Connecting to a Telephone Line

You can connect the machine to the public switched telephone network (PSTN) directly or through a private branch exchange (PBX).

Also, you can connect an external telephone to use the same telephone line for voice calls.

To reduce the risk of fire, use only No. 26 AWG or larger telecommunication line cord.

Pour réduire le risque d'incendie, utiliser uniquement des conducteurs de télécommunications 26 AWG ou de section supérieure.

: By law in the United States, you must program your phone number identification (your fax number) into your machine before you can connect to the public phone system.
Make sure the connector is the correct type before you start.
