Warning Indications Used in This Document

For Safe Use

The following describes important warnings for using this product. For the safe use of this product, make sure to follow the following descriptions. In the following warnings, "power cable" refers to the AC cable connected to the AC adapter collectively.

WARNING ❗ Insert the power cable into the AC outlet within reach. In any one of the following situations, immediately turn off the ScanSnap, and disconnect the power cable from the AC outlet. Not doing so may cause a fire, burns, injury, or electric shock:

• The ScanSnap is damaged for any reason.
• Smoke or heat coming from the ScanSnap is detected.
• Abnormal noise or smell is detected.
• Foreign objects (e.g., water, liquids, small metal objects) get inside the ScanSnap.
• Damages such as cracks occur on the AC adapter.
• Other problems which indicate a ScanSnap failure are detected.

For your safety, do not take apart or modify the ScanSnap as there are high-voltage components inside the ScanSnap. Doing so may cause an electric shock.

Firmly insert the power cable into the AC outlet. Not doing so may cause a fire or the ScanSnap to malfunction.

? Use the ScanSnap only at the indicated power voltage and current. Do not connect to multiple-power strips. Improper power voltage or current might cause a fire or electric shock.

? Use only the power cable (including the AC cable and the AC adapter) provided with the ScanSnap. Do not use any extension cords. Not following these instructions may cause abnormal heat or a fire. Do not use the power cable provided with the ScanSnap for other devices, since this might cause problems such as an equipment failure, or an electric shock.

? Do not place things such as chemicals, air fresheners, deodorizers, cosmetics, and detergents around the ScanSnap and the AC adapter. If they get on the plastic part of the ScanSnap or the AC adapter, the part may be deteriorated or cracked, which may cause an electric shock. If this does happen, wipe them off immediately.

? Do not install the ScanSnap in the following locations which are subject to high temperature, humidity, less ventilation, or dust. If placed in an area subject to high temperature, the cover may become overheated and deformed, resulting in an electric leakage or fire. Use the ScanSnap in a well-ventilated environment.

• A place near heat-radiating devices such as stoves or electric heaters, or flammable items such as volatile inflammable materials or curtain.
• A place such as kitchen where oil smoke may be formed.
• A place such as a bathroom, shower room, or swimming pool where it may easily get wet.
• A place under direct sunlight, in a car under the scorching sun, or near heating apparatus where it may get hot.
• A place that builds up heat such as covering the ScanSnap with a blanket or cloth.
• A place where inflammable gas may be generated, such as a gas station.

? Do not block the ventilation ports. Blocking the ventilation ports generates heat inside of the ScanSnap, which may result in a fire or ScanSnap failure.

❗ Before moving the ScanSnap, be sure to disconnect any cables connected to it. Make sure that the floor is free of any obstructions. Do not move the ScanSnap while there are cables connected, doing so can damage the cables, in turn causing fire or electric shock. The cables can also hinder work, causing injuries.

? Do not touch the power cable with wet hands. Doing so might cause an electric shock.

❗ When disconnecting the power cable from the AC outlet, make sure that you hold the power plug and not the cable. Pulling the cable may damage it, which may cause a fire or electric shock.

? Do not use the power cable if it is damaged. Also, do not insert any cables or power plugs into loose sockets. Doing so may cause a fire or electric shock.

❗ Be careful of the following when handling the power cable:

• Do not moisten, modify, tie, bundle, or wind the cable.
• Do not place heavy objects on the cable, trap the cable in a doorway, drop or damage the cable in any other way.
• Do not pull or forcibly bend or twist the cable.
• Do not place any metal near to the plug of the power cable.

❗ To avoid injuries, be careful not to get your clothing (e.g., ties, necklaces) or hair caught inside the ScanSnap.

? Do not use the ScanSnap while driving a car. Doing so may prevent you from driving carefully, which can cause an accident.

? Do not touch the heated section (such as the bottom of the ScanSnap or AC adapter) for a long time. Doing so may cause a low-temperature burn on your skin.

❗ If you are not going to use the ScanSnap for a long period of time or before you clean the ScanSnap, you must turn it off and disconnect the power cable from the AC outlet. Not doing so may cause a fire or electric shock.

? Do not use any aerosol sprays or alcohol based sprays to clean the ScanSnap. Dust blown up by strong air from the spray may enter the inside of the ScanSnap. This may cause the ScanSnap to fail or malfunction. Sparks, caused by static electricity, generated when blowing off dust and dirt from the outside of the ScanSnap may cause a fire.

❗ Check the following items once a month:

• The power cable is firmly inserted into the AC outlet.
• The power cable is not emitting abnormal heat, or the cable is not rusted or bent.
• Dust is not accumulated on the power cable (especially the plug). If so, wipe off any dust with a soft, dry cloth.
• The power cable does not have any cracks or scratches.

For ScanSnap iX1600 and iX1300 Users
