INSTALLATION
We have designed your fax machine to
conform to federal regulations, and
you can connect it to mos t telephone
lines. However, each device that you
connect to the phone line draws power
from the phone line. We refer to this
power draw as the device’s Ringer
Equivalence Number, or REN (the
REN is shown on the back of your fax
machine).
If you are using more than one phone
or other device on t he line, add up all
the RENs. If the total is more than five,
your phones might not ring. In rural areas, a total REN of three might im pair
ringer operation. If ringer o peration is
impaired, disconnect one of the devices from the line.

• Coin-operated systems
• Party-line syste ms
• Most electronic key phone systems
Important:
Protection Act of 1991 makes it unlawful for any person to use a c omputer or
other electronic device to send any
message via telephone fax machine,
unless the message clearly contains in
a margin at the top or bottom of each
transmitted page or on the first page of

The Telephone Consumer
THE FCC WANTS YOU
TO KNOW
In the unlikely ev ent that you r fax machine causes problems on the phone
line, the phone company can disconnect your service. The phone company
attempts to notify you in advance. If
advance notice is not practical, the
phone company notifies you of your
right to file a complaint with the FCC.
Also, the phone company can make
changes to its lines, equipment, operations, or procedures that could affect
the operation of your telephone equ ipment. The phone company notifies you
of these changes in advance, so you
can take steps to prevent interruption
of your phone service.
LIGHTNING
Your fax machine has built-in protection circuits to reduce the risk of damage from surges in phone and power
line current. These protection circuits
meet or exceed FCC requirements.
However, lightning striking the pho ne
line or power lines can damage your
fax machine.
Lightning damage is not common.
Nevertheless, if you live in an area that
has frequent electrical storms, we suggest that you unplug your fax machi ne
during s torm s to redu ce the po ssi bility
of damage.

CHOOSING A LOCATION
Select a location for your fax machine
that:
• Is not in direct sunlight.
• Is near an AC power outlet and
modular phone line jack.
• Is at least 4 inches from other
objects.
• Is not near heating or air conditioner units.
• Does not block the ventilation
openings.
• Keeps cords out of the way of normal activities.
Also note these important considerations:
• Do not place objects on top of or
under the fax machine.
• Do not place the fax machine on a
rugged surface or on thick carpet
which might cause a jam when
you feed a document.

• Store copies away from direct
sunlight and at a temperature
below 94°F. Direct sunlight and
high heat can fade the image.
• Avoid storing thermal copies next
to blueprint (diazo) copies and
plastic film or binders. The chemicals in these materials could fade
the image.
