Chapter Safety Instructions
Safety Instructions
In order to avoid possible dangers, damage or malfunc-
tions, please heed the following safety instructions for the
setup and operation of your fax machine.
¿
Make sure that the fax machine is stable and secure,
on a smooth, level surface (do not place the machine
on carpets or similar surfaces). If the fax machine should
fall, it can be damaged or can cause injury to people,
especially small children. Th
e distance between the fax
machine and other appliances or objects, must be at least
15 centimetres. Position all cables in such a way that no
one will stumble on them, thus avoiding possible inju-
ries to persons and/or damage to the cables or to the fax
machine itself.
Allow a space of
at least 30 centi-
metres in front of
the fax machine,
since documents
and print-outs
are dispensed on
the front side of
the machine.
Always avoid direct sunlight as well as immediate prox-
imity to heaters, air-conditioning units, radios, and tel-
evision sets. If you use an additional cordless telephone,
you should maintain a distance of at least 15 centimetres
between the laser fax machine and the base station of the
cordless device. Otherwise, acoustic disturbances may oc-
cur in the cordless telephone device.
Do not allow children to handle the fax machine without
supervision. Th
e packing materials should be kept out of
the hands of children.
¿
Th e area in
which you oper-
ate the fax machine
must be adequately
ventilated, especially
if the machine is
used frequently. Set
up your laser fax ma-
chine in such a way
that the fl ow of the
exhaust air stream
points away from the
work station.
¿
Th e fax machine may not be covered. Do not put
your fax machine in closed cabinets or boxes. Do
not place the machine on soft surfaces such as carpets
or cushions and do not cover the ventilation slits. Oth-
erwise, the fax machine can overheat and catch on fi re.
In the event that your fax machine becomes too hot, or
if you see smoke coming from the device, you must im-
mediately pull the mains cable out of the power socket.
Have your fax machine examined by trained profession-
als at a technical service location.
¿
Do not connect the telephone cord or mains cable
in areas where there is moisture of any kind. Never
touch the mains cable, the mains connection or the tele-
phone socket with wet hands.
Do not allow liquids or foreign parts to enter into the
fax machine! Otherwise, people using the device are
at risk to electric shocks. In addition, the fax machine
itself could suff er serious damage. Should liquids or
foreign parts never-
theless enter into
the machine, you
must immediately
pull out the mains
cable and have
your fax machine
examined by the
trained personnel
at a technical serv-
ice site. Never leave
your fax machine
outside when it is
raining. During a
thunderstorm, you
should disconnect your fax machine from the electrical
power source and from the telephone network. If that is
not possible, then do not use your fax machine or make
any telephone calls. Otherwise, there is a risk of lightning
strikes to the user or damage to the fax machine. Before
cleaning the surface of the fax machine, disconnect the
device from the electrical power source and from the tele-
phone network. Do not use any liquid or gaseous clean-
ing agents on your fax machine (sprays, abrasives, etc.)
and do not employ cleaning agents that contain alcohol.
¿
If the casing
or the mains
cable become dam-
aged in any way,
please pull the
mains cable out of
the power socket.
Never touch tele-
phone cords or
mains cables that
are not insulated
or whose insulation
has been damaged without fi rst disconnecting the tel-
ephone and mains cable from the network. Only trained
personnel from a technical service location may open the
housing of your fax machine.
