Setting up

Pick an installation spot

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

Clean Dust buildup can damage your machine. (However, do not use a cover!)

In the open Allow at least 12 inches of clearance around your machine. Be sure that you 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 (such as from a water fountain) could reach your fax machine.

Level, and vibration-free.

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

Near an A C power outlet The A C power cord is about 6 feet long when stretched toits limit, and the power cord should never be stretched to itslimit.

Power tips

Use a standard three-pronged 120 VA C outlet.

Make sure the outlet isn t controlled by a wall switch.

If it is, youll risk occasional shutoffs to the machine, causing you to lose fax messages.

Don t use an outlet which also is supplying power to a large appliance, such as a refrigerator or air conditioner.

Such high-consumption appliances can cause draw-downs (temporary drops in the power available for other equipment on the circuit) which could damage your fax machine.

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