OPERATOR’S GUIDE
AFX-35.00
INTEGRATED PERSONAL FACSIMILE
Please read this Operator’s Guide carefully before using your new AFX-2500.
This Guide contains instructions for proper setup,
operation and maintenance of
your AFX-2500
Q
The following information is applicable only to
AFX-2500 facsimile machine installed in United
States.
Label Identification
This equipment complies with Part 68 of the FCC
rules. On the bottom of this equipment is a label
that contains, among other information, the FCC
registration Number and Ringer Equivalence
Number (REN) for this equipment. You may need to
provide this information to your telephone company.
Type of Service
Model AFX-2500 is designed to be used on
standard device telephone lines. Connection to
telephone company-provided coin service (central
office implemented systems) is prohibited.
Connection to party-line service is subject to state
tariffs.
Telephone Company Procedures
The goal of the telephone company is to provide
you with the best service it can. In order to do this,
it may occasionally be necessary for it to make
changes in its equipment, operation, or procedures.
If these changes affect your service or the operation
of the equipment, the telephone company will give
you notice, in writing, to allow you to make any
changes necessary to maintain uninterrupted
service.
If you have any questions about
your telephone
line, such as how many pieces of equipment you
can connect to it, the telephone company will
provide this information upon request.
In certain circumstances, it may be necessary for
the telephone company to request information from
you concerning the equipment which you have
connected to your telephone line. Upon request of
the telephone company, provide the FCC
registration number and the Ringer Equivalence
Number (REN) of the equipment which is
connected to your line; both of these items are
listed on the equipment label and in the Service
Information chapter of this guide. The sum of all of
the
RENs
on your telephone line should be less
than five in order to assure proper service from the
telephone company. In some cases, a sum of five
may not be usable on a given line.
About interference
This equipment has been tested and found to
comply with the limits for a Class B digital device,
pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules.
1
These limits are designed to provide reasonable
protection against harmful interference in a
residential installation. This equipment generates,
uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and,
if not installed and used in accordance with the
instructions, may cause harmful interference to
radio communications. However, there is no
guarantee that interference will not occur in a
particular installation. If this equipment does cause
harmful interference to radio or television reception,
which can be determined by turning the equipment
off and on, the user is encouraged
to try
to correct
the interference by one or more of the following
measures:
Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
Increase the separation between the equipment
and the receiver.
Increase the seperation between the eqipment
and the receiver.
Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit
different from that to which the receiver is
connected.
Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV
technician for help.
If a Problem Arises
If any of your telephone equipment is not operating
properly, you should immediately remove it from
your telephone line, as it may cause harm to the
telephone
network
If the telephone company notes
a problem, it may temporarily discontinue service.
When practical, the telephone company will notify
you in advance of the disconnection. If advance
note is not feasible, you will be notified as soon as
possible. When you are notified, you will be given
the opportunity to correct the problem and informed
of your right to file a complaint with the FCC.
Hearing Aid Compatible
The telephone handset attached to the facsimile is
hearing aid compatible.
Lightning
Your unit has built-in protection circuits, which meet
or exceed FCC requirements, to reduce the risk of
damage from surges in telephone line currents.
However, lightning striking near or on these lines
can cause an exessive surge of voltage that can
damage the phone.
Lightning damage is uncommon. However, if you
are concerned about it or live in an area with
frequent and/or severe electrical storms, we
suggest that you unplug your electronic equipment
during the storms.
DOC Information
Q
The following information is applicable only to
AFX-2500 facsimile machine installed in
Canada.
Notices
The Canadian Department of Communications
(DOC) label identifies certified equipment. This
certification means that the equipment meets
certain telecommunications network protective,
operational and safety requirements. The
Department does not guarantee the equipment wil
operate to the user’s satisfaction.
Before installing this equipment, users should
ensure that it is permissible to be connected to the
facilities of the local telecommunications company.
The equipment must also be installed using an
acceptable method of connection. In some cases,
the company’s inside wiring associated with a
single line individual service may be extended by
means of a certified connector assembly (telephone
extension cord). The customer should be aware
that compliance with the above conditions may not
prevent degradation of service in some situations.
Repairs to certified equipment should be made by
an authorized Canadian maintenance facility
designated by the supplier. Any repairs or
alterations made by the user to this equipment, or
equipment malfunctions, may give the
telecomm-
unications company cause to request the user to
disconnect the equipment.
Users should ensure for their own protection that
the electrical ground connections of power utility,
telephone lines and internal
metalic
water pipe
system, if present, are connected together. This
precaution may be particularly important in rural
areas.
Caution
Users should not attempt to make such connections
themselves, but should contact the appropriate
electric inspection authority, or electrician, as
appropriate. The Load Number (LN) assigned to
each terminal device denotes the percentage of the
total load to be connected to a telephone loop
which is used by the device, to prevent overloading.
The termination on a loop may consist of any
combination of devices subject only to the
requirement that the total of the load numbers of all
the devices does not exceed
100.
The Load Number of this unit
is
