and telephone line

a Connect the AC power cord to the machine and

then plug it into an electrical socket.

b Turn the machine's power switch on.

The machine must be grounded using an
earthed plug.

Since the machine is grounded through the
electrical socket, you can protect yourself
from potentially hazardous electrical
conditions on the telephone network by
keeping the power cord connected to your
machine when you connect it to a telephone
line. Similarly, you can protect yourself when
you want to move your machine by
disconnecting the telephone line first and then
the power cord.

If you are sharing one telephone line with an
external telephone, connect it as shown below.

c Connect the telephone line cord. Connect one

end of the telephone line cord to the socket on
the machine marked LINE and the other end to
a telephone wall socket.

The telephone line cord MUST be connected to
the socket on the machine marked LINE.
