FCC STATEMENT

Your fax machine complies with Part 68 of FCC Rules. You must, upon re- quest, provide the FCC registration number and the REN to your phone company. Both numbers are shown on the bottom of your fax machine.

Note: You must not connect your fax machine to:

Coin-operated systems

Party-line systems

Most electronic key phone sys- tems

Important: The Telephone Consumer Protection Act of 1991 makes it unlaw- ful for any person to use a computer or other electronic device to send any message via telephone fax machine, unless the message clearly contains in a margin at the top or bottom of each transmitted page or on the first page of the transmission:

The date, time, identification of the business, individual, or other entity

The telephone number of the sending machine.

To program this information into your fax machine, see Page 13.

THE FCC WANTS YOU TO KNOW

In the unlikely event that your fax ma- chine causes problems on the phone line, the phone company can discon- nect your service. The phone company attempts to notify you in advance. If advance notice is not practical, the phone company notifies you of your right to file a complaint with the FCC.

Also, the phone company can make changes to its lines, equipment, opera- tions, or procedures that could affect the operation of your telephone equip- ment. The phone company notifies you of these changes in advance, so you can take steps to prevent interruption of your phone service.

LIGHTNING

Your fax machine has built-in protec- tion circuits to reduce the risk of dam- age from surges in phone and power line current. These protection circuits meet or exceed FCC requirements. However, lightning striking the phone line or power lines can damage your fax machine.

Lightning damage is not common. Nevertheless, if you live in an area that has frequent electrical storms, we sug- gest that you unplug your fax machine during storms to reduce the possibility of damage.
