Important safety information
• 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 telephone jack 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 120 V, 60 Hz, grounded
(3-prong) outlet. Connecting it to any other kind of outlet will
damage the machine and invalidate the warranty.
3
• 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 jacks in wet locations unless the jack 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 power outlet must be installed near the equipment and must be
easily accessible.
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 in conjunction with 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.
