INTRODUCTION
TYPE OF SERVICE
This equipment may not be used on coin service provided by the telephone company. Connection to party lines is
subject to state tariffs. Contact your state's public utility commission, public service commission, or corporation
commission for more information.
ABOUT THE TELEPHONE CONSUMER PROTECTION ACT OF 1991
The Telephone Consumer Protection Act of 1991 makes it unlawful for any person to use a computer or other
electronic device, including FAX machines, to send any message unless such message clearly contains in a margin
at the top or bottom of each transmitted page or on the first page of the transmission, the date and time it is sent and
an identification of the business or other entity, or other individual sending the message and the telephone number
of the sending machine or such business, other entity, or individual.
(The telephone number provided may not be a 900 number or any other number for which charges exceed local or
long-distance transmission charges.)
In order to program this information into your FAX machine, you should complete the following steps:
See page 21 of this Operation Manual.
Important safety information
• If any of your telephone equipment is not operating properly, you should immediately remove it from your
telephone line, as it may cause harm to the telephone network.
• The AC power outlet shall be installed near the equipment and shall be easily accessible.
• Never install telephone wiring during a lightning storm.
• Never install telephone jacks in wet locations unless the jack is specifically designed for wet locations.
• Never touch uninsulated telephone wires or terminals unless the telephone line has been disconnected at the
network interface.
• Use caution when installing or modifying telephone lines.
• 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 a telephone to report a gas leak in the vicinity of the leak.
• Do not install or use the machine near water, or when you are wet. Take care not to spill any liquids on the
machine.

FCC Notice to users:
This equipment complies with Part 68 of the FCC rules and the requirements adopted by the ACTA.
On this equipment is a label that contains, among other information, a product identifier in the format
US:AAAEQ##TXXXX.
If requested, this number must be provided to the telephone company.
The REN is used to determine the number of devices that may be connected to a telephone line.
Excessive RENs on a telephone line may result in the devices not ringing in response to an incoming call.
In most but not all areas, the sum of RENs should not exceed five (5.0).
To be certain of the number of devices that may be connected to a line, as determined by the total RENs, contact the
local telephone company.
For products approved after July 23, 2001, the REN for this product is part of the product identifier that has the
format US:AAAEQ##TXXXX.
The digits represented by ## are the REN without a decimal point (e.g., 03 is a REN of 0.3).
For earlier products, the REN is separately shown on the label.
If this equipment causes harm to the telephone network, your telephone company may disconnect your service
temporarily. If possible, They will notify you in advance. If advance notice is not practical, you will be notified as soon
as possible. You will also be advised of your right to file a compliant with the FCC.
Your telephone company may make changes in its facilities, equipment, operations, or procedures that could affect
the operation of your equipment. If this happens, the telephone company will provide advance notice in order for you
to make necessary modifications to maintain uninterrupted service. If the equipment is causing harm to the
telephone network, your telephone company may ask you to disconnect the equipment until the problem is resolved.
If you have any questions or problems which cannot be solved by reading this manual, please contact
A plug and jack used to connect this equipment to the premises wiring and telephone network must comply with the
applicable FCC Part 68 rules and requirements adopted by the ACTA.
A compliant telephone cord and modular plug is provided with this product.
It is designed to be connected to a compatible modular jack that is also compliant. See installation instructions for
details.
This equipment connects to the telephone network through a standard USOC RJ-11C network interface jack.
If your home has specially wired alarm equipment connected to the telephone line, ensure the installation of this
equipment does not disable your alarm equipment.
If you have questions about what will disable alarm equipment, consult your telephone company or a qualified
installer.

FINAL PREPARATIONS
CONNECTING OTHER DEVICES
If desired, an answering machine or external telephone can be connected to the machine through the telephone
jack, labeled "TEL," on the rear of the machine.
●Connecting an answering machine to the machine allows you to receive both voice and fax messages when you
are out. To use this feature, first change the outgoing message of your answering machine, and then set the
reception mode of the machine to "A.M." (Answering Machine mode) when you go out.
Comments:
1. It is advisable to keep the length of the message under 10 seconds. If it is too long, you may have difficulty
receiving faxes sent by automatic dialing.
2. Your callers can even leave a voice message and send a fax message on the same call. Modify your outgoing
message to explain that this can be done by pressing their [START] key ( ) after leaving their voice message.
●You can connect an extension phone to the machine to make and receive calls like any other extension phone on
your line. Even if you pick up the extension phone and hear a fax tone, the machine will automatically cut in and
take over the line. Note, however, if you also have a PC modem on the same line, you must turn on the Remote
Reception function, and deactivate the Fax Signal Receive function. See "SETTING UP THE MACHINE FOR
USE WITH A PC MODEM" (p.37) and "USING THE REMOTE RECEPTION FUNCTION" (p.38).
If you are using distinctive ringing with an answering machine, you do not need to follow the procedure described
below. (Please note that when distinctive ringing is used, the answering machine must be distinctive ring
compatible.)
Note
The Remote Reception function is initially set to "ON".
