Setting up
Pick an installation spot before going ahead
To keep your fax machine in perfect working order, the location should be:
• Clean — Dust build-up can damage your machine. (However, do
not use a cover, which can promote overheating! See next item.)
• Open around the fax — Allow at least 16" of clearance around
your machine. Be sure that you never cover the machine: its vents
must be able to "breathe."
• Away from direct sunlight — This helps avoid overheating. If
you have to place the fax near a window, install heavy curtains or
blinds to protect the fax from direct sunlight.
• Dry — Avoid any location where splatters or sprays (such as from a
water fountain) could reach your fax machine.
• Level, and vibration-free.
• Near a phone jack — Your fax machine uses a standard
("modular") telephone jack, also known as an RJ-11.
• Near an AC power outlet — The AC power cord is about 5' long
when stretched to its limit (and that's not the way to handle a
power cord).
• Away from heavy equipment — Do not set up your fax near a
television, radio, or heavy equipment — like air conditioners, copy
machine or large printers — that can generate strong
electromagnetic fields. Electronic "noise" can interfere with the
operation of your fax machine.
