Please keep these instructions for later reference and read them before attempting any

maintenance.

Note

If there are faxes in the machine’s memory, you need to print them or save them before you

unplug the machine from the AC power outlet.

WARNING

There are high voltage electrodes inside the machine. Before you clean the inside of the

machine, make sure you have unplugged the telephone line cord first and then the power cord

from the AC power outlet. Doing this will prevent an electrical shock.

DO NOT handle the plug with wet hands. Doing this might cause an electrical shock.

Always make sure the plug is fully inserted.

DO NOT pull on the middle of the AC power cord. Doing this might cause an electrical shock.

DO NOT put your hands on the edge of the machine under the document cover or the scanner

cover. Doing this may cause injury.
