between 20% and 80%, and where there is no condensation.

DO NOT place the product near heaters, air conditioners, electrical fans, refrigerators, or

water. Doing so may create the risk of an electrical shock, short circuit, or fire, as water may

come into contact with the product (including condensation caused by heating/air

conditioning/ventilation equipment).

DO NOT expose the product to direct sunlight, excessive heat, open flames, corrosive

gasses, moisture, or dust. Doing so may create a risk of an electrical shock, short circuit, or

fire, causing damage to the product and/or rendering it inoperable.

DO NOT place the product near chemicals or in a place where chemicals could be spilled on

it. Should chemicals come into contact with the product, there may be a risk of fire or electrical

shock. In particular, organic solvents or liquids such as benzene, paint thinner, polish remover,

or deodoriser may melt or dissolve the plastic cover and/or cables, resulting in a risk of fire or

electrical shock. These or other chemicals may cause the product to malfunction or become

discoloured.

expected to be near the product. The product is heavy and may fall, causing injury to you or

others and serious damage to the product. For the products with scanning functionality, there

is an added risk of injury if the scanner glass should break.

DO NOT put the product in a location that blocks or obstructs any slot or opening in the

product. These slots and openings are provided for ventilation. Blocking the machine's

ventilation could create a risk of overheating and/or fire.
