Important safety information
For your safety, if any of your equipment is not operating properly or should any physical
damage occur to the equipment where internal parts may become exposed, the
equipment should be immediately disconnected from the phone line and then the power
line and returned to a SHARP authorised Service Centre for inspection, repair, or
disposal.
Installing or modifying telephone lines should only be done by an ACA licensed
serviceman.
This facsimile machine is designed for use in Australia only.
Do not disassemble this machine or attempt any procedures not described in this
manual. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.
Do not install or use the machine near water, or when you are wet. For example, do not
use the machine near a bath tub, wash bowl, kitchen sink or laundry tub, in a wet
basement, or near a swimming pool. Take care not to spill any liquids on the machine.
Unplug the machine from the power outlet and consult a qualified service representative
if any of the following situations occur:
- Liquid has been spilled into the machine or the machine has been
exposed to rain or water.
- The machine produces odours, smoke, or unusual noises.
- The power cord is frayed or damaged.
- The machine has been dropped or the housing damaged.
Do not allow anything to rest on the power cord, and do not install the machine where
people may walk on the power cord.
This machine must only be connected to a 230-240 V, 50 Hz, earthed (3-prong) outlet.
Connecting it to any other kind of outlet will damage the machine.
Never insert objects of any kind into slots or openings on the machine. This could create
a risk of fire or electric shock. If an object falls into the machine that you cannot remove,
unplug the machine and consult a qualified service representative.
Do not place this machine on an unstable cart, stand or table. The machine could be
seriously damaged if it falls.
Never install telephone wiring during a lightning storm.
Never install telephone sockets in wet locations unless the socket is specifically designed
for wet locations.
Never touch bare telephone wires or terminals unless the telephone line has been
disconnected at the network interface.
Use caution when installing or modifying telephone lines.
Avoid using a telephone (other than a cordless type) during an electrical storm. There
may be a remote risk of electric shock from lightning.
4
Do not use a telephone to report a gas leak in the vicinity of the leak.
The power outlet must be installed near the equipment and must be easily accessible.

and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause
interference. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a
particular installation.
If this equipment does cause 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.
