IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTES

• Plug the meter into a properly grounded wall outlet. This reduces the risk of shock and

equipment damage in the event of a short circuit. DO NOT remove the power cord's

ground pin and DO NOT use a ground adapter.

• The power cord wall plug is the primary means of disconnecting the meter from the AC

supply. The meter is on whenever it is plugged into a live receptacle, even though the

key switch and operator display may be off.

• Place the meter close to an easily accessible wall outlet. Avoid using wall outlets con-

trolled by wall switches or shared by other equipment.

• Make sure the area in front of the wall outlet into which the 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 meter. The cabinet encloses hazardous parts. If the meter was dropped

or otherwise damaged, report such damage to your Pitney Bowes Customer Service

Representative.

• Keep fingers, long hair, jewelry and loose clothing away from moving parts at all times.

• Read all instructions before you attempt to operate the meter.

• Use the equipment only for its intended purpose.

• Printhead temperature can reach 103°F (43°C), making it warm to the touch.

• Always follow the specific occupational safety and health standards prescribed for your

workplace.

• Switch the meter OFF when you change the ribbon cassette.
