Setting Up
Connecting the Power Cord
Before connecting the power cord, see Power Supply, p.16.
Follow this procedure to connect the power cord:
The FAX has no power switch, so its power is on as long as it is plugged in. Once
connected, though, the unit still needs time to warm up before you can use it. Wait
until the LCD no longer displays
PLEASE WAIT
.
When you connect the power cord to an AC outlet for the first time, DISPLAY
LANGUAGE will appear in the LCD display after PLEASE WAIT. In this case, set
the language for the LCD display and the country** ( p.28).
The FAX is equipped with a threeprong, groundingtype plug provided with a third
(grounding) pin. This plug will only fit into a groundingtype outlet. This is a safety
feature. If you are unable to insert the plug into your outlet, contact an electrician to
replace the outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the groundingtype plug by
breaking off the third prong or using a 3to2 adaptor.*
Do not plug the FAX into the same circuit as an appliance such as an air conditioner,
electric typewriter, television, or copier. Such devices generate electrical noise that
can interfere with your FAX’s ability to send and receive faxes.
Connect the supplied power cord
to the power cord connector. Then
connect the other end into a
properly grounded 200-240 V AC
three-prong outlet.*
* The shape of the plug and outlet vary depending on the cou ntry of purchase.
** The country selection feature is available for certain countries only.
