Location and Connections

Caution

■

Never install telephone wiring during a lightning storm.

■

We recommend that this product be used with a surge protection device to protect the 
product against lightning storms.

■

Never install a telephone jack in a wet location unless the jack is specifically designed 
for a wet location.

■

Never touch telephone wires or terminals that are not insulated unless the telephone 
line has been disconnected at the network interface.

■

Use caution when installing or modifying telephone lines.

■

Avoid using a telephone (other than a cordless type) during an electrical storm. There 
may be a remote risk of electric shock from lightning.

■

Do not use the telephone to report a gas leak in the vicinity of the leak.

■

For PLUG CABLE EQUIPMENT, the socket-outlet should be installed near the 
equipment and should be easily accessible.

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.
