The equipment has been approved in accordance with Council Decision 98/482/EC for pan-European single terminal connection to the public switched telephone network (PSTN). However, due to differences between the individual PSTNs provided in different countries, the approval does not, of itself, give an unconditional assurance of successful operation on every PSTN network termination point. In the event of problems, you should contact your equipment supplier in the first instance.

Dieses Geraet wurde gemaess der Entscheidung 98/482/EG des Rates europaweit zur Anschaltung als einzelne Endeinrichtung an das oeffentliche Fernsprechnetz zugelassen. Aufgrund der zwischen den oeffentlichen Fernsprechnetzen verschiedener Staaten bestehenden Unterschiede stellt diese Zulassung an sich jedoch keine unbedingte Gewaehr fuer einen erfolgreichen Betrieb des Geraets an jedem Netzabschlusspunkt dar. Falls beim Betrieb Probleme auftreten, sollten Sie sich zunaechst an ihren Fachhaendler wenden.

Este equipo ha sido homologado de conformidad con la Decisión 98/482/CE del Consejo para la conexión paneuropea de un terminal simple a la red telefónica pública conmutada (RTPC). No obstante, a la vista de las diferencias que existen entre las RTPC que se ofrecen en diferentes países, la homologación no constituye por sí sola una garantía incondicional de funcionamiento satisfactorio en todos los puntos de terminación de la red de una RTPC. En caso de surgir algún problema, procede ponerse en contacto en primer lugar con el proveedor del equipo.

Cet équipement a reçu l'agrément, conformément à la décision 98/482/CE du Conseil, concernant la connexion paneuropéenne de terminal unique aux réseaux téléphoniques publics commutés (RTPC). Toutefois, comme il existe des différences d'un pays à l'autre entre les RTPC, l'agrément en soi ne constitue pas une garantie absolue de fonctionnement optimal à chaque point de terminaison du réseau RTPC. En cas de problème, vous devez contacter en premier lieu votre fournisseur.

La presente apparecchiatura terminale è stata approvata in conformità della decisione 98/482/CE del Consiglio per la connessione paneuropea come terminale singolo ad una rete analogica PSTN. A causa delle differenze tra le reti dei differenti paesi, l'approvazione non garantisce però di per sé il funzionamento corretto in tutti i punti di terminazione di rete PSTN. In caso di problemi contattare in primo luogo il fornitore del prodotto.

Dit apparaat is goedgekeurd volgens Beschikking 98/482/EG van de Raad voor de pan-Europese aansluiting van enkelvoudige eindapparatuur op het openbare geschakelde telefoonnetwerk (PSTN). Gezien de verschillen tussen de individuele PSTN's in de verschillende landen, biedt deze goedkeuring op zichzelf geen onvoorwaardelijke garantie voor een succesvolle werking op elk PSTN-netwerkaansluitpunt. Neem bij problemen in eerste instantie contact op met de leverancier van het apparaat.

Este equipamento foi aprovado para ligação pan-europeia de um único terminal à rede telefónica pública comutada (RTPC) nos termos da Decisão 98/482/CE. No entanto, devido às diferenças existentes entre as RTPC dos diversos países, a aprovação não garante incondicionalmente, por si só, um funcionamento correcto em todos os pontos terminais da rede da RTPC. Em caso de problemas, deve entrar-se em contacto, em primeiro lugar, com o fornecedor do equipamento.

Tämä laite on hyväksytty neuvoston päätöksen 98/482/EY mukaisesti liitettäväksi yksittäisenä laitteena yleiseen kytkentäiseen puhelinverkkoon (PSTN) EU:n jäsenvaltioissa. Eri maiden yleisten kytkentäisten puhelinverkkojen välillä on kuitenkin eroja, joten hyväksyntä ei sellaisenaan takaa häiriötöntä toimintaa kaikkien yleisten kytkentäisten puhelinverkkojen liityntäpisteissä. Ongelmien ilmetessä ottakaa viipymättä yhteyttä laitteen toimittajaan.

Utrustningen har godkänts i enlighet med rådets beslut 98/482/EG för alleuropeisk anslutning som enskild terminal till det allmänt tillgängliga kopplade telefonnätet (PSTN). På grund av de skillnader som finns mellan telefonnätet i olika länder utgör godkännandet emellertid inte i sig självt en absolut garanti för att utrustningen kommer att fungera tillfredsställande vid varje nätsanslutningspunkt i telefonnätet. Om problem uppstår bör ni i första hand kontakta leverantören av utrustningen.

Udstyret er i henhold til Rådets beslutning 98/482/EF EU-godkendt til at blive opkoblet på de offentlige telefonnet som enkeltforbundet terminal. På grund af forskelle mellem de offentlige telefonnet i de forskellige lande giver godkendelsen dog ikke i sig selv ubetinget garanti for, at udstyret kan fungere korrekt på samtlige nettermineringspunkter på de offentlige telefonnet. I tilfælde af problemer bør De i første omgang henvende Dem til leverandøren af udstyret.

Utstyret er i henhold til rådsdirektiv 98/482/EF godkjent for tilkopling til det offentlige telefonnett. På grunn av forskjeller mellom de offentlige telefonnettene i forskjellige land, gir godkjennelsen ikke i seg selv noen garanti for at utstyret fungerer korrekt på samtlige nettermineringspunkt. Hvis det skulle oppstå problemer i forbindelse med bruken av utstyret, bør i første omgang utstyrsleverandøren kontaktes.

Ο εξοπλισμός έχει εγκριθεί για πανευρωπαϊκή σύνδεση μεμονωμένου τερματικού με το δημόσιο τηλεφωνικό δίκτυο μεταγωγής (PSTN), σύμφωνα με την απόφαση 98/482/ΕΚ του Συμβουλίου 7 ωστόσο, επειδή υπάρχουν διαφορές μεταξύ των επιμέρους PSTN που παρέχονται σε διάφορες χώρες, η έγκριση δεν παρέχει αφ' εαυτής ανεπιφύλακτη εξασφάλιση επιτυχούς λειτουργίας σε

κάθε σημείο απόληξης του δικτύου PSTN. Εάν ανακύψουν προβλήματα, θα πρέπει κατ' αρχάς να απευθύνεστε στον προμηθευτή του εξοπλισμού σας.

Important safety information

Be sure to save these instructions!

When using your facsimile equipment, basic safety precautions should always be followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock and injury to persons, including the following:

• 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 V, 50 Hz, earthed (3prong) outlet. Connecting it to any other kind of outlet will 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.

• Use only the power cord provided with the facsimile machine. Do not use an AC extension cord.

all-FO4700.book Page 5 Tuesday, November 9, 1999 11:35 AM

• 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.

• 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 safely 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.

• 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.

Confidential reception

When another fax machine sends you a document by confidential transmission, your fax machine holds it in memory instead of immediately printing it out. The document cannot be printed out until you enter the correct passcode.

Your fax has 10 "mailboxes" in which confidential documents can be received. Each mailbox has its own passcode, allowing up to 10 different people or groups to each receive their own confidential documents. The mailboxes are identified by 2-digit numbers.

Programming the confidential passcode

To receive a confidential document, you must first program a 2-digit mailbox number and a 4-digit passcode.

Relay Request

Relay Request allows you to send a document to another fax machine and have that fax machine in turn broadcast the document to a group of other fax machines. This function is useful when the relay fax machine is closer to the end fax machines than your fax machine, as it reduces telephone line costs.

Important:

Relay Request can only be used if the intermediate relay machine is a Sharp machine having the Relay Broadcast function.

Storing a relay group

To make a relay request, you must first store a relay group. This consists of the fax number of the intermediate relay machine and the fax numbers of the end receiving machines. Up to 10 different relay groups can be stored.

♦

Fax numbers of the end receiving machines can be entered as Rapid Key numbers, Speed Dial numbers, and/or Group Key numbers if they have been programmed as such

in the relay machine

(not in your fax machine). Check with the operator of the relay machine for these numbers.

♦

The total number of end receiving machines which can be entered varies with the model used as the intermediate relay machine. Check with the operator of the relay machine to find out how many receiving machines can be entered.

♦

A maximum of 400 digit spaces are available in your fax machine’s memory for storing the numbers of end receiving machines. The number of spaces occupied by each number depends on what kind of number it is:
