relating to the publication.

Choosing a location A

Put your product on a flat, level, stable surface that is free of vibration and shocks, such as a desk.

Put the product near a telephone wall jack 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 short or fire. It may also damage

the product and/or render it inoperable.

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

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

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

DO NOT place the product near chemicals. Should the chemicals come into contact with the

product, there may be a risk of fire. The chemicals may also cause the product to malfunction

or become discolored.

DO NOT put the product in a location where any slot or opening in the product is obstructed or

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

ventilation could create a risk of overheating and/or fire.

Instead:

• Keep a gap of roughly 4 in. (100 mm) between the ventilation hole and the wall.

• Place the product on a solid surface, never on a bed, sofa, rug, or other similar soft surface.

• DO NOT place this product near or over a radiator or heater.

• DO NOT place this product in a “built-in” installation unless adequate ventilation is provided.

DO NOT put objects on top of the product. Doing so could increase the risk of overheating

and/or fire should the product malfunction.

DO install your product near an AC power outlet that is easily accessible. In the event of an

emergency, easy access to the plug and outlet will allow you to shut off power to the product

quickly and completely.

Plastic bags are used in the packing of your product and drum unit. Plastic bags are not toys.

To avoid the danger of suffocation, keep these bags away from babies and children and dispose

of them properly.

(MFC only)

To reduce the risk of shock or fire, use only a No. 26 AWG or larger telecommunication line cord.

(MFC only)

Use caution when installing or modifying telephone lines. Never touch telephone wires or

terminals that are not insulated unless the telephone line has been unplugged at the wall jack.

Never install telephone wiring during a lightning storm. Never install a telephone wall jack in a

wet location.

CAUTION
