I bought from staples.com on clearance multifunction machine KX_FLM600 for $225 on 11/15/2000. It was working fine until today. I wake up at 5am this morning because of weird loud noise. I thought it was coming from neighbors. Then i see that my machine makes the noise, I touched it, it was mad hot and inside it seemed like something jumping like its gonna blow up. I unplugged it from electricity, in the afternoon I pluged it back in and everything was fine in 10 minutes noise started, display screen was empty and it started overheating, so I call panasonic support #, representive told me to plug it back he wanted to hear the noise after he heard horrible noise, he told me to fax cover letter to him with his attention and my name and my phone# and invoice from staples and he will decide to repair or replace it, so i typed cover letter on my pc and printed on my xerox inkjet printer, then i pluged back the faxmachine into the jack and didnt touch it or press anything and went to another room for 2min, next thing I know someone knocking down onmy door , i open there is one female cop and one male cop saying what happeneded why i called them, I told them , I am alone home and i didnt call no one, the asked dispatched by radio who called and dispatcher said that they got call for 2min they heard some pulse noise thats why they sent police to respond, its so weird how could that freaking garbage fax machine dial cops with noise, panasonic support dont know either they said if i had alarm that connect to phoneline, i told them i have no alarm at all, I am afraid to plug any phones in my house because cops will return😕
 
If only you'd had a heart attack or some sort of seizure and the machine had effectively called 911 for you, you'd have a heck of short story 🙂
 
lol!!!!!!!!!! that was the funniest thing I read all day 🙂 Your fax is possesed with demons man! Demons I tell 'ya!
 
Weird stuff happens with fax machines. If my roommate has his fax plugged into the line and I send a fax from my computer, his fax machine will pick it up, my computer will send the fax to him, in the next room and on the same phone line mind you, and then disconnect with an error. Go figure. 🙂
 
finally got call back from panasonic supervisor, she will ship overnight new one asked for my credit card in case i dont include receipt with broken one they will charge me. damn I am gonna put this piece of shi,t in the box and keep it outside until tommorow lol I am afraid of that electronic devil
 
Here's what I have run into. A lot of comapnies use 9 to get an outside line. I have to use it myself. If I'm making a long distance call, I then add a one. Most of my calls are long distance, so the first numbers I enter are almost always 9-1. Now, in Windows dial-up networking, you can set it to automatically dial a 9 for an outside line, and if it sees that the area code is different from your own, it will automaticaly add a 1. Occassionally, thru a strange set of circmustances, both of those will happen, and the user will also put a one in front of the area code they type in. Now, I don't know about the multifunction printer you have or the software it uses, but if it has been messing up, I suppose it's possible that it could have done something along those lines.
 
If your phone is left off the hook the police will respond and its possible that the crappy machine had the phone off the hook for hours or messed up.
 
ROFL The machine was unhappy with you pulling its lifelinef rom teh wall and tried to protect itself from you killing it again. Johnny five is alive!😀
