Safety Requirements

NOTE: Your mailing system requires annual cleaning by a Pitney Bowes service representative. For continued safe operation, contact your local Pitney Bowes office for a scheduled cleaning.

If you use an AC adapter to power the meter when it is off the mailing ma- chine base:

•Use only the AC adapter designed specifically for the IntelliLink® Con- trol Center on the back of the DM500™ and DM550™ Digital Mailing System. Third-party AC adapters may damage the IntelliLink® Control Center.

•To protect against electrical shock, plug the AC adapter into a properly grounded power outlet.

•Do not route the AC adapter cable over sharp edges or trap between furniture.

CAUTION: In case of an ink spill, leaking ink or excessive ink accumulation, immediately power down and disconnect the power cord from the wall plug and call your local Pitney Bowes office for a cleaning.

The IntelliLink® Control Center and its built-in postage meter (Postal Se- curity Device) connect directly to analog telephone lines. For your protec- tion we urge you to follow basic safety precautions to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock and injury to persons, as well as the following:

•Never connect telephone wiring during a lightning storm.

•Disconnect the meter telephone line during a lightning storm.

•Avoid using a telephone or equipment that connects to a telephone line during an electrical storm; there may be a remote risk of electrical shock from lightning.

•Never install telephone jacks in wet locations.

•Do not use this product near water, for example, near a bath tub, wash bowl, kitchen sink or laundry tub, in a wet basement or near a swim- ming pool.

•Never touch non-insulated telephone wires or terminals unless the telephone line has been disconnected at the network interface.

•Use caution when installing or modifying telephone lines.

•Do not use the telephone or equipment connected to the telephone line in the vicinity of a gas leak.
