Important Safety Information
Always be careful when using the machine. To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock,
and other injuries, keep these safety considerations in mind when installing, using, and
maintaining your machine:
Stability: Place the machine on a secure, stable surface. The machine can cause serious
damage if it falls.
Power Supply: Provide the correct power to the machine, as listed on its back. If you
are not sure of the type of power that is supplied to your home or office, call your
electric company.
Grounding: It must be plugged into a grounded outlet for your safety. If you can’t
insert the plug into your wall outlet easily, the outlet should be inspected by a qualified
electrician.
Overload: Don’t plug too many electrical devices into a wall outlet or extension cord.
An overloaded outlet is a fire and electrical shock hazard.
Cleaning: Before cleaning the machine, unplug it from both the power outlet and the
telephone jack. Clean exposed parts with a soft cloth slightly dampened with water.
Thunderstorms: Unplug electrical appliances during thunderstorms. Avoid using any
telephone (except a cordless model) during a thunderstorm, since there’s a small chance
you could get an electrical shock from lightning.
Gas Leaks: Never use a telephone close to a gas leak. If you think gas is leaking, call the
gas company immediately, but use a telephone far away from the leak area. A small
electrical spark in the telephone could cause a fire.

FCC Information
The following information is only applicable to facsimile machines installed in the United
States of America.
Label Identification
This equipment complies with Part 68 of the FCC rules. On the rear of this equipment is a
label that contains, among other information, the FCC Registration Number and Ringer
Equivalence Number (REN) for this equipment. You may need to provide this
information to your telephone company.
Type of Service
This equipment is designed to be used on standard device telephone lines. Connection to
a telephone company-provided coin service (central office implemented systems) is
prohibited. Connection to party-line service is subject to state tariffs.
Telephone Company Procedure
The goal of the telephone company is to provide you with the best service possible. In
order to do this, it may occasionally be necessary for it to make changes in this equipment,
operation, or procedures. If these changes affect your service or the operation of the
equipment, the telephone company will give you notice in writing, to allow you to make
any changes necessary to maintain uninterrupted service.
If you have any questions about your telephone line, such as how many pieces of
equipment you can connect to it, the telephone company will provide this information
upon request.
In certain circumstances, it may be necessary for the telephone company to request
information from you concerning the equipment you have connected to your telephone
line. Upon request of the telephone company, provide the FCC Registration Number and
the Ringer Equivalence Number (REN) of the equipment that is connected to your line;
both of these items are listed on the equipment label. The sum of all of the RENs on your
telephone line should be less than five in order to ensure proper service from the
telephone company. In some cases, a sum of five may not be usable on a given line.
About Interference
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital
device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide
reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This
equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed
and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio
communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a
particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or
PREFACE i
PREFACE
television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the
user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following
measures:
Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
Increase the separation between the equipment and the receiver.
Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the
receiver is connected.
Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
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 fax 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 date and time it is sent and an
identification of the business or other entity, or other individual sending the message and
the telephone number of the sending machine or such business, other entity, or
individual. In order to program this information into your fax machine, you should
complete the steps on page 2.7.
If a Problem Arises
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. If the
telephone company notes a problem, it may temporarily discontinue service. When
practical, the telephone company will notify you in advance of the disconnection. If
advance notice is not feasible, you will be notified as soon as possible. When you are
notified, you will be given the opportunity to correct the problem and informed of your
right to file a complaint with the FCC.
Hearing Aid compatible
The telephone handset attached to this equipment is hearing aid compatible.
Lightning
Your unit has built-in protection circuits, which meet or exceed FCC requirements, to
reduce the risk of damage from surges in telephone line currents. However, lightning
striking near or on these lines can cause an excessive surge of voltage that can damage the
phone.
Lightning damage is uncommon. However, if you are concerned about it or live in an area
with frequent and/or severe electrical storms, we suggest that you unplug your electronic
equipment during the storms.
