As a part of our policy of continuous improvement, SHARP reserves the right to make design
and specification changes for product improvement without prior notice. The performance
specification figures indicated are nominal values of production units. There may be some
deviations from these values in individual units.
Important:
This fax 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.
The fax machine is not compatible with digital telephone systems.
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 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 230 V, 50 Hz, earthed (3-prong) 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.
Never install telephone sockets in wet locations unless the socket is specifically
designed for wet locations.
3
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.
This displays messages and prompts to help you operate the machine.
