To use the machine safely 1
WARNING
Please keep these instructions for later reference and read them before attempting any
maintenance.
DO NOT place the machine near heaters, air conditioners, water, chemicals or devices that
contain magnets or generate magnetic fields.
Plastic bags are used in the packing of your machine. To avoid the danger of suffocation, keep
these bags away from babies and children.
DO NOT use flammable substances, any type of spray, or an organic solvent/liquid that contains
alcohol or ammonia to clean the inside or outside of the machine. Refer to Routine maintenance
on the instructions for how to clean the machine.
Never push objects of any kind into this product through cabinet slots, since they may touch
dangerous voltage points or short out parts resulting in the risk of fire or electric shock. If metal
objects, water or other liquids get inside the machine, immediately unplug the machine from the
AC power outlet. Call Brother Customer Service.
Never touch telephone wires or terminals that are not insulated unless the telephone line has
been unplugged at the wall jack. Never install telephone wiring during a lightning storm. Never
install a telephone wall jack in a wet location. (MFC only)

DO NOT connect it to a DC power source or inverter. If you are not sure, contact a qualified
electrician.
When using your telephone equipment, basic safety precautions should always be followed to
reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock and injury to people, including the following:
1
To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock and injury to people;
DO NOT handle the plug with wet hands. Doing this might cause an electrical shock.
Always make sure the plug is fully inserted.
There are high voltage electrodes inside the machine. Before you clean the inside of the
machine, make sure you have unplugged the telephone line cord first (MFC only) and
then the power cord from the AC power outlet. Doing this will prevent an electrical shock.
2 Never spill liquid of any kind on the product. DO NOT attempt to service this product yourself
because opening or removing covers may expose you to dangerous voltage points and other
risks and may void your warranty. Refer all servicing to a Brother Authorized Service Center.
For the location of your nearest Brother Authorized Service Center, please call:
In USA: 1-877-BROTHER (1-877-276-8437)
In Canada: 1-877-BROTHER
3 Never install telephone wiring during a lightning storm. Never install a telephone wall socket
in a wet location. (MFC only)
4 Unplug this product from the power outlet and refer all servicing to Brother Authorized
Service Personnel under the following conditions:
When the power cord is damaged or frayed.
If liquid has been spilled into the product.
If the product has been exposed to rain or water.
5 If an extension cord is used with this product, make sure that the total ampere ratings on the
products plugged into the extension cord DO NOT exceed the extension cord ampere rating.
Also, make sure that the total of all products plugged into the AC power outlet does not
exceed 15 amperes (USA only). (MFC only)
3
CAUTION
The fact that the equipment operates satisfactorily does not imply that the power is grounded
and that the installation is completely safe. For your safety, if in any doubt about the effective
grounding of the power, consult a qualified electrician.
Never spill liquid of any kind and put metal objects on the plug and/or AC adaptor.
Choosing a location
Put your machine on a flat, stable surface that is free of vibration and shocks, such as a desk.
Put the machine near a telephone wall jack and a standard AC power outlet. Choose a location
where the temperature remains between 50 °F and 95 °F (10 °C and 35 °C).
Put your machine on a flat, stable surface that is free of vibration and shocks, such as a desk.
Make sure cables leading to the machine do not constitute a trip hazard.
DO NOT expose the machine to direct sunlight, excessive heat, open flames, salty or corrosive
gasses, moisture or dust.
DO NOT sit on the machine.
Avoid placing your machine on a carpet.
If the machine becomes hot, releases smoke, or generates any strong smells, immediately
unplug the machine from the AC power outlet. Call Brother Customer Service.
DO NOT put your hands on the edge of the machine. Doing this may cause injury.

only those controls that are covered by the operating instructions. Improper adjustment of other
controls may result in damage and will often require extensive work by a qualified technician
to restore the product to normal operation.
• If the product exhibits a distinct change in performance, indicating a need for service.
• Use of controls, adjustments or performance of procedures other than those specified in User’s
Guide may result in hazardous invisible radiation exposure.

Note
• DO NOT connect your machine to an AC power outlet on the same circuit as large appliances
or other equipment that might disrupt the power supply.
• DO NOT connect your machine to an AC power outlet controlled by wall switches or automatic
timers.
• Avoid interference sources, such as speakers or the base units of non-Brother cordless

appliances, we recommend that you use a voltage transformer or a high-frequency noise filter.
Use a voltage regulator if the power source is not stable.
• To protect your product against power surges, we recommend the use of a power protection
device (Surge Protector).

The REN is used to determine the number of devices that may be connected to a telephone line.
Excessive RENs on a telephone line may result in the devices not ringing in response to an
incoming call. In most but not all areas, the sum of RENs should not exceed five (5.0). To be
certain of the number of devices that may be connected to a line, as determined by the total RENs,
contact the local telephone company. For products approved after July 23, 2001, the REN for this
product is part of the product identifier that has the format US:AAAEQ##TXXXX.The digits
represented by ## are the REN without a decimal point (e.g., 06 is a REN of 0.6). For earlier
products, the REN is separately shown on the label.
If this equipment causes harm to the telephone network, the telephone company will notify you in
advance that temporary discontinuance of service may be required. But if advance notice isn't
practical, the telephone company will notify the customer as soon as possible. Also, you will be
advised of your right to file a complaint with the FCC if you believe it is necessary.
The telephone company may make changes in its facilities, equipment, operations or procedures
that could affect the operation of the equipment. If this happens the telephone company will
provide advance notice in order for you to make necessary modifications to maintain uninterrupted
service.
