Important Safety Instructions - Brother MFC-J280W Safety Manual

IMPORTANT
• Disruption of power can wipe out information in the machine's memory.
• DO NOT put objects on top of the machine.
• (MFC models only)
DO NOT place anything in front of the machine that will block received faxes. DO NOT place
anything in the path of received faxes.
• If the machine does not operate normally when the operating instructions are followed, adjust
only those controls that are covered by the operating instructions. Improper adjustment of other
controls may result in damage or minor exposure to electromagnetic waves and will often
require extensive work by a qualified technician to restore the machine to normal operation.
• A distinct change in the machine's performance may, indicate a need for service.
• The power cord, including extensions, should be no longer than 16.5 feet (5 meters).
DO NOT connect your machine to an AC power outlet on the same circuit as large appliances
or other equipment that requires a significant amount of electricity to operate. Doing this may
cause an overvoltage, tripping your circuit breaker or blowing your fuse. If you cannot avoid
using the machine with these 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.
• Lightning and power surges can damage this machine. We recommend that you use a quality
surge protection device on the AC power line and any telephone (RJ-11) (MFC models only)
or Ethernet (RJ-45) (Network models only) cable plugged into the machine, or that you unplug
the cords during a lightning storm.
• (For Touchscreen models)
DO NOT touch the Touchscreen immediately after plugging in the power cord or turning on the
machine. Doing this may cause an error.
