Introduction
• Unplug the FAX from the wall outlet and contact your local authorised Canon
dealer or the Canon help line in any of the following cases:
– When the power cord or plug is damaged or frayed.
– If liquid has spilled into the unit.
– If the unit has been exposed to rain or water.
– If the unit does not operate normally when you have followed the instructions
in this guide. Adjust only those controls that are covered by the instructions in
this guide. Improper adjustment of other controls may result in damage and
may require extensive work by a qualified technician to restore the product to
normal operation.
– If the unit has been dropped or the cabinet has been damaged.
– If the unit exhibits a distinct change in performance, indicating a need for
servicing.
■Location
• Place the FAX on a flat, stable, vibrationfree surface that is strong enough to
support its weight (approx. 10 kg).
• Place the FAX in a cool, dry, clean, well ventilated place.
– Make sure the area is free from dust.
– Make sure the location is not affected by extreme temperature changes, and
always stays between 10°C and 32.5°C.
– Make sure the area’s relative humidity is always between 20% and 80%.
• Keep the FAX away from direct sunlight as this can damage it. If you have to
place it near a window, install heavy curtains or blinds.
• Do not use the FAX near water. Make sure that no wet or humid objects come
into contact with the unit.
• Do not use or store the FAX outdoors.
• Do not install the FAX near devices that contain magnets or generate magnetic
fields, such as speakers.
• If possible, place the FAX near an existing telephone line outlet for easy
connection of the telephone line cord, and to avoid the expense of installing a
new outlet.
• Place the FAX near a standard 200240 V AC (5060 Hz) power outlet.
• To ensure reliable operation of the FAX and to protect it from overheating
(which can cause it to operate abnormally and create a fire risk), do not block the
exhaust vent. Never block or cover any openings on the unit by placing it on a
bed, sofa, rug, or other similar surface. Do not place the unit in a cupboard or
builtin installation, or near a radiator or other heat source unless proper
ventilation is provided. Leave approximately 10 cm space around all sides of the
unit. For the dimensions of the FAX, see p. A2.
