Choose a safe location for your product 1
Put your product on a flat, level, stable surface free from vibration and shocks, such as a desk.
Put the product near a telephone socket (MFC only) and a standard earthed electrical socket.
Choose a location where the temperature remains between 10C and 32C and the humidity is
between 20% to 80% (without condensation).
WARNING

moisture or dust. Doing so may create a risk of an electrical shock, short circuit 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 an electrical shock, 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 chemical spillage could occur. In
particular, organic solvents or liquids may cause the casing and/or cables to melt or dissolve,
risking fire or electric shock. They may also cause the product to malfunction or become
discoloured.
