Do not drop onto floor.
Avoid any physical shock.
Do not expose to water.
Do not use in dusty places.
Do not use in rain.
Do not use in extremely low temperatures.
Avoid direct sunshine.
Do not handle with dirty gloves.
Do not use in strong electric fields and magnetic fields.
Do not put on the scanner in the place without a pattern such as a

pattern as a bar code.
Do not operate the scanner in an operating environment where
static electricity exceeding the guaranteed voltage will be applied.
Do not pull a cable strongly.
Do not insert an object such as a sharp stick in the reading
window. It might damage the scanner dust cover.
Maintenance

Do not decompose.
Storage/Installation
Keep the scanner away from the following places.

CONNECTION
The scanner requires a USB human interface device (HID) class
driver. No particular installation is required because this device
driver is included with all operating systems since Windows 98.
Connecting the scanner automatically starts the wizard for installing
it, if necessary.
Notes
When plugging and unplugging the USB connector, put an interval of at
least 10 seconds between those actions, since Windows may take several
to 10 seconds to add or delete a USB device.
Hot plugging/unplugging is allowed for USB devices. However, when the
computer is in suspend mode, do not plug or unplug their cables.
When the host computer is processing the communications adapter
connection, do not plug or unplug any other USB device cables.
Never disconnect the USB cable when the communications adapter is in
communication. Doing so will not only lose data but affect the system
badly.
Directly connect the communications adapter to the USB port on the host
computer or to the self-powered hub. The communications adapter may
not be connected to some types of hubs. If the operation of the
hub-connected communications adapter is unstable, connect it directly to
the USB port on the host computer
