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 phone
company. Both numbers are shown on
the bottom of your fax machine.
Note: You must not connect your fax
machine to:
• Coin-operated systems
• Party-line systems
• Most electronic key phone sys-
tems
Important: The Telephone Consumer
Protection Act of 1991 makes it unlaw-
ful for any person to use a computer or
other electronic device to send any
message via telephone fax machine,
unless the message clearly contains in
a margin at the top or bottom of each
transmitted page or on the first page of
the transmission:
• The date, time, identification of the
business, individual, or other
entity
• The telephone number of the
sending machine.
To program this information into your
fax machine, see Page 13.
THE FCC WANTS YOU
TO KNOW
In the unlikely event that your fax ma-
chine causes problems on the phone
line, the phone company can discon-
nect your service. The phone company
attempts to notify you in advance. If
advance notice is not practical, the
phone company notifies you of your
right to file a complaint with the FCC.
Also, the phone company can make
changes to its lines, equipment, opera-
tions, or procedures that could affect
the operation of your telephone equip-
ment. The phone company notifies you
of these changes in advance, so you
can take steps to prevent interruption
of your phone service.
LIGHTNING
Your fax machine has built-in protec-
tion circuits to reduce the risk of dam-
age from surges in phone and power
line current. These protection circuits
meet or exceed FCC requirements.
However, lightning striking the phone
line or power lines can damage your
fax machine.
Lightning damage is not common.
Nevertheless, if you live in an area that
has frequent electrical storms, we sug-
gest that you unplug your fax machine
during storms to reduce the possibility
of damage.
