Connecting the handset
Connect the handset as shown and place it on the handset rest.
♦The ends of the handset cord are identical, so they will go into either jack.
Make sure the handset 
cord goes into the jack 
marked with a handset 
symbol on the side of 
the machine!
Use the handset to make ordinary phone calls, 
or to transmit and receive faxes manually.
Connecting the power cord
Plug the power cord into a 120 V, 60 Hz, grounded AC (3-prong) outlet.
Caution!
Do not plug the power cord into any other kind of outlet. This will damage the

have a power on/off 
switch, so the power is 
turned on and off by 
simply plugging in or 
unplugging the power 
cord.
