Precautions
For your own safety and that of your equipment, respect conscientiously the
and always take the following precautions:
"
Check frequently whether there is no overheating of the AC adapter.
"
If you do not use your scanner for some time, pull the AC adapter cable out of the power
supply socket.
"
Handle your SnapScan with care: the glass plate is fragile. There is no warranty on breaking
the glass plate and your dealer is not liable for consequential damages.
"
Disconnect the AC adapter when you want to clean the scanner housing or the glass plate and
when the scanner needs servicing or repairing.
"
Do not open the scanner housing as it contains high-voltage areas and sensitive components.
Every repair should be carried out by your dealer.
"
Do not leave originals on the reflective glass plate for excessive periods of time. The warmth of
the scanner may cause them to deteriorate.
"
For safety reasons, never use extension cables for the AC adapter.
Caution:
For safety reasons, besides the personal maintenance mentioned in this Owner's Guide,
do not try to remove any mechanical parts or any electronic components from your scanner. If your
scanner needs service, our dealer and service offices are available to help you.
Cleaning your Scanner
"
Cleaning the glass plate regularly, ensures that dirt or smudges do not reduce the quality of
your scanned images.
"
Before cleaning, disconnect the AC adapter from your scanner.
"
Use a soft damp cloth and a mild detergent to clean the surface of the glass plate. If you use
alcohol to clean the glass plate, make sure that you do not touch the plastic elements of the
scanner.
"
Avoid using sprays directly onto the glass plate as this may cause the liquid to penetrate the
seams around the glass and contaminate the mirrors and lenses inside the scanner.
"
Do not use liquid cleaners or aerosol cleaners.
