Turning Off the Main Power / In the Event of
Power Failure
The following notes concern power failure and turning off the machine.
R CAUTION:
Important
❒ Do not turn off the main power switch while the power indicator is lit or
blinking. If you do, the hard disk and memory may be damaged and failure
could result.
❒ Turn off the main power switch before pulling out the plug. If you pull out
the plug with the switch on, the hard disk and memory may be damaged and
failure could result.
❒ Make sure that 100% is shown on the display before you unplug the machine.
If a lower value is shown, some data is currently present in memory.
❒ Right after a power failure, the internal battery needs to be sufficiently re-
charged to guard against future data loss. Keep the machine plugged in and
the main power switch on for about 24 hours after the power loss.
Even if the main power switch is turned off, the contents of the machine memory
(for example, programmed numbers) will not be lost. However, if power is lost
for about one hour because the main power switch is turned off, there is a power
cut, or the power cable is removed, contents of the Fax memory are lost. Lost
items will include any fax documents stored in memory using Memory Trans-
mission/Reception, Auto Document, Confidential Reception, Memory Lock, or
Substitute Reception.
If a file was deleted from memory, a Power Failure Report is automatically print-
ed as soon as the power is restored.
This report can be used to identify lost files. If a memory stored for Memory
Transmission was lost, resend it. If a document received by Memory Reception
or Substitute Reception was lost, ask the sender to resend it.
❖ RDS (Remote Diagnostic System)
If the machine has a problem, a service representative can perform various
settings over the telephone line from the service station. If you want to use
this function, change the User Parameter. See “Parameter Settings”, General
Settings Guide.
• When you disconnect the power plug from the wall outlet, always pull the
plug (not the cable).
