Do not place or store the scanner or the AC adapter outdoors, near excessive dirt or dust, water, heat sources, or in locations subject to shocks, vibrations, high temperature or humidity, direct sunlight, strong light sources, or rapid changes in temperature or humidity. Do not use with wet hands.

Place the film holder in the correct position for your film type. Be sure to match the letter on the film holder tab with the corresponding letter on the scanner.
Place the scanner and the AC adapter near an electrical outlet where the power cord can be easily unplugged. Power supply cords should be placed to avoid abrasions, cuts, fraying, crimping, and kinking. Do not place objects on top of power-supply cords and do not allow the AC adapter or powersupply cords to be stepped on or run over. Be particularly careful to keep all power-supply cords straight at the ends and the points where they enter and leave the AC adapter.
Replace the document mat.
Use only the AC adapter model A241B/E or A181B that comes with your scanner. Using any other adapter could cause fire, electrical shock, or injury.

If your AC adapter is equipped with a polarized alternating-current line plug (a plug having one blade wider than the other) and a polarized power inlet, you must insert the plug into a power outlet in a specific way. This is a safety feature. If you are unable to insert the plug properly, try reversing the plug. If this fails again, contact an electrician to replace your outlet.
