Choosing a Location
Place your MFC on a flat, stable surface, such as a desk. Select a place that is 
free of vibration and shocks. Locate the MFC near a telephone jack and a 
standard, grounded power outlet. Choose a location where the temperature 
remains between 50°F and 95°F (10°–35°C).
WARNING
■ Never install telephone wiring during a lightning storm.
■ We recommend that this product be used with a surge protection device to protect the 
product against lightning storms. 
■ Never install a telephone jack in a wet location unless the jack is specifically designed 
for a wet location.
■ Never touch telephone wires or terminals that are not insulated unless the telephone 
line has been disconnected at the network interface.
■ Use caution when installing or modifying telephone lines.
■ Avoid using a telephone (other than a cordless type) during an electrical storm. There 
may be a remote risk of electric shock from lightning.
■ Do not use the telephone to report a gas leak in the vicinity of the leak.
■ For PLUG CABLE EQUIPMENT, the socket-outlet should be installed near the 
equipment and should be easily accessible.
■ To reduce the risk of shock or fire, use only a No. 26 AWG or larger 
telecommunications line cord.
Avoid placing your MFC in a high-traffic area. Do not place near heaters, air 
conditioners, water, chemicals, or refrigerators. Do not expose the MFC to 
direct sunlight, excessive heat, moisture, or dust. Do not connect your MFC to 
electrical outlets controlled by wall switches or automatic timers. Disruption of 
power can wipe out information in the MFC’s memory. Do not connect your 
MFC 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.
