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.
