• As a general rule, do not use extension cords. Using an extension cord may result in
a fire or electrical shock. If an extension cord must be used, however, use one rated
for voltages of 220 - 240 V AC and over, untie the cord binding, and insert the power
plug completely into the extension cord outlet to ensure a firm connection between
the power cord and the extension cord.
• Do not use power supplies with voltages other than those specified herein, as this
may result in a fire or electrical shock.
• Always grasp the power plug when disconnecting the power cord. Pulling on the
power cord may expose or snap the core wire, or otherwise damage the power cord. If
the power cord is damaged, this could cause current to leak, resulting in a fire or
electrical shock.
IMPORTANT
Leave sufficient space around the power plug so that it can be unplugged easily. If objects
are placed around the power plug, you will be unable to unplug it in an emergency.
Handling
WARNING
• Do not attempt to disassemble or modify the machine. There are high-temperature
and high-voltage components inside the machine which may result in a fire or
electrical shock.
• If the machine makes strange noises, or gives off smoke, heat, or strange smells,
immediately turn OFF the main power switch, and disconnect the power cord from
the power outlet. Then, contact your local authorized Canon dealer. Continued use of
the machine in this condition may result in a fire or electrical shock.
• Do not use highly flammable sprays near the machine. If gas from these sprays
comes into contact with the electrical components inside the machine, it may result
in a fire or electrical shock.
• To avoid damage to the power cord and creating a fire hazard, always turn OFF the
main power switch, and unplug the interface cable when moving the machine.
Otherwise, the power cord or interface cable may be damaged, resulting in a fire or
electrical shock.
• Make sure that the power plug is firmly inserted into the power outlet if the machine
was moved. Do not use the machine while the connection is loose, as doing so may
cause a fire.
• Do not drop paper clips, staples, or other metal objects inside the machine. Also, do
not spill water, liquids, or flammable substances (alcohol, benzene, paint thinner,
etc.) inside the machine. If these items come into contact with a high-voltage area
inside the machine, it may result in a fire or electrical shock. If these items are
dropped or spilled inside the machine, immediately turn OFF the main power switch,
and disconnect the power cord from the power outlet. Then, contact your local
authorized Canon dealer.
