Important safety information
Be sure to save these instructions!
When using your facsimile equipment, basic safety precautions
should always be followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock
and injury to persons, including the following:
• Do not disassemble this machine or attempt any procedures not
described in this manual. Refer all servicing to qualified service per-
sonnel.
• This machine must only be connected to a 220-240 V, 50/60 Hz,
earthed (3-prong) outlet. Connecting it to any other kind of outlet will
damage the machine.
• 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.

• Use only the power cord provided with the facsimile machine. Do not
use an AC extension cord.
• Unplug the machine from the telephone socket and then the power out-
let 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.
• 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 safely 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.
• Avoid using a telephone (other than a cordless type) during an electri-
cal 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 socket-outlet must be installed near the equipment and must be
easily accessible.
