Safety
Your OKIFAX 740 has been carefully designed to give you years
of safe, reliable performance. As with all electrical equipment,
there are a few basic precautions you should take to avoid hurting
yourself or damaging the unit:
• Read the setup and operating instructions in this manual
carefully. Be sure to save it for future reference.
• Read and follow all warning and instruction labels on the
machine itself.
• Unplug the OKIFAX 740 before you clean it. Use only a
damp cloth; do not use liquid or aerosol cleaners.
• Place your OKIFAX 740 on a firm, solid surface. If you
put in on something unsteady, it might fall and be damaged;
if you place it on a soft surface, such as a rug, sofa, or bed,
the vents may be blocked, causing it to overheat.
• To protect your OKIFAX 740 from overheating, make sure
no openings on the machine are blocked. Do not put the
machine on or near a heat source, such as a radiator or heat
register. If you put the machine in any kind of enclosure,
make sure it is well ventilated.
• Do not use your OKIFAX 740 near water, or spill liquid of
any kind into it.
• Be certain that your power source matches the rating listed
on the back of the machine. If you are not sure, check with
your dealer or with your local power company.
• Your OKIFAX 740 has an earthed, 3-pin plug as a safety
feature, and it will only fit into a earthed outlet. If you can
not plug it in, chances are that y ou have an older,
non-earthed outlet; contact an electrician to have it replaced
with a earthed outlet. Do not use an adapter to defeat the
earthing.
• The outlet into which you plug your OKIFAX 740 must
remain easily accessible at all times.
• To avoid damaging the power cable, do not put anything
on it or place it where it will be walked on. If the cable
becomes damaged or frayed, replace it immediately.
• If you’re using an extension cable or power strip with the
machine, make sure that the total current required by all
the equipment on the extension is less than the extension’s
rating. Generally, the total ratings of all equipment plugged
into any one power line should not exceed 15 amperes. Do
not exceed this unless you know that the power line your
equipment is plugged into has a rating above 15 amperes.
• Aside from the routine maintenance described in this
manual, don’t try to service the machine yourself; opening
the cover may expose you to shocks or other hazards. Do
not make any adjustments other than those outlined in the
manual, you might cause damage requiring extensive repair
work.
