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.
• In Australia, installing or modifying telephone lines should only be
done by an ACA licensed serviceman. In New Zealand, installing or
modifying telephone lines should be done in accordance with Telecom wiring practices.
• Do not disassemble this machine or attempt any procedures not
described in this manual. Refer all servicing to qualified service
personnel.
• 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
may damage the machine.
• 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 telephone socket and then 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 odors, 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.
5
• 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.
• Do not use a telephone to report a gas leak in the vicinity of the
leak.
• The socket-outlet must be installed near the equipment and must be
easily accessible.
WARNING NOTICE:
NO calls can be made to or from this fax
during a mains power failure.
WARNING:
Australian Communications Authority (ACA)
regulations state that no unauthorised changes or modifications to this

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.
- Increase the separation between the equipment and the receiver.
- Connect the equipment to an outlet on a different circuit to that
which the receiver is connected.
- Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
For Australia: The Ringer Equivalence Number (REN) for this
equipment is written on the back of the machine.The sum of all the
Ringer Equivalence Numbers (REN's) on your telephone line should
not exceed 3 to assure correct service from your telephone company.
Important:
• This facsimile machine is not designed for use on a line which has
call waiting, call forwarding, or certain other special services
offered by your telephone company. If you attempt to use the fax
machine on a telephone line using any of these services, you may
experience errors during transmission and reception of facsimile
messages.
• This facsimile machine is not compatible with digital telephone systems.
• This facsimile machine is designed to operate in Australia and New
Zealand only.
