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 ACMA 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. Do not spill any liquids on the machine.
Unplug the machine from the power outlet and telephone socket 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.
This machine must only be connected to a
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.

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 power outlet must be installed near the equipment and must be easily accessible.
WARNING NOTICE:
NO calls can be made to or from this fax machine during a mains power failure.
WARNING: Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA) regulations state
that no unauthorised changes or modifications to this equipment are permitted.
Note: Complies with ACMA standard AS/NZS CISPR22 regarding emission of
electromagnetic interference.
These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against interference in an
installation. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy
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.
- 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.
The Ringer Equivalence Number (REN) for this equipment is written on the back of the
machine. The sum of all Ringer Equivalence Numbers (REN's) on your telephone line
should not exceed 3 to assure correct service from your telephone company.

Using the machine with an
existing answering system
If you have an answering system (in a
phone or other device) connected to
the same line as the machine and you
want to receive both faxes and voice
messages while you are out, follow
these steps.
1 Make sure that the machine’s Fax
Signal Receive setting is set to
YES (page 28). (This enables the
machine to automatically begin fax
reception if it detects a fax tone
after the answering system
answers a call.)
2 Make sure your answering
system’s greeting is no longer than
20 seconds, and insert several
seconds of silence at the beginning
of the greeting. (This will allow the
machine to clearly detect fax tones
when a fax is being sent.)
3 When you go out, make sure the
machine is set to TEL mode (press
until TEL appears in the
display
). (The machine should not
automatically answer calls; only the
answering system should answer.)
Reception to Memory
The machine is set to initially receive
faxes to memory and then automatically
print them out.
This allows reception to take place even
if there is no paper in the paper tray, or
when a problem occurs that prevents
printing such as no imaging film or a
paper jam. Received faxes are held in
memory until paper is loaded in the tray
or the printing problem is resolved. After
you load paper or otherwise resolve the
problem, press to print the
faxes.
♦ When there is no paper in the tray and
a fax has been received to memory,
[ADD PAPER & ]/[PRESS START KEY] will appear. If a printing problem
has occurred, a message indicating
the problem will appear in the display.
♦ Received faxes are automatically
cleared from memory after they are
printed out.
♦ If the memory becomes full, fax
reception will not be possible (see
“Memory capacity” on page 2 for the
number of pages that can be held in
memory).
♦ When receiving a halftone fax, the
memory may become full before
reception is completed ([MEMORY IS FULL] will appear). In this case,

is about 5 years. If the battery dies,
have your dealer or retailer replace it.
Do not try to replace it yourself.

A line error occurs when your machine cannot
communicate correctly with another fax machine. The
error is usually due to a problem on the phone line.
Try faxing again. If unsuccessful, check the following:
• Check the connection. The cord from the TEL. LINE
socket to the wall socket should be no longer than two
meters.
• Make sure there are no modem devices sharing the
same telephone line.
• Check with the other party to make sure their fax
machine is functioning properly.
• Have your telephone line checked for line noise.
• Try connecting the machine to a different phone line.
• If the error persists, the machine may need service.
