Important Safety Information
Always be careful when using the machine. To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock,
and other injuries, keep these safety considerations in mind when installing, using,
and maintaining your machine:
¥
Stability
. Place the machine on a secure, stable surface. The machine can cause serious
damage if it falls.
¥
Power Supply
. Provide the correct power to the machine, as listed on its back. If you
arenÕt sure of the type of power thatÕs supplied to your home or office, call your electric
company.
¥
Grounding.
If the plug has three prongs, it must be plugged into a grounded (three
hole) outlet. Grounded plugs and outlets are designed for your safetyÐdonÕt try to make
a three-prong plug fit into a two-prong outlet by modifying the plug or outlet in any
way. If you canÕt insert the plug into your wall outlet easily, the outlet should be
inspected by a qualified electrician.
¥
Overload
. DonÕt plug too many electrical devices into a wall outlet or extension cord.
An overloaded outlet is a fire and electrical shock hazard.
¥
Cleaning.
Before cleaning the machine, unplug it from both the power outlet and the
telephone jack. Clean exposed parts with a soft cloth slightly dampened with water.
DonÕt use aerosol cleaners.
¥
Thunderstorms.
Unplug electrical appliances during thunderstorms. Avoid using any
telephone (except a cordless model) during a thunderstorm, since thereÕs a small chance
you could get an electrical shock from lightning.
¥
Gas Leaks.
Never use any telephone close to a gas leak. If you think gas is leaking, call
the gas company immediately, but use a telephone far away from the leak area.
A small electrical spark in the telephone could cause a fire.
