Important Safety Notes
Follow the normal safety precautions for all office equipment.
• Use only Pitney Bowes approved supplies, in particular aerosol
dusters. Improper storage and use of aerosol dusters or flammable
aerosol dusters can cause an explosive-like condition that could
result in personal injury and/or property damage. Never use aerosol
dusters labeled flammable and always read instructions and safety
precautions on the duster label.
• To obtain Pitney Bowes supplies, please contact our Supply Line to
place orders. Material Safety Data Sheets can be obtained on the
web or from the Supply Line. Refer to the Contact Information List in
this guide for phone number and web address information.
• Please read all instructions before you attempt to operate the
mailstation™ meter. Save these instructions for future use.
• Use the power cord supplied with the mailstation™ meter and
plug it into a properly grounded wall outlet that's located near the
mailstation™ meter and easily accessible. Failure to properly ground
the mailstation™ meter can result in severe personal injury and/or
fire.
• The power cord wall plug is the primary means of disconnecting the
mailstation™ meter from the AC supply. The unit is on whenever it is
plugged into a live receptacle, even though the operator display may
be off.
• DO NOT use a wall outlet controlled by a wall switch or one that is
shared with other equipment.
• Do not use an adapter plug on the line cord or wall outlet.
• Do not remove the ground pin from the line cord.
• Make sure the area in front of the wall outlet into which the
mailstation™ meter is plugged is free from obstruction.
• DO NOT route the power cord over sharp edges or trap it between
pieces of furniture. Make sure there is no strain on the power cord.
• To reduce the risk of fire or electrical shock, DO NOT attempt to
remove covers or disassemble the control panel or its base. The
cabinet encloses hazardous parts. If you should drop or otherwise
damage the unit, call Pitney Bowes.
• Keep fingers, long hair, jewelry and loose clothing away from moving
parts at all times.
• Avoid touching moving parts or materials while the
mailstation™
meter is in use. Before clearing a jam, be sure mailstation™ meter
mechanisms come to a complete stop.
• Use the equipment only for its intended purpose.
