Important information (for Australian users)  
Instructions to customer  
Installation  
Attached to this apparatus is an approval label. This label is evidence that it is a “Permitted Attachment”  
which has been authorised to be connected to your telephone service.  
Conditions relating to connection and operation of this Permitted Attachment are contained in  
Telecommunications General By-Law 220 (5).  
You are authorised to install this Permitted Attachment yourself by plugging it into the line socket of any  
regular telephone. You may connect it in place of your existing telephone or to any spare telephone  
socket installed in your premises.  
To disconnect your existing telephone you must first remove its plug from the line socket. You can then  
insert the plug of your Permitted Attachment into the socket and use your equipment.  
If the plug of your existing telephone cannot be readily removed, you will have to remove the screw  
securing it. To do this proceed as follows:  
1. Loosen screw “A” sufficiently to remove the socket cover. (See Fig. 1.)  
2. Remove screw “B” and withdraw the plug. (See Fig. 2.)  
3. Replace screw “B”. (See Fig. 3.) Ensure that it screws completely into the socket recess. (If the screw  
is too long, increase the hole depth or replace the screw with one 5 mm shorter.)  
4. Replace socket cover and tighten screw “A”. (See Fig. 4.)

If you are satisfied with the operation of your telephone service after plugging in your Permitted  
Attachment, your installation is completed.  
You will be unable to connect this Permitted Attachment if your telephone service consists only of a wall  
phone or an old style telephone which is not connected by means of a modern plug and socket. In such  
cases a new socket will need to be installed.  
Should the Permitted Attachment not operate when plugged into a socket, it is either faulty or unsuitable  
for operation with your telephone service. It should be returned to the store where purchased.  
Service difficulties  
If at any time a fault occurs on your telephone service carry out the following checks before you call for  
service:  
L Disconnect the Permitted Attachment and try using the service with the normal telephone.  
L If the telephone service then operates satisfactorily, the fault is in your Permitted Attachment. Leave  
the Permitted Attachment disconnected and report the fault to its supplier or agent to arrange for  
repair.  
L If when using the telephone the service is still faulty, report the fault to “Service Difficulties and Faults”  
for attention.  
You are required to keep this Permitted Attachment in good working order while it is connected to your  
telephone service. Its construction or internal circuit must not be modified in any way without permission.

OUT OF AREA: The caller dialled from an area  
which does not provide Caller ID service.  
PRIVATE CALLER: The caller requested not to  
send caller information.

Voice memory capacity (KX-FP215 only):  
Paper which has dust, lint or oil stains  
Approx. 18 minutes of recording time including greeting  
messages  
Paper that will melt, vaporize, discolour, scorch or  
emit dangerous fumes near 200 °C, such as  
vellum paper. These materials may transfer onto  
the fusing roller and cause damage.  
Moist paper  
*1 Transmission speed depends on the contents of the  
pages, resolution, telephone line conditions and  
capability of the other party’s machine.  
*2 Transmission speed is based on the ITU-T No. 1 Test  
Chart with original mode. If the capability of the other  
party’s machine is inferior to your unit, the  
transmission time may be longer.  
*3 If an error occurs during fax reception, such as a  
paper jam or if the recording paper runs out, the fax  
and subsequent faxes will be retained in memory.  
*4 Recording time may be reduced by the calling party’s  
background noise.  
L Some paper only accepts print on one side. Try using  
the other side of the paper if you are not happy with  
the print quality or if misfeeding occurs.  
L For proper paper feeding and best print quality, we  
recommend using long-grained paper.  
L Do not use paper of different types or thickness at the  
same time. This may cause paper jams.  
L Avoid double-sided printing.  
L Do not use paper printed from this unit for double-  
sided printing with other copiers or printers. This may  
cause paper jams.  
L To avoid curling, do not open paper packs until you  
are ready to use the paper. Store unused paper in  
the original packaging, in a cool and dry location.  
Note:  
L The accuracy of the clock is approximately 60  
seconds a month.
