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.
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.
