• Place the fax machine on a flat, stable surface such as a desk or stand.
• Select a place where the machine will not be subjected to bumping or exces
sive vibration.
• Do not stt it up in a high-traffie area.

• Avoid setting up the machine near heaters, air conditioners, water, chemicals
or refrigerators.
• Avoid direct sunlight, excessive heat, moisture, or dust.

If you have inserted the plug into the power supply before
you have loaded the machine with paper, an alarm will

with a core that is less than 1".)
6. CONNECTING YOUR FAX TO THE POWER OUTLET
Important
The machine must always be connected to the power
outlet before you connect it to a telephone line.
Similarly when moving the unit, the telephone line
should be disconnected before unplugging the power
cord. This is because the machine relies on the ground
from the plug to prevent any hazardous electrical condi
tions from developing on the telephone network.
This machine can be plugged into any standard grounded
power outlet. Make sure the socket is grounded and that the
machine is not on the same line as any large appliances or
office machines such as refrigerators or photocopiers. The
power requirements for this fax machine can be found in the
Specifications section on page 8-1.
