Read the following precautions carefully before you install or use the Brother
FAX.
Safety
Installation
Operate the Brother FAX using a standard 110V to 120V AC, 50/60Hz, 15A or
more outlet only. Do not use a multiple plug connector to share the power
supply with any other appliances.
Avoid bending, kinking or damaging the power cord.
Never insert or remove the power cord with wet hands. Also, be sure to hold
the cord by the plug when removing it from the outlet.
Do not install the Brother FAX near heaters, air conditioners, or in a location
exposed to direct sunlight or strong light,
Leave the space shown below between the machine and the nearest wall.
8 inches : right side and rear side
20 inches : left side
16 inches ; frontside
Place the machine on a stable, horizontal surface, unexposed to vibrations.
Do not place any electrical equipment such as a radio or television next to the
machine. They may cause electrical interference,
FAX-2000P is equipped with a 3-wire grounding type plug, a plug with a third
(grounding) pin. This plug will only fit into a grounding-type power outlet. This
is a safety feature. It you are unable to insert the plug into the outlet, contact
your electrician to upgrade your outlet, and benefit from the grounding-type
plug.

humans. However, in a poorly ventilated environment an ozone odor may be
noticeable .

poor printing quality, but also bring about a malfunction of Brother FAX.
If you are located in an area subject to earthquakes, consult an authorized
Brother service representative for measures to protect the Brother FAX.
