the platen glass or the light source glass. The glass may break and cause personal injury.

•Do not drop heavy books or objects on the scanner. Also do not give a shock to the platen glass and the light source glass. The glass may break and cause personal injury.

•When not in use for extended periods, unplug the power cord for safety.

•Do not use the supplied CD-ROM in regular CD players. It produces excessively loud sound that may cause hearing damage.

Setup and Operating Conditions

•Do not set up in areas where there are excessive fluctuations in temperature. Also do not move the scanner from low-temperature areas to high-temperature areas. Condensation may cause image errors. Leave the scanner enough time to gradually adapt to the new conditions before use.

•Do not place the scanner in areas subject to direct sunlight or strong room light. It may cause damage to the scanner or decrease image quality. If you have to place it in direct sunlight, make sure to use a thick curtain to block the light.

•Leave enough space (approximately 20 cm (8 in.)) around the scanner when setting up.
