Setting up

Pick an installation spot before going ahead

To keep your fax machine in perfect working order, the location should be:

∙	Clean — Dust build-up can damage your machine. (However, do not use a
	cover, which can promote overheating! See next item.)
∙	Open around the fax —Allow at least 16 ″ 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. If you have to place the fax near a window, install heavy curtains or blinds to protect the fax from direct sunlight.

∙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 AC power outlet — The AC power cord is about 5′ long when stretched to its limit (and that’s not the way to handle a power cord).

∙Away from heavy equipment — Do not set up your fax near a television, radio, or heavy equipment — like air conditioners, copy machine or large printers — that can generate strong electromagnetic fields. Electronic “noise” can interfere with the operation of your fax machine.

Please heed these power-ful tips

∙Use a standard three-pronged 120 VAC outlet.

∙Make sure the outlet isn’t controlled by a wall switch. If it is, you’ll 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 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.

∙If at all possible, 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.
