Important Safety Notes

Follow the normal safety precautions for all office equipment.

Use only Pitney Bowes approved supplies, in particular aerosol dusters. Improper storage and use of aerosol dusters or flam- mable aerosol dusters can cause an explosive-like condition that could result in personal injury and/or property damage. Never use aerosol dusters labeled flammable and always read instruc- tions and safety precautions on the duster label.

To obtain Pitney Bowes supplies, please contact our Supply Line to place orders. Material Safety Data Sheets can be obtained on the web or from the Supply Line. Refer to the Contact Informa- tion List in this guide for phone number and web address infor- mation.

Please read all instructions before you attempt to operate the digital postage meter. Save these instructions for future use.

Use the power cord supplied with the digital postage meter and plug it into a properly grounded wall outlet that's located near the digital postage meter and easily accessible. Failure to properly ground the digital postage meter can result in severe personal injury and/or fire.

The power cord wall plug is the primary means of disconnecting the digital postage meter from the AC supply. The unit is on whenever it is plugged into a live receptacle, even though the operator display may be off.

DO NOT use a wall outlet controlled by a wall switch or one that is shared with other equipment.

Do not use an adapter plug on the line cord or wall outlet.

Do not remove the ground pin from the line cord.

Make sure the area in front of the wall outlet into which the digital postage meter is plugged is free from obstruction.
