Do not connect additional equipment through parallel sockets elsewhere on the telephone line. This equipment is not intended or recommended for making calls to emergency services. iv For your safety (Australia only) To ensure safe operation the three-pin plug supplied must be inserted only into a standard three-pin power point which is effectively earthed through the normal household wiring. Extension cords used with the equipment must be three-core and be correctly wired to provide connection to earth. Wrongly wired extension cords are a major cause of fatalities. The power point shall be located near the equipment and shall be easily accessible. The fact that the equipment operates satisfactorily does not imply that the power point is earthed and the installation is completely safe. For your safety, if in any doubt about the effective earthing of the power point, consult a qualified electrician. Caution (New Zealand only) 1. This equipment may not necessarily provide for the effective hand-over of a call to or from a telephone connected to the same line. The operation of this equipment on the same line as telephone or other equipment with audible warning devices or automatic ring detectors will give rise to bell tinkle or noise and may cause false tripping of the ring detector. Should such problems occur, the user is not to contact telecom faults service. Should this equipment become physically damaged, disconnect immediately from the Telecom connection and power source and contact your nearest service agent. To relocate this equipment, please; 1) Disconnect the equipment from the Telecom connection. 2) Disconnect the equipment from the power source. 3) Reconnect the equipment to the power source. 4) Reconnect the equipment to the Telecom connection. If the supply cord of this equipment is damaged, it must be replaced by the special cord (Parts No.:HH2-1910). Not all standard telephones will respond to incoming ringing when connected to the extension socket. This device may be subject to ringing or bell tinkle when calls are made from another device on the same line. If this occurs, the problem should not be referred to the Telecom Faults service. Please note when you connect an extension telephone to this device. If you use an extension telephone which has features such as `last number redial', redial memory numbers may be lost. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. v Precautions General _________________________________________ Make sure the place where you set up the fax satisfies the following conditions: Over 32.5°C Under 10°C · Use the fax only within the following temperature and humidity ranges.
