Operating safety · Never open the housing of the flat bed scanner! This could lead to an electrical short-circuit, damage to your flat bed scanner or fire. · Slots and openings in the flat bed scanner serve for ventilation and prevent overheating. Do not cover these openings. · Never insert any objects through the slits and openings into the inside of the flat bed scanner. Doing so could lead to an electrical short circuit or damage to your flat bed scanner. · Do not allow children to play unattended with any electrical appliances.
