Getting started
Pick an installation spot first
Where should you install your fax machine? The location should be:
• Clean — Dust buildup can damage your machine.
• In the open — Allow at least 12 inches of clearance around your machine.
Never cover the machine. Its vents must be able to “breathe.”
• Away from direct sunlight — This helps avoid overheating.
• Dry — Avoid any location where splatters or sprays of liquid could reach your
fax machine.
• Level, and vibration-free.
• Near a phone jack — Your fax machine uses a standard telephone jack, also
known as an RJ-11.
• Near an
AC
power outlet — Allow plenty of slack for your fax machine’s power
cord. It should never be stretch to its 5-foot limit.
Power tips
• Use a standard three-pronged 120
VAC
outlet.
• Make sure the outlet isn’t controlled by a wall
switch. If it is, you will risk inadvertent shutoffs of your
machine, causing you to lose fax messages.
• Don’t use an outlet which also is supplying power
to a large appliance, such a refrigerator or air condi-
tioner. Such high-consumption appliances can cause
(temporary drops in the power available for other equip-
ment which could damage your fax machine.
• Use an electrical surge suppressor, which guards
both telephone and electrical lines. This device helps to
shield your fax machine from damaging high-voltage
electrical surges.
Note: To turn off the power to your fax machine,you have to unplug the power
cord from the wall socket or remove the power cord from the rear of the
machine. For convenience, install the fax machine so that there is easy
access to the power outlet.
