Safety Precautions
To ensure safe and proper use of the LS-4500AF, and to prevent problems,
please take special note of the following points:
Be sure to use an AC100V-120V/AC 200V - 240V, 50/60Hz power
supply. The power cord should be changed to suit the power voltage.
When using a power voltage of more than AC 125V:
Use a power cord that meets the safety standards of the country in
which it is used with insulation of at least SVT type and more than
AWG18 in thickness, and a plug with an AC 250V, 15A rating (NEMA
6P-15.
When using a power voltage of AC 125V or less:
Use a power cord that meets the safety standards of the country in
which it is used with insulation of at least SVT type and more than
AWG18 in thickness, and a plug with an AC 125V, 10A rating.
Make sure that the electrical outlet of the power supply is grounded.
Use the same grounding route used for other equipment connected to
the LS-4500AF. Unless common grounding is used, a ground loop will
occur, which will result in noise static and the danger of an electric
shock.
Do not ground the equipment to a gas or water pipe.
*The shape of the plug depends
on the country of use.
vii
Nikon
Film Scanner LS-4500AF User’s Manual
When plugging in or unplugging the power cord, be sure to touch only
the plug.
Do not pull or bend the SCSI cable, as this can cause the cable to break.
*The shape of the plug depends
on the country of use.
