Important Safety Notes
Follow the normal safety precautions for all of fice equipment.
• Please read all instructions before you attempt to op er ate the sys-
tem. Save these in struc tions for future use.
• Use only Pitney Bowes-approved supplies, in particular aerosol
dusters. Improper storage and use of aerosol dusters or flam-
mable 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 instruc-
tions and safety precautions on the duster label.
• Use the power cord supplied with the ma chine and plug it into a
properly ground ed wall outlet that's lo cat ed near the machine and
easily accessible. Failure to properly ground the machine can re-
sult in se vere per son al injury and/or fire.
• The power cord wall plug is the primary means of dis con nect ing
the machine from the AC supply. The unit is on whenever it is
plugged into a live re cep ta cle, even though the operator display
may be blank.
• Place the mailing machine base close to an easily ac ces si ble
wall out let. DO NOT use a wall outlet con trolled by a wall switch
or one that is shared with oth er equipment.
• Do not use an adapter plug on the line cord or wall out let.
• Do not remove the ground pin from the line cord.
• Make sure the area in front of the wall outlet into which the ma-
chine is plugged is free from ob struc tion.
• DO NOT route the power cord over sharp edges or trap it be-
tween pieces of fur ni ture. Make sure there is no strain on the
power cord.
• To reduce the risk of fire or electrical shock, DO NOT attempt to
re move covers or disassemble the control panel or its base. The
cab i net encloses hazardous parts. If you should drop or otherwise
dam age the unit, call Pitney Bowes.
• Use only Pitney Bowes approved ink, tape strips, and cleaners.
