							9FAX MACHINE SETUP AND CONNECTIONS
Choosing a Location
Place your fax machine on a flat, stable surface, such as a desk. Select a
place that is free of vibration and shocks. Locate the fax machine near a
telephone jack and a standard, grounded power outlet. Make sure nothing
blocks the flow of air from the fan on the right side of the machine.
Avoid placing your machine in a high-traffic area. Do not place near
heaters, air conditioners, water, chemicals or refrigerators. Do not expose
the fax machine to direct sunlight, excessive heat, moisture or dust. Make
sure nothing blocks the flow of air from the fan on the right side of the
machine. Do not connect your machine to electrical outlets controlled by
wall switches or automatic timers. Disruption of power can wipe out
information in the unitÕs memory. Do not connect your 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.

nSince the fax machine is grounded through the power outlet, you can protect
yourself from potentially hazardous electrical conditions on the telephone
network by keeping the power to your machine on when you connect it to a
telephone line. Similarly, you can protect yourself when you want to move
your machine, by disconnecting the telephone line first, and then the power
cord.
nLightning and power surges can damage this product! We recommend
that you use a quality surge protection device on the AC power line as
well as on the telephone line, or unplug the lines during a lightning
storm.
nDo not touch the rollers at the paper exit.

							17FAX MACHINE SETUP AND CONNECTIONS
Connecting an External
Telephone Answering Device (TAD)
Sequence
You might choose to connect an additional answering system. When you have
an external TAD on the same telephone line as the fax machine, the TAD
answers all calls. The fax machine ÒlistensÓ for fax calling (CNG) tones. If it
hears them, the fax machine takes over the call and receives the fax. If it
doesnÕt hear CNG tones, the fax machine lets the TAD continue playing your
outgoing message so your caller can leave you a voice message.
The TAD must answer within four rings. The fax machine cannot hear CNG
tones until the TAD has answered the call, and with four rings there are only
8Ð10 seconds of CNG tones left for the fax Òhandshake.Ó  Make sure you
carefully follow the instructions in this manual for recording your outgoing
message.
 
Do not connect a TAD elsewhere on the same phone lineÑyour fax machine
and TAD will both try to control the line.

TAD TAD
LINE
EXT.
1Plug the telephone line cord from the wall jack into the left side of the
fax machine, in the jack labeled LINE.
2Plug the telephone line cord from your TAD into the left side of the
fax machine, in the jack labeled EXT. (Make sure this cord is connected to
the TAD at the TADÕs telephone line jack, and not its telephone set jack.)
3Set your external TAD to four rings or less. (The fax machineÕs Ring Delay
setting does not apply).
4Record the outgoing message (see below).
5Set the TAD to answer calls.
6Set the Answer mode to TAD. (Press Mode until both FAX and FAX/
TEL lights are on.)
Recording Outgoing Message on External TAD
Timing is important in recording this message. The message sets up the
ways to handle both manual and automatic fax reception.
1Record 5 seconds of silence at the beginning of your message. (This
allows your fax machine time to listen for the fax CNG tones of
automatic transmissions before they stop.)
2Limit your speaking to 20 seconds.
3End your 20-second message by giving your Fax Receive Code for
people sending manual faxes. For example:
ÒAfter the beep, leave a message or send a fax by pressing 
 5 1 and
Start.Ó
