INSTALLATION

CHOOSING A LOCATION

Select a location for your fax machine that:

Is not in direct sunlight.

Is near an AC power outlet and modular phone line jack.

Is at least 4 inches from other objects.

Is not near heating or air condi- tioner units.

Does not block the ventilation openings.

CONNECTING TO THE PHONE LINE

Plug one end of the supplied modular cord into the LINE jack on the back of the fax machine. Plug the cord’s other end into a modular telephone line jack.

Keeps cords out of the way of nor- mal activities.

Also note these important consider- ations:

Do not place objects on top of or under the fax machine.

Do not place the fax machine on a rugged surface or on thick carpet which might cause a jam when you feed a document.

Note: Your fax machine connects di- rectly to a modular telephone line jack. If your telephone wiring does not have a modular jack, you can update the wiring yourself or have the telephone company update it for you.

Radio Shack stores sell jacks and adapters to convert older wiring methods to modular wiring.

The telephone company charges to install the necessary jacks.

The USOC number of the jack to be installed is RJ11C.
