 For Boxis® RS700
How do I switch the unit on?  Make sure the power cord is properly plugged into the wall and the BOXIS® AutoShred®. Please confirm that the power at that plug is actually working. The master power switch is located on the right side of the cabinet. When the switch is turned on, the LCD shows AUTO and the machine enters into AUTO mode. In the Auto mode, the shredder stands ready to shred paper either by auto or manual feed.
My BOXIS® is jammed.  How do I remove the jammed paper? To remove a paper jam simply run the BOXIS® in reverse for 3 seconds, then open the feeder tray doors and remove the jammed paper.
How do I stop the “Lubricate” flashing on the LCD? I have already run a shredder lubrication sheet through the BOXIS®. Simply hold down the Lubricate button for 3-7 seconds. You will hear a beep, and the internal motor counter will be reset to zero.
The feeder trays have been locked, and we can not remember the code that was used? How do we open the feeder trays without a code? The BOXIS® RS700 comes with two over ride keys just for such an event. The over ride key is normally held by a trusted member of the team in a secure place. Ask around in your organization who holds these keys. Once you have the key simply insert it into the over ride lock on the right side panel, and the feeder tray will be unlocked, and the security pin cleared.  You can proceed with normal shredding operations at this time.
I need more shredder bags and lubrication sheets. Please call our support team at 866-707-1854 and we will be happy to sell you a few more. Don’t be afraid to use the shredder while you are waiting for more lubrication sheets. Missing one or two oiling cycles will not damage your BOXIS®.
My BOXIS® stopped working and I do not know what is wrong. What now? We can help. You are covered by a comprehensive 2 year warranty. Call us at 866-707-1854 and we will trouble shoot you issue over the phone and if we cannot fix the issue we will send a technician to repair the unit.
The packaging says I need to keep the box and all the internal packaging.  How long do I need to keep this for? We request that you retain all the materials for 14 days. We are confident you are going to love your BOXIS®, but just in case there is a need to return the unit it is important that you keep the packaging. Thanks!
