Chapter 2 Setting Up 2-9Setting UpConnecting the Power CordBefore connecting the power cord, see Power Supply, p. 1-9.Follow this procedure to connect the power cord:n• The unit is equipped with a three-prong, grounding-type plug provided with a third(grounding) pin. This plug will only fit into a grounding-type outlet. This is a safetyfeature. If you are unable to insert the plug into your outlet, contact an electrician toreplace the outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the grounding-type plug bybreaking 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 caninterfere 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.
