INSTALLATION
The Telephone Consumer Protection
Act of 1991 makes it illegal to use a
computer or other electronic device to
send a message via a fax machine un-
less the message clearly contains in a
margin at the top or bottom of each
transmitted page or on the first page:
• The transmission’s date and time
• The name of the individual, busi-
ness, or other entity sending the
message
• The sending machine or business’
phone number
To program this information into your
TFX-1031, complete the steps in “En-
tering Basic Information” on Page 11.
We designed your fax machine to con-
form to federal regulations, and you
can connect it to most phone lines.
However, each fax machine (and oth-
er device, such as a phone or answer-
ing machine) that you connect to the
phone line draws power. We refer to
this power draw as the ringer equiva-
lence number, or REN. The REN is on
the fax machine’s bottom panel.
If you use more than one phone or
other device on the line, add up all the
RENs. If the total is more than five,
phones might not ring. In rural areas,
a total of three might impair ringer op-
eration. If ringer operation is impaired,
disconnect a device from the line.
FCC STATEMENT
Your fax machine complies with Part
68 of
FCC Rules. You must, upon re-
quest, provide the FCC registration
number and the REN to your tele-
phone company. Both numbers are
shown on the fax machine’s bottom
panel.
Note: You must not connect your fax
machine to:
• Coin-operated systems
• Party-line systems
• Most electronic key systems
