CARE AND MAINTENANCE

The following suggestions will help you care for your scanner
so you can enjoy it for years.

Keep the scanner dry. If it gets wet, wipe it dry immediately.

Use only fresh batteries of the required size and type. Always
remove old and weak batteries. They can leak chemicals that
destroy electronic circuits.

Handle the scanner gently and carefully. Dropping it can
damage circuit boards and cases and can cause the scanner
to work improperly.

Use and store the scanner only in normal temperature environ-
ments. Temperature extremes can shorten the life of electronic
devices, damage batteries, and distort or melt plastic parts.

Keep the scanner away from dust and dirt, which can cause
premature wear of parts.

Wipe the scanner with a damp cloth occasionally to keep it
looking new. Do not use harsh chemicals, cleaning solvents, or
strong detergents to clean the scanner.
