the machine marked LINE and the other end to
a modular wall socket.

• Since the machine is grounded through the power
outlet, you can protect yourself from potentially
hazardous electrical conditions on the telephone
network by keeping the power cord connected to
your machine when you connect it to a telephone
line. Similarly, you can protect yourself when you
want to move your machine by disconnecting the
telephone line first and then the power cord.
