Getting started

Setting up

Pick an installation spot first

Where should you install your fax machine? The location should be:

Clean — Dust buildup can damage your machine.

In the open — Allow at least 12 inches of clearance around your machine. Never cover the machine. Its vents must be able to “breathe.”

Away from direct sunlight — This helps avoid overheating.

Dry — Avoid any location where splatters or sprays of liquid could reach your fax machine.

Level, and vibration-free.

Near a phone jack — Your fax machine uses a standard telephone jack, also known as an RJ-11.

Near an AC power outlet — Allow plenty of slack for your fax machine’s power cord. It should never be stretch to its 5-foot limit.

Power tips

Use a standard three-pronged120 VAC outlet.

Make sure the outlet isn’t controlled by a wall switch. If it is, you will risk inadvertent shutoffs of your machine, causing you to lose fax messages.

Don’t use an outlet which also is supplying power to a large appliance, such a refrigerator or air condi- tioner. Such high-consumption appliances can cause (temporary drops in the power available for other equip- ment which could damage your fax machine.

Use an electrical surge suppressor, which guards both telephone and electrical lines. This device helps to shield your fax machine from damaging high-voltage electrical surges.

Note: To turn off the power to your fax machine,you have to unplug the power cord from the wall socket or remove the power cord from the rear of the machine. For convenience, install the fax machine so that there is easy access to the power outlet.

Voltage requirements:

120 VAC ± 10%, 50–60% Hz.
