Chapter 1. SETUP & PREPARATION BEFORE USE
Choosing a Suitable Place for Your Fax Machine
Use the following list as a guide to find a suitable place for your fax machine.
The Good Places...
Place your fax machine on a flat, stable surface, such as a desk.
Select a place that is free from vibration and shocks.
Locate it near a telephone socket and a standard, grounded power outlet.
And the Bad Places...
Avoid setting it up in a busy location.
Avoid setting up the machine near heaters, air conditioners, water, chemicals, or refrigerators.
Do not select a place that exposes your fax machine to direct sunlight, excessive heat,
moisture, or dust.
Do not connect your fax machine to electrical outlets controlled by wall switches or automatic
timers. Disruption of power can wipe out information in the unit’s memory.
Do not connect your fax machine to electrical outlets on the same circuit as large appliances
or other equipment that might disturb the power supply.
Avoid interference sources, such as speakers or the base units of cordless phones.
