Selecting a location for the fax machine

To maximize the talking range of the cordless handset, we recommend installing the fax machine in a high and central location away from obstructions such as walls.

High and central location with no obstructions

Do not place the machine in direct sunlight.

Do not place the machine near heaters or air conditioners.

Keep the fax machine away from other electrical appliances such as TVs, microwave ovens, computers, and other cordless phones.

Keep dust away from the machine.

Keep the area around the machine clear.

Connecting the handset

Connect the handset as shown and place it on the handset rest.

♦ The ends of the handset cord are identical, so they will go into either

socket.

Make sure the handset cord goes into the socket marked with a handset symbol on the side of the machine!

Use the handset to make ordinary phone calls, or to transmit and receive faxes manually.

Connecting the power cord

Setting Up

1. Installation

Plug the power cord into a 220 - 240 V, 50/60 Hz, earthed AC (2-prong) outlet.

♦ When disconnecting the fax, unplug the telephone line cord before

unplugging the power cord.

♦ Caution: The power outlet must be installed near the equipment and must

be easily accessible.

The machine does not have a power on/off switch, so the power is turned on and off by simply plugging in or unplugging the power cord.
