Chapter Safety Instructions 5
Neither telephone nor fax will operate during power
¿failure.
Never open the toner cartridge. If toner dust es-
¿capes, you should avoid allowing it to contact your
skin and eyes. Store both new and used cartridges in a
place where they will not come into the hands of chil-
dren. In case of a paper jam, do not forcefully remove the
paper, but rather carefully pull it out of the fax machine
and throw it away carefully: It is possible that the toner
may not be completely set on the print-out, and toner
dust could be released into the air. Do not inhale the
released toner dust. Remove the toner dust from clothing
or objects with cold water; hot water would only cause
the toner to set.
If the LCD should break, a mildly caustic liquid can
escape. Absolutely avoid all contact with your skin and
eyes.
Your fax machine has been tested in conformity
¿with standards EN 60950-1 and IEC 60950-1 and
should only be operated with telephone systems and
power equipment that meet these standards. Th is fax ma-
chine was built exclusively for use in the indicated sales
region. It conforms to the regulations of the telephone
company of the country. Do not perform any other
adjustments and do not carry out any other procedures
apart from those described in this user manual.
à Laser-Safety
Your fax machine operates with laser beams. Only a
qualifi ed service technician should open the fax machine
and carry out service operations; otherwise there is a risk
of eye injuries resulting from both visible and invisible
laser radiation.
