Regulatory information

Customer information

United States of America

The MFX-1950/F-315 hereafter referred to as “product”, complies with Part 68 of the FCC rules and the requirements adopted by the ACTA. On the rear panel of the product is a label that contains, among other information, a product identifier in the format US: DKUFA23B004C (for MFX-1950/F-315). If required, this number must be provided to the telephone company.

The REN is used to determine the number of devices that may be connected to a telephone line. Excessive RENs on a telephone line may result in the devices not ringing in response to an incoming call. In most, but not all areas, the sum of RENs should not exceed five (5.0). To be certain of the number of devices that may be connected to a line, as determined by the total RENs, contact the local telephone company. The REN for this product is part of the product identifier that has the format US:DKUFA23B004C (for

MFX-1950/F-315). The digits represented by “23B” are the REN without a decimal point.

The product is designed for use on standard-device telephone lines. The product connects to the telephone line with a standard line called the USOC RJ-11C.

Any plug and jack used to connect the product to the wiring and telephone network of the premises must comply with the applicable Part 68 of the FCC rules and the requirements adopted by the ACTA. A compliant telephone cord and modular plug is provided with this product. It is designed to be connected to a compatible modular jack that is also compliant. See installation instructions for details.

If the product causes harm to the telephone network, the telephone company will notify you in advance that temporary discontinuance of service may be required. If advance notice isn’t practical, the telephone company will notify you as soon as possible and may advise you of your right to file a complaint with the FCC if you believe it is necessary.

The telephone company may make changes in its facilities, equipment, operations or procedures that could affect the operation of the product. If this happens, the telephone company will provide advance notice in order for you to make necessary modifications to maintain uninterrupted service.

If trouble is experienced with the product, see operating instructions for details. For further repair or warranty information, please contact the Muratec Customer Support Center at 800-347-3296 (from the U.S. A. only). If the product is causing harm to the telephone network, the telephone company may request that you disconnect the product until the problem is resolved.

Connection to party line service is subject to state tariffs. Contact the state public utility commission, public service commission, or corporation commission for information.

If your home has specially wired alarm equipment connected to the telephone line, ensure the installation of the product does not disable your alarm equipment. If you have questions about what will disable alarm equipment, consult your telephone company or a qualified installer.

The product is hearing aid compatible.

When programming emergency numbers and/or making test calls to emergency numbers:

1)Remain on the line and briefly explain to the dispatcher the reason for the call.

2)Perform such activities in the off-peak hours, such as early morning or late evenings.

ii

To protect the product against power surges, we recommend the use of a power protection device (Surge arrestor).

The Telephone Consumer Protection Act of 1991 makes it unlawful for any person to use a computer or other electronic device, including FAX machines, to send any message unless such message clearly contains in a margin at the top or bottom of each transmitted page or on the first page of the transmission, the date and time it is sent and

an identification of the receiving business or other entity, or other individual sending the message and the telephone number of the sending machine or such business, other entity, or individual. (The telephone number provided may not be a 900 number or any other number for which charges exceed local or long-distance transmission charges.)

For instructions on programming this information into the product, see “Initial Setup” on pages 1-13 to 1-17 of this manual.

FCC Part 15

These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment. The product equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful radio interference, in which case the user will be required to correct the interference at their own expense.

ENERGY STAR®

As an ENERGY STAR® partner, Muratec has determined that this product meets the ENERGY STAR® guidelines for energy efficiency.

What is an ENERGY STAR® program?

The international ENERGY STAR® program is the international program to promote energy efficient consumer products. This program aims the reduction of power consumption of office equipment, of which power are often turned ON for a long time, from the energy saving view that “efficiently use the energy when needed”. It adopts the voluntary system a manufacturer can join by its independent decision.

QuadAccess®

QuadAccess is a more powerful version of what already is a pretty powerful feature, called dual access. While a fax with normal dual access allows you to do two things at once, QuadAccess allows you to do four operations at once.

For example, even if the machine is (1) printing a copy, (2) transmitting from memory and (3) scanning documents for a different memory transmission, you can still (4) program the machine.

Super G3

Super G3 is an extension of Group 3 fax technology standards, allowing the use of high-speed ITU-T V.34 modems for 33.6 Kbps transmission and high-speed protocols for rapid handshaking.

JBIG — Joint Bi-level Image experts Group, the new ITU-T standard image data compression method. As JBIG compresses the data more efficiently than MMR, it is especially effective when transmitting halftone

(grayscale) image document.
