FCC STATEMENT  
Your fax machine complies with Part  
68 of FCC Rules. You must, upon re-  
quest, provide the FCC registration  
number and the REN to your phone  
company. Both numbers are shown on  
the bottom of your fax machine.  
THE FCC WANTS YOU  
TO KNOW  
In the unlikely event that your fax ma-  
chine causes problems on the phone  
line, the phone company can discon-  
nect your service. The phone company  
attempts to notify you in advance. If  
advance notice is not practical, the  
phone company notifies you of your  
right to file a complaint with the FCC.  
Note: You must not connect your fax  
machine to:  
• Coin-operated systems  
• Party-line systems  
• Most electronic key phone sys-  
tems  
Also, the phone company can make  
changes to its lines, equipment, opera-  
tions, or procedures that could affect  
the operation of your telephone equip-  
ment. The phone company notifies you  
of these changes in advance, so you  
can take steps to prevent interruption  
of your phone service.  
Important: The Telephone Consumer  
Protection Act of 1991 makes it unlaw-  
ful for any person to use a computer or  
other electronic device to send any  
message via telephone fax machine,  
unless the message clearly contains in  
a margin at the top or bottom of each  
transmitted page or on the first page of  
the transmission:  
LIGHTNING  
Your fax machine has built-in protec-  
tion circuits to reduce the risk of dam-  
age from surges in phone and power  
line current. These protection circuits  
meet or exceed FCC requirements.  
However, lightning striking the phone  
line or power lines can damage your  
fax machine.  
• The date, time, identification of the  
business, individual, or other  
entity  
• The telephone number of the  
sending machine.  
To program this information into your  
fax machine, see Page 13.  
Lightning damage is not common.  
Nevertheless, if you live in an area that  
has frequent electrical storms, we sug-  
gest that you unplug your fax machine  
during storms to reduce the possibility  
of damage.

• Is not in direct sunlight.  
• Is near an AC power outlet and  
modular phone line jack.  
• Is at least 4 inches from other  
objects.  
• Is not near heating or air condi-  
tioner units.

mal activities.  
Also note these important consider-  
ations:  
• Do not place objects on top of or  
under the fax machine.  
Note: Your fax machine connects di-  
rectly to a modular telephone line jack.  
If your telephone wiring does not have  
a modular jack, you can update the  
wiring yourself or have the telephone  
company update it for you.  
• Do not place the fax machine on a  
rugged surface or on thick carpet  
which might cause a jam when  
you feed a document.  
• Radio Shack stores sell jacks and  
adapters to convert older wiring  
methods to modular wiring.  
• The telephone company charges  
to install the necessary jacks.  
• The USOC number of the jack to  
be installed is RJ11C.

can darken the paper.  
• Store copies away from direct  
sunlight and at a temperature  
below 94°F. Direct sunlight and  
high heat can fade the image.  
3. Remove any slack from the roll  
and place it in the paper holder in  
the direction shown, with both  
sides seated securely.  
• Avoid storing thermal copies next  
to blueprint (diazo) copies and  
plastic film or binders. The chemi-  
cals in these materials could fade  
the image.

Automatic Reception  
Answering Machine  
Reception  
In this mode, when a call comes in,  
your fax machine automatically an-  
swers.  
Use this mode when you connect an  
answering machine to EXT. TEL and  
want to receive both phone messages  
and faxes while you are away.  
Note: You use feature switch 07 (see  
“Setting the Feature Switches” on  
Page 27) to set how many rings occur  
before the fax machine answers.  
Set your answering machine to answer  
calls within 4 rings. Otherwise, the fax  
machine answers after 40 seconds  
and sounds fax tones.  
After the fax machine answers:  
• If the fax machine detects fax  
tones, it receives the document.  
When someone calls, the answering  
machine answers the call and plays  
your announcement. If the fax machine  
detects fax tones during the announce-  
ment, it disconnects the answering  
machine and receives the fax.  
• If the call is a voice call, the caller  
continues to hear several simu-  
lated ring signals. Then the fax  
machine starts to sound fax tones.  
Notes:  
Notes:  
With feature switch 09, you  
can change the number of  
simulated rings that sound  
after the line connects to no  
rings (position 00) or between  
3 and 11 rings. If you set this  
switch to 00, the fax machine  
does not sound simulated  
rings, and answers callers  
with a fax tone.  
• If there are 6 seconds of silence,  
the fax machine begins sounding  
fax tones.  
• In your outgoing announcement,  
tell callers to press START on their  
fax machine to send a fax.  
• Automatic switching might not  
function properly on certain  
answering systems.  
If the call is long distance, the  
caller is charged from the time  
the simulated rings start, even  
if they hang up as soon as  
they hear the fax tones.  
You might have trouble retrieving  
answering machine messages  
from a remote phone if you con-  
nect it to the fax machine. Try set-  
ting the fax machine to the manual  
reception mode and feature switch  
54 to 01 (ON).

the original document you send. Do  
not try to send documents that are:  
1. Place the original document (up to  
10 pages) face down in the paper  
tray. The fax machine automati-  
cally draws in the first page.  
• Wet or damp  
• Covered with wet ink or paste  
2. Select a contrast/resolution mode,  
if necessary. See “Setting the  
Contrast/Resolution” on Page 21.  
• Chemically processed (such as  
pressure-sensitive paper or car-  
bon-coated paper)

machine uses fine or superfine  
resolution only. The fax machine  
uses the fine setting if the resolu-

CARE AND MAINTENANCE  
Your Radio Shack TFX-1032 Fax Machine with Automatic Cutter is an example of  
superior design and craftsmanship. The following suggestions will help you care for  
your fax machine so you can enjoy it for years.  
Keep the fax machine dry. If it gets wet, wipe it dry. Liquids might con-  
tain minerals that can corrode electronic circuits. If a liquid enters the  
fax machine, immediately unplug the AC power cord. Do not turn on  
the fax machine. Contact your local Radio Shack store for service.  
Use and store the fax machine only in normal temperature environ-  
ments. Temperature extremes can shorten the life of electronic de-  
vices, discolor receiving paper, and distort or melt plastic parts.  
Handle the fax machine gently and carefully. Dropping it can damage  
circuit boards and cases and can cause the fax machine to work im-  
properly.  
Keep the fax machine away from dust and dirt, which can cause pre-  
mature wear of parts.  
Wipe the fax machine with a damp cloth occasionally to keep it look-  
CLEANER  
ing new. Do not use harsh chemicals, cleaning solvents, or strong de-  
tergents.  
Modifying or tampering with the fax machine’s internal components can cause a  
malfunction and might invalidate its warranty and void your FCC authorization to op-  
erate it. If the fax machine is not performing as it should, take it to your local Radio  
Shack store for assistance. If the trouble is harming the telephone lines, the tele-  
phone company might ask you to disconnect the fax machine until you resolve the  
problem.
