Important Precautions and Safety Information
When using your Samsung fax machine, these basic safety precautions should always be followed to
reduce risk of fire, electric shock, and injury to persons:
1. Read and understand all instructions.
2. Use common sense whenever operating electrical appliances.
3. Follow all warnings and instructions marked on the product and in the literature accompanying
the product.
4. If an operating instruction appears to conflict with safety information, heed the safety information.
You may have misunderstood the operating instruction. If you cannot resolve the conflict, contact
any SAMSUNG sales or service representative for assistance.
5. Unplug your SAMSUNG fax machine from the AC wall socket and telephone jack before cleaning.
Do not use liquid or aerosol cleaners. Use only a damp cloth for cleaning.
6. Do not place your SAMSUNG fax machine on an unstable cart, stand, or table. The product may
fall, causing serious damage.
7. Your SAMSUNG fax machine should never be placed on, near, or over a radiator, heater, air
conditioner, or ventilation duct.
8. Do not allow anything to rest on the power or telephone cords. Do not locate your SAMSUNG fax
machine where the cords will be abused by persons walking on them.
9. Do not overload wall outlets and extension cords as this can diminish performance, and may result
in the risk of fire or electric shock.
10. Do not allow pets to chew on the AC power or telephone cords.
11. Never push objects of any kind into your SAMSUNG fax machine through case or cabinet
openings as they may touch dangerous voltage points creating a risk of fire or shock. Never spill
liquid of any kind on or into your SAMSUNG fax machine.
12. To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not disassemble your SAMSUNG fax machine. Take it to a
qualified service technician when repair work is required. Opening or removing covers may
expose you to dangerous voltages or other risks. Incorrect reassembly could cause electric shock
when the unit is subsequently used.
13. Unplug this unit from the telephone jack and AC wall outlet, and refer servicing to qualified
service personnel under the following conditions:
¥ When any part of the AC power cord, plug, or connecting cable is damaged or frayed.
¥ If liquid has been spilled into the product.
¥ If the product has been exposed to rain or water.
¥ If the product does not operate properly after instructions have been followed.
¥ If the product has been dropped, or the cabinet appears damaged.
¥ If the product exhibits a sudden and distinct change in performance.
14. Adjust only those controls that are covered by the operating instructions. Improper adjustment of
other controls may result in damage, and will often require extensive work by a qualified
technician to restore the product to normal operation.

15.Avoid using your SAMSUNG fax machine during a lightning storm. There may be a remote risk
of electric shock from lightning. If prudent, unplug the AC power and telephone cords for the
duration of the lightning storm.
16.This product contains a recyclable battery. At the end of its useful life, under various state and
local laws, it may be illegal to dispose of this battery into the municipal waste stream. Check with
your local solid waste officials for details regarding recycling options or proper disposal.
17.Never dispose of batteries or battery packs in a fire. There is a serious risk of explosion and/or
the release of highly toxic chemicals.
18.Do not use the machineÕs telephone to report a gas leak if you can smell gas near the machine.
Normal operation of any telephone can cause an explosion if it occurs in a heavy concentration of gas.
19.SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
In Case of Interference
In normal operation, your SAMSUNG fax machine produces and uses radio-frequency energy. In
some cases, this can cause interference to other electronic equipment. Part 15 of the FCC rules
establishes guidelines limiting the amount of radio-frequency energy which may be produced by
electronic equipment. Tests have proven that your Samsung FAX machine meets or exceeds these
guidelines, and is classified a ÒClass B Digital DeviceÓ for operation in a residential environment.
When installed and operated according to instructions, your SAMSUNG fax machine should not
cause interference to the types of equipment expected to be found in a normal residential
environment.
Unauthorized changes or modifications could void the userÕs authority to operate the equipment.
In the event your SAMSUNG fax machine appears to cause interference to other electronic
equipment, it can often be easily remedied. First determine if the source of interference really is your
FAX machine. To do this, turn its power off and on while observing the equipment experiencing the
interference. If the interference disappears when you turn the FAX machine off, the following steps
can be very effective in correcting interference problems:
¥ Connect the FAX machine to an AC outlet which is on a different circuit breaker from the
equipment experiencing interference.
¥ Increase the distance between the FAX machine and the equipment experiencing interference.
¥ Cable TV amplifiers and splitters are extremely prone to interference. Be certain that they are as
far as possible from the FAX machine and its AC power and telephone cords.
¥ Replace Òtwin leadÓ antenna wire with shielded coaxial cable, and use proper connectors and
adaptors.
¥ Turn or relocate the receiving antenna. In most cases this is easily done by simply moving a
radio. A TV antenna may need to be re-oriented or installed in another area of the building.
¥ Consult your dealer, a reputable radio/TV technician, or an Amateur Radio Operator* for help.
*To locate an Amateur Radio Operator in your area, contact The American Radio Relay League, 610 Main St., Newington, CT 06111.

Fax Branding
The Telephone Consumer Protection Act of 1991 makes it unlawful for any person to use a computer
or other electronic device to send any message via a telephone facsimile machine unless such
message clearly contains in a margin at the top or bottom of each transmitted page or on the first
page of the transmission the following information:
(1) the date and time of transmission
(2) identification of either business, business entity or individual sending the message; and
(3) telephone number of either the sending machine, business, business entity or individual.
See page 2.6 for instructions on how to enter this information into your Samsung FAX machineÕs
memory.
The Telephone Company may make changes in its communications facilities, equipment operations,
or procedures where such action is reasonably required in the operation of its business and is not
inconsistent with the rules and regulations in FCC Part 68. If such changes can be reasonably
expected to render any customer terminal equipment incompatible with telephone company
communications facilities, or require modification or alteration of such terminal equipment, or
otherwise materially affect its use or performance, the customer shall be given adequate notice in
writing, to allow the customer an opportunity to maintain uninterrupted service.
Telephone Company Information
FCC IDENTIFICATION NUMBER
The Ringer Equivalence Number and FCC Registration Number for this equipment may be found on
the label located on the bottom or rear of the machine. In some instances you may need to provide
these numbers to the telephone company.
RINGER EQUIVALENCE NUMBER
The Ringer Equivalence Number (REN) is a measure of the electrical load placed on the telephone
line, and is useful for determining whether you have ÒoverloadedÓ the line. Installing several types
of equipment on the same telephone line may result in problems making and receiving telephone
calls, especially ringing when your line is called. The sum of all Ringer Equivalence Numbers of the
equipment on your telephone line should be less than five in order to assure proper service from the
telephone company. In some cases, a sum of five may not be usable on your line. If any of your
telephone equipment is not operating properly, you should immediately remove it from your
telephone line, as it may cause harm to the telephone network.
WARNING:
FCC Regulations state that changes or modifications to this equipment not expressly approved by the
manufacturer could void the userÕs authority to operate this equipment.
In the event that terminal equipment causes harm to the telephone network, the telephone company
should notify the customer that service may be stopped. However, where prior notice is impractical,
the company may temporarily cease service, providing that they:
a) Promptly notify the customer.
b) Give the customer an opportunity to correct the equipment problem.
c) Inform the customer of the right to bring a complaint to the Federal Communication
Commission pursuant to procedures set out in FCC Rules and Regulations Subpart E of Part 68.

You should also know that:
¥ Your Samsung FAX machine is not designed to be connected to a digital PBX system.
¥ Special features, such as ÒCall WaitingÓ, may interrupt FAX service, and we suggest that these
services not be installed on the FAX line.
¥ If you intend to use a computer modem or fax modem on the same phone line as your FAX
machine, you may experience transmission and reception problems with all the equipment. It is
recommended that no other equipment, except for a regular telephone, share the line with your
FAX machine.
¥ If your area experiences a high incidence of lightning or power surges, we recommend that you
install surge protectors for both the power and the telephone lines. Surge protectors can be
purchased from your dealer or telephone and electronic specialty stores.
¥ When programming emergency numbers and/or making test calls to emergency numbers, use a
non-emergency number to advise the emergency service dispatcher of your intentions. The
dispatcher will give you further instructions on how to actually test the emergency number.
¥ This equipment may not be used on coin service or party lines.
¥ This telephone provides magnetic coupling to hearing aids.
¥ You may safely connect this equipment to the telephone network by means of a standard
modular jack, USOC RJ-11C.
