Brother FAX-200 - Manual (Page 13)

INSTALLING THE UNIT
I. ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
The FAX-200 can be plugged into any standard power (110 VAC) outlet. Make sure that the
outlet is grounded and that it is not on the same line as appliances or office machines which
tend to draw a lot of power in a very short period of time, such as refrigerators, copiers, etc.
The
FAX-200 power requirements are listed in the SPECIFICATIONS.
After you plug in the power cord into the outlet, the LCD will display:
PRESS STOP KEY
AUTO ANS
■ PASSWORD
Press STOP. If you have not inserted the paper roll into the unit, "ADD PAPER" message
appears. If you have already inserted the paper roll, the unit is ready for use. The LCD will
display the date and time as follows:
01/01/89 00:00 •AUTO ANS
PASSWORD
This LCD reading is referred to as the "standby mode" and it indicates that the unit is ready to
perform its functions. Later, we will show you how to set the date and time.
NOTE : THE FAX-200 DOES NOT HA VE A POWER ON/OFF SWITCH.
II. SINGLE-LINE TELEPHONE CONNECTIONS
The FAX-200 must always be connected to the power outlet prior to making the telephone line
connection. Similarly, when disconnecting the unit, the telephone line connection should be
removed before unplugging the unit. This procedure is necessary because the unit relies on the
power outlet's ground for your protection from any possibly hazardous electrical conditions that
may arise on the telephone network.
The simplest way to connect the Brother FAX-200 unit to the public switched telephone
network (phone company lines) is to use a single telephone line. The connection is particularly
simple if you have a modular wall jack. The most common modular jack is referred to as the
USOC RJ11C jack, if you have such a jack, follow the instructions below. If your wall jack is
not modular, it is very easy to convert the wall plug to a modular form. Conversion is very
simple and conversion kits are available from your local phone company, an electronics /
computer store (e.g., Radio Shack) or the AT&T phone stores.
To connect your FAX-200 to the telephone line, follow these steps:
• Connect one end of the curled handset cord to the handset and the second end to the
RJ7 jack on the side of the handset cradle.
• Take the telephone cord which is also included in the carton and connect one of its plugs
to the LINE jack in the back of the
FAX-200 unit and the second plug to your modular
wall jack (USOC RJ11C). Now, the FAX-200 is connected to the telephone network.
Please see the illustration on the next page for the telephone connections.
