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 be seriously
damaged if it falls.
• Power supply. Provide correct power to the machine, as listed on the back of the
machine. If you are not sure of the type of power that is supplied to your home or
office, call your electric company.
• Grounding. If the plug has three prongs, it must be plugged into a grounded (three
hole) outlet. Grounded plugs and outlets are designed for your safety – do not try to
make a three-prong plug fit into a two-prong outlet by modifying the plug or outlet in
any way. If you cannot insert the plug into your wall outlet easily, the outlet should be
inspected by a qualified electrician.
• Overload. Do not plug too many electrical devices into a wall outlet or an 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.
Do not use aerosol cleaners.
• Thunderstorms. Unplug electrical appliances during thunderstorms. Avoid using any
telephone (except a cordless model) during a thunderstorm, since there is a small
chance you could get an electrical shock from lightning.
• Gas leaks. Never use any telephone close to a gas leak. If you think gas is leaking, call
the gas company immediately, but use a telephone that is far away from the leakage
area. A small electrical spark in the telephone could cause a fire or explosion.
• Ozone. This product produces ozone during normal operation. The ozone produced is
dependent on copy volume and is heavier than air. If your machine is installed as speci-
fied in the installation procedures, ozone output levels meet safe limits.
