Important Safety Precautions 

Always follow these basic safety precautions when using your 
scanner. This will reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, and injury. 

ƒ

 

Important

: Do not expose this product to rain or moisture. 

ƒ

 

Caution

: To avoid risk of electric shock, do not disassemble this 

unit. There are no user-serviceable parts inside. Refer all 
servicing to qualified personnel 

ƒ

 

Ventilation

: The device should be situated so that its location or 

position does not interfere with its proper ventilation. For example, 
the unit should not be situated on a bed, sofa, rug, or similar 
surfaces that may block the ventilation openings. 

ƒ

 

Heat

: The device should be situated away from sources of high 

heat such as radiators or stoves. 

ƒ

 

USB power source

: The device should be connected to a USB 

power supply from a connected computer with USB 2.0 compliant 
connection. 

ƒ

 

Cleaning

: We strongly suggest using a clean, dry, non-alcohol 

cotton swab or the included cleaning brush to insert into the 
scanner slot from the right side and clean the glass surface 
periodically to produce a clear image. 

ƒ

 

Non-use

: The USB cable should be unplugged from the computer 

when the unit is left unused for a long period of time. 

ƒ

 

USB overloading

: Do not overload the USB connections on your 

computer. If you have other devices connected to your computer 
such as a wireless mouse, MP3 player, mobile phone, or other 
USB powered devices. If too many devices are connected to the 
computer, there may be inadequate power for the scanner to 
operate properly. 

ƒ

 

Servicing

: The user should not attempt to service the device 

beyond those means described in the operating instructions. All 
other servicing should be referred to qualified service personnel. 

ƒ

 

Negative Trays

: In some cases, the holes on the negatives will 

not match exactly to alignment of the tray. This is caused by a 
non-standard camera. In this case, there will be a small black line 
on the edge of the image that can easily be cropped out using the 
included PhotoImpression software.
