Choosing a Location
Place your fax machine on a flat, stable surface, such as a desk. Select a place that is
free of vibration and shocks. Locate the fax machine near a telephone jack and a
standard, grounded power outlet.
Avoid placing your machine in a high-traffic area. Do not place near heaters, air
conditioners, water, chemicals or refrigerators. Do not expose the fax machine to
direct sunlight, excessive heat, moisture or dust. Do not connect your machine to
electrical outlets controlled by wall switches or automatic timers. Disruption of
power can wipe out information in the unit’s memory. Do not connect your machine
to electrical outlets on the same circuit as large appliances or other equipment that
might disrupt the power supply. Avoid interference sources, such as speakers or the
base units of cordless phones.
