Product Safety Guide
5
(DSmobile DS-940DW only)
DO NOT intentionally overheat the rechargeable
Li-ion battery or dispose of it in re. Doing so
could cause the insulation to melt, gas to be
emitted, or the safety mechanism to fail. The
electrolyte solution could also catch re, resulting
in overheating, smoke, an explosion, or re.
(DSmobile DS-940DW only)
DO NOT puncture the rechargeable Li-ion
battery with any objects, subject it to severe
shocks or throw it. Damage to the rechargeable
Li-ion battery's protection circuit could cause the

abnormal current/voltage or cause an abnormal
chemical reaction within the rechargeable Li-ion
battery.
(DSmobile DS-940DW only)
DO NOT incinerate the rechargeable Li-ion battery
or dispose of it with household waste.
WARNING
(DSmobile DS-940DW only)
Keep the rechargeable Li-ion battery away from
infants. If ingested, contact emergency services
immediately.

Stop using the rechargeable Li-ion battery if there
are noticeable abnormalities such as smell, heat,
deformities, or discolouration. Turn the power
switch off immediately and remove the USB cable
from the power source.
Never insert any objects into the slots in the
scanner’s casing, since they may touch dangerous
voltage points or short out parts resulting in the
risk of re or electrical shock. If metal objects,
water or other liquids get inside the scanner,
immediately unplug the scanner from the power
source. Contact your Brother dealer or Brother
customer service.
DO NOT place the scanner near radiators,
heaters, air conditioners, water, chemicals
or devices that contain magnets or generate
magnetic elds. Doing so may create the risk
of a short circuit or re should water come into
contact with the scanner (including condensation
from heating, air conditioning, and/or ventilation
equipment that may be sufcient to create a short
circuit or re).
DO NOT place the scanner near chemicals or in
a place where chemical spillage could occur. In
particular, organic solvents or liquids may cause
the casing and/or cables to melt or dissolve,
risking a re or electrical shock. They may also
cause the scanner to malfunction or become
discoloured.
Plastic bags are used in the packaging of the
scanner. To avoid danger of suffocation, keep
them away from babies and children. Plastic bags
are not toys.
DO NOT expose the scanner to direct sunlight,
excessive heat, open ames, corrosive gasses,
moisture or dust. DO NOT place the scanner on a
carpet or rug, as this will expose it to dust. Doing
so may create a risk of an electrical short or re.
It may also damage the scanner and/or render it
inoperable.
DO NOT use ammable substances, any type of
spray, or an organic solvent/liquid that contains
alcohol or ammonia to clean the inside or outside
of the scanner. Doing this may cause a re or
electrical shock.

CAUTION
Avoid placing the scanner in a high-trafc area. If
you must place it in a high-trafc area, ensure that
the scanner is in a safe location where it cannot be
accidentally knocked over, which could cause injury
to you or others and serious damage to the scanner.
Ensure that cables and cords leading to the scanner
are secured so as not to pose a tripping hazard.
Make sure that no part of the scanner protrudes
from the desk or stand where the scanner is
located. Make sure that the scanner is located on
a at, level, and stable surface free from vibration.
Failure to observe these precautions could cause
the scanner to fall, causing an injury.
DO NOT place the scanner on an unstable or tilted
cart, stand, or table, or on any tilted/slanted surface.
The scanner may fall, causing injury to you and
serious damage to the scanner. There is an added
risk of injury if the scanner glass should break.
Do not place heavy objects on the scanner. It may
cause unbalance and the scanner may fall down.
This may result in injury.
Do not use the scanner in locations where
temperature changes are extreme. The resulting
condensation may result in scanner failure or
malfunction. If condensation forms, wait until it
dries completely before using the scanner again.
IMPORTANT
Servicing the scanner
DO NOT attempt to service the scanner yourself.
Opening or removing covers may expose you
to dangerous voltages and other risks, and may
void your warranty. Contact your Brother dealer or
Brother customer service.
WARNING
If the scanner has been dropped or the casing
has been damaged, there may be the possibility
of an electrical shock or re. Unplug the scanner
from the power source and contact your Brother
dealer or Brother customer service.
If the scanner becomes unusually hot, releases
smoke, generates any strong smells, or if you
accidentally spill any liquid on it, immediately
unplug the scanner from the power source.

Tips on using the
rechargeable Li-ion battery
(DSmobile DS-940DW
only)
• Charge the rechargeable Li-ion battery before use.
Do not use the scanner until the rechargeable Li-
ion battery has been fully charged.
• The rechargeable Li-ion battery charging can
take place in 5°C - 39°C environments. If the
surrounding temperature is out of this range, the
rechargeable Li-ion battery will not be charged,
and the battery indicator will remain lit.
• If the scanner is used when both the rechargeable Li-
ion battery is installed and the scanner is connected
to your computer, charging may stop even if the
rechargeable Li-ion battery has not been fully
charged.
Rechargeable Li-ion
battery characteristics
(DSmobile DS-940DW
only)
Understanding the properties of the rechargeable
Li-ion battery will allow you to optimise its usage.
• Using or storing the rechargeable Li-ion battery
in a location exposed to high or low temperatures
may accelerate its deterioration. In particular,
using a rechargeable Li-ion battery with a high
charge (90% or more) in a location exposed to
high temperatures will considerably accelerate
battery deterioration.
• Using the scanner while the rechargeable Li-ion
battery is installed and charging may accelerate
the battery’s deterioration.
• If the rechargeable Li-ion battery will not be used
for a long period of time, we recommend charging
it every three months.
• While the rechargeable Li-ion battery is charging,
the scanner may become warm. This is normal,
and the scanner may be used safely. If the
scanner becomes extremely hot, stop using it.
