Other Precautions
When installed at a certain location, the machine
may cause interference with radio and television
reception. If you notice flickering or distorted
images or noises on your audio-visual units, your
machine may be causing radio interference.
Switch it Off, and if the interference disappears,
the machine is the cause of radio interference.
Perform the following procedures until the
interference is corrected:
Move the machine, and the TV and radio away
from each other.
Reposition or re-orientate the machine and/or
the TV and radio.
Unplug the machine, TV, and radio, and replug
them into outlets that operate on different
circuits.
Re-orientate the TV and/or radio antennas and
cables until the interference stops. For an
outdoor antenna, you should ask your local
electrician for support.
Use coaxial cable antennas.
The machine has a built-in circuit for protection
against lightning-induced surge current. If
lightning strikes in your neighborhood, switch Off
the machine. Disconnect the Power Cord from the
machine, and reconnect them only when lightning
has stopped.
Do not place any metal part such as staples or
clips on the machine. If metal and flammable
parts entered the machine, they can short
internal components, and cause fire or electric
shocks.
If debris (metal or liquid) entered the machine,
switch Off and unplug the machine. Contact your
local authorized Panasonic service representative.
Operating a debris-contaminated machine can
cause fire or electric shocks.
Never open or remove machine covers that are
secured with screws unless specifically
instructed in this manual. A high voltage
component can cause electric shocks.
Do not try to alter the machine configuration, or
modify any parts. An unauthorized modification
can cause smoke or fire.
This equipment is certified as a Class 1 laser
product under IEC60825 and FDA (Food and
Drug Administration:USA). This means that the
machine does not emit hazardous laser
radiation.
Since radiation emitted inside the machine is
completely confined within the protective
housings and external covers, the laser beam
cannot escape from the machine during any
phase of user operation. Do not perform any
operation apart from the instructions given in the
manual. There may be a danger of laser beam
leakage.
Do not place any heavy object on the machine.
An off-balance machine can fall over or the
heavy object can fall, causing injuries.
If you make copies with the document cover
open, avoid looking directly at the copy lamp.
Direct eye exposure can cause eye fatigue or
damage.
Do not use a highly flammable spray near the
machine. It can cause fire.
When copying a thick document, do not use
excessive force to press it against the document
glass. The glass may break and cause injuries.
Do not touch areas on or near the Fuser Unit
that are affixed with the label, “Hot Surface”.
You can get burnt as a result. Do not forcefully
remove paper that are in the Fuser Unit or
wrapped around the Heat Roller. You can get
burnt as a result. Switch Off the machine, and
contact your local authorized Panasonic service
representative.
Do not place any liquid container such as
a vase or coffee cup on the machine.
Spilt water can cause fire or electric
shocks.
