TO USE THIS PRODUCT CORRECTLY AS
A FACSIMILE
Several points must be kept in mind when using this product as a facsimile. 
Please note the following:
QLine connection
Use the telephone cable supplied to connect
the machine to a telephone line. Insert the end
of the line cord with the core into the LINE
socket on the machine as shown. Insert the
other end into the telephone line socket.
In some countries, an adapter is required to
connect the telephone line cable to the wall
telephone socket, as shown in the illustration.
QFax power switch
When using the machine, be sure to keep the fax power
switch turned on at all times. The fax power switch must be
turned on to receive faxes at night or send timer transmission
faxes at night.
QSetting the date and time and programming
your senders name and number
Before using the fax function, you must set the date and time
and program your senders name and number in the machine.
This procedure is explained in POINTS TO CHECK AND PROGRAM AFTER INSTALLATION on page 1-2 of
this manual.
QLithium battery
A lithium battery inside the machine keeps key operator program settings for the fax function in memory.
OWhen the battery dies, key operator program settings will be lost. Be sure to keep a written record of the key
operator program settings.
OThe life of the lithium battery is approximately 5 years if the machine power switch and fax power switch are
kept continually off.
QOther information
OIf a thunderstorm occurs, we recommend that you unplug the power cord from the power outlet. Information
will be retained in memory even if the power cord is unplugged.
