Under the supervision of Brother Industries, Ltd., this manual has been compiled and published,

covering the latest product descriptions and specifications.

The contents of this manual and the specifications of this product are subject to change without

notice.

Brother reserves the right to make changes without notice in the specifications and materials

contained herein and shall not be responsible for any damages (including consequential) caused

by reliance on the materials presented, including but not limited to typographical and other errors

relating to the publication.

Choose a safe location for your product 1

Put your product on a flat, level, stable surface that is free from vibration and shocks, such as a

desk. Put the product near a telephone socket and a standard earthed electrical socket. Choose

a location where the temperature remains between 10C and 32.5C and the humidity is between

20% to 80% (without condensation).

WARNING

DO NOT expose the product to direct sunlight, excessive heat, open flames, corrosive gasses,

moisture or dust. Doing so may create a risk of an electrical shock, electrical short or fire. It may

also damage the product and/or render it inoperable.

DO NOT place the product near heaters, air conditioners, electrical fans, refrigerators, or water.

Doing so may create the risk of a short circuit or fire, as water may come into contact with the

product (including condensation caused by heating/air conditioning/ventilation equipment).

DO NOT place the product near chemicals or in a place where chemical spillage could occur. In

particular, organic solvents or liquids may cause the casing and/or cables to melt or dissolve,

risking fire or electrical shock. They may also cause the product to malfunction or become

discoloured.

DO NOT put the product in a location that blocks or obstructs any slot or opening in the product.

These slots and openings are provided for ventilation. Blocking the product’s ventilation could

create a risk of overheating and/or fire.

Instead:

• Keep a gap of at least 100 mm between the ventilation hole and the wall.

• Place the product on a solid surface. DO NOT place the product on a bed, sofa, rug, or other

similar soft surface.

• DO NOT place this product near or over a radiator or heater.

• DO NOT place this product in a “built-in” installation unless adequate ventilation is provided.

CAUTION

Avoid placing your product in a high-traffic area. If you must place it in a high-traffic area, ensure

that the product is in a safe location where it cannot be accidentally knocked-over, which could

cause injury to you or others and serious damage to the product. Also ensure that cords are

secured so as not to pose a tripping hazard.

DO NOT connect your product to electrical sockets controlled by wall switches or automatic

timers, or to the same circuit as large appliances, such as an air conditioner, copier, shredder,

etc. that might disrupt the power supply.

DO NOT eat the silica gel pack. Please throw away. If ingested seek medical attention

immediately.

DO NOT place heavy objects on the product. DO NOT place this product on an unstable cart,

stand, or table. The product is heavy and may fall, causing injury to you, and serious damage to

the product. Particularly, if you have children, please make sure the product is located in a safe

position.

Important

• DO NOT put objects on top of the product. Doing so could increase the risk of overheating

should the product malfunction.

• DO NOT place anything in front of the product that will block printed documents or faxes.

• DO NOT place your product next to sources of interference, such as speakers or the base units

of non Brother cordless telephones. Doing so may interfere with the operation of the product’s

electronic components.

• Disruption of power can delete information from the product’s memory.
