Getting started
Pick an installation spot
Where should you install your fax machine? The location should be:
Clean Dust buildup can damage your machine. (However, do not use a cover!)
In the open
Allow at least 12 inches of clearance around your machine. Be
sure that you 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 (such as from a water foun-
tain) could reach your fax machine.
Level, and vibration-free.
Near a phone jack
Your fax machine uses a standard (modular) telephone
jack, also known as an RJ -11.
Near an AC power outlet The AC power cord is about 6 feet long when
stretched to its limit, and the power cord should never be stretched to its 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 ll risk occasional shutoffs to the machine, causing you
to lose fax messages.
Don t use an outlet which also is supplying power to a
large appliance, such as a refrigerator or air conditioner.
Such high-consumption appliances can cause draw-downs
(temporary drops in the power available for other equipment on
the circuit) which could damage your fax machine.
Use an electrical surge suppressor, preferably one which guards both tele-
phone and electrical lines. This device helps to shield your fax machine from
damaging high-voltage electrical surges.
Voltage requirements: 120 VAC – 10%, 50 60% Hz.
