Power Supply:

• Use a power source only with a power rating specified on the marking label.

• Ensure to turn off the power of each device before connecting or

you pull the cable only, it may damage the core wire and result in fire or

electric shock.

• Place and route the power supply cord such that it is not likely to be walked

on or pinched by items placed upon or against them, paying particular

attention to the cord near the power plugs, convenience receptacles, and at

the point where it exits from the outlet.

• When the scanner is left unattended and unused for long periods of time,

unplug it from the wall outlet.

Moving and Storing the Scanner:

• Always ensure that the scanner is stored properly before shipping or moving

it. Quick stops, excessive force, and uneven surfaces may cause the product

to overturn when moving.

• Do not hit or drop the scanner. The scanner may be damaged if it receives a

strong jolt, which may result in fire or electric shock if the scanner is used

without being repaired.
