Choosing a Location
 
Place your fax machine on a flat, stable surface, such as a desk. Select a place that is 
free of vibration and shocks. Locate the fax machine near a telephone jack and a 
standard, grounded power outlet.
 
Avoid placing your machine in a high-traffic area. Do not place near heaters, air 
conditioners, water, chemicals or refrigerators. Do not expose the fax machine to 
direct sunlight, excessive heat, moisture or dust. Do not connect your machine to 
electrical outlets controlled by wall switches or automatic timers. Disruption of 
power can wipe out information in the unit’s memory. Do not connect your machine 
to electrical outlets on the same circuit as large appliances or other equipment that 
might disrupt the power supply. Avoid interference sources, such as speakers or the 
base units of cordless phones.
