„Safety Precautions
CAUTION
The following describes important cautions.
FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS AND BE SURE TO
HEED ALL WARNINGS AND CAUTIONS
DESCRIBED BELOW.
Install the scanner on a desk so that none of its
parts protrude outside of the desktop. Also, make
sure that the scanner is installed on a flat, level
surface
WARNING
Do not install the scanner on unstable surfaces.
Install the scanner on a level surface that is free of
vibration to prevent it from falling.
Do not touch the power plug with wet hands. Doing
so might cause electric shock.
Install the scanner on a strong surface that will
support the weight of the scanner and other
devices.
Firmly insert the power plug into the power outlet as
far it can go.
A damaged AC cable may cause fire or electric
shock.
Do not place heavy objects on AC cables, or pull,
bend, twist, heat, damage or modify AC cables.
Install the scanner away from strong magnetic fields
and other sources of electronic noise. Also, protect
the scanner from static electricity as this might
cause the scanner to malfunction.
Also, do not use damaged AC cables or power
plugs, and AC cables or power plugs when the wall
socket is loose.
Do not use cables other than the ones supplied with
this product. Use only specified AC cables and
connector cables. Failure to use the correct cables
might cause electric shock and equipment failure.
Do not use aerosol sprays to clean the scanner.
Aerosol sprays cause dirt and dust to enter the
scanner, resulting in scanner failure and
malfunction.
Use this scanner only at the indicated power voltage
and current. Improper power voltage and current
might cause fire or electric shock.
When the scanner is not used for a long period, be
sure to disconnect the power plug from the power
outlet for safety.
Also, do not connect to multiple-power strips.
Do not install the scanner in the direct sunlight or
near heating apparatus. Doing so might cause
excessive heat to build up inside the scanner,
causing fire or scanner trouble. Install the scanner in
a well-ventilated location.
Wipe off any dust from metal parts on the power
plug or metal fittings with a soft, dry cloth.
Accumulated dust might cause fire or electric shock.
Do not install the scanner in locations subject to oil
smoke, steam, humidity, and dust. Doing so might
cause a fire or electric shock.
Do not block the ventilation ports. Blocking the
ventilation ports generates heat inside of scanner,
which may result in fire or scanner failure.
If you detect heat coming from the device or detect
other problems such as smoke, strange smells or
noises, immediately turn off the scanner and then
disconnect its power plug.
Do not place heavy objects on the scanner or use
the scanner's top surface for performing other work.
Improper installation might cause injuries.
Make sure that the smoking has stopped, and then
contact the store where you bought the scanner or
an authorized FUJITSU scanner service provider.
Do not move the scanner with the power and
interface cables connected as this might damage
the cables, causing fire, electric shock or injuries.
If the scanner is damaged for any reason, turn off
the scanner and unplug the power cable before
contacting the store where you purchased the
scanner.
Before moving the scanner, be sure to disconnect
the power plug from the power outlet, and
disconnect data cables. Also, make sure that the
floor is free of obstructions.
Do not insert or drop metal objects into the scanner.
Do not scan wet documents or documents with
paper clips or staples.
Avoid touching any scanner mechanism when
scanning as this may cause injuries.
Do not splash or allow the scanner to get wet.
Do not use the device immediately after moving it
from a cold place to a warm room. This may cause
condensation, which might lead to scanning errors.
Let the device dry about one or two hours before
you use it.
If foreign objects (water, small metal objects, liquids,
etc.) get inside the scanner, immediately turn off the
scanner and disconnect the power plug from the
power outlet, then contact the store where you
bought the scanner or the Maintenance Service
Center. Pay particular attention to this warning in
households where there are small children.
Do not take apart or modify the scanner. The inside
of the scanner contains high-voltage components.
Touching these components might cause fire or
electric shock.
