Advice for Preparation and Simple Use
Guide
Choosing a Location
Place the machine on a flat, stable surface, such as a desk. Select a place that is free of vibration and
shocks. Locate the machine near a telephone wall socket and a standard earthed electrical socket,
grounded power outlet.
Avoid placing the machine where it may be knocked. Do not place near
heaters, air conditioners, water, chemicals or refrigerators. Do not expose
the machine to direct sunlight, excessive heat, moisture or dust. Do not
connect the machine to electrical outlets controlled by wall switches or
automatic timers as disruption of power can wipe out information in the
unit's memory. Do not connect the machine to electrical outlets on the same
circuit as large appliances or other equipment that might disrupt the power
supply. Avoid interference sources, such as speakers or the base units of
cordless phones. Ensure the airflow from the fan on the right hand side of
the machine is not impeded.
• Never touch telephone wires or terminals that are not insulated unless the
telephone line has been disconnected at the network interface.
• Avoid using a telephone (other than a cordless type) during an electrical
storm. There may be a remote risk of electric shock from lightning.
• Do not use the telephone to report a gas leak in the vicinity of the leak.
Connecting the Power Cord
• This machine must be fitted with an earthed plug. If you need to use a
different mains lead ensure that the machine is fitted with an earthed plug.
• Since the machine is earthed via the mains plug, you can protect yourself
from potentially hazardous electrical conditions on the telephone network
by keeping the power to the machine on when you connect it to a
telephone line. Similarly, you can protect yourself when you want to move
the machine, by disconnecting the telephone line first, and then the power
cord.
