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

■
For PLUG CABLE EQUIPMENT, the socket-outlet should be installed near the

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.
