(grounding) pin. This plug will only fit into a grounding-type outlet. This is a safety
feature. If you are unable to insert the plug into your outlet, contact an electrician to
replace the outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the grounding-type plug by
breaking off the third prong or using a 3-to-2 adapter.
• Do not plug the unit into the same circuit as an appliance such as an air conditioner,
electric typewriter, television, or copier. Such devices generate electrical noise that can
interfere with your unit’s ability to send and receive faxes.
The unit has no power switch, so its power is on as long as it is plugged in. When you
connect the unit, the LCD displays these messages:
Unit is warming up.
Ex: Unit is in standby mode (date and receive mode
displayed) and ready for use.
If the toner cartridge has not been installed, this
message alternates with the standby mode display.
