Put the product near a telephone wall jack (MFC only) and a standard grounded AC power outlet.

Choose a location where the temperature remains between 50°F and 90.5°F (10°C and 32.5°C)

and the humidity is between 20% to 80% (without condensation).

WARNING

DO NOT expose the product to direct sunlight, excessive heat, open flames, corrosive gasses,

moisture or dust. Doing so may create a risk of an electrical shock, electrical short or fire. It may

also damage the product and/or render it inoperable.

DO NOT place the product near heaters, air conditioners, electrical fans, refrigerators, or water.

Doing so may create the risk of a short circuit or fire, as water may come into contact with the

product (including condensation caused by heating/air conditioning/ventilation equipment).

DO NOT place the product near chemicals or in a place where chemicals could be spilled on it.

Should chemicals come into contact with the product, there may be a risk of fire or electric

shock. In particular, organic solvents or liquids such as benzene, paint thinner, polish remover,

or deodorizer may melt or dissolve the plastic cover and/or cables, resulting in a risk of fire or

electric shock. These or other chemicals may also cause the product to malfunction or become

discolored.

DO NOT put the product in a location that blocks or obstructs any slot or opening in the product.

These slots and openings are provided for ventilation. Blocking the product’s ventilation could

create a risk of overheating and/or fire.

danger of suffocation, keep these bags away from babies and children and dispose of them

correctly.

CAUTION
