Product Safety Guide

Failure to follow these instructions may result in an increased risk of personal injury or damage to property, including through fire, electrical shock, burns or suffocation.

Symbols and conventions used in the documentation

The following symbols and conventions are used throughout the documentation.

Follow all warnings and instructions marked on the machine.

The unit should be connected to an AC power source within the range indicated on Specifications in the User's Guide. DO NOT connect it to a DC power source or inverter. Doing this might cause an electrical shock or a risk of fire. If you are not sure what kind of power source you have, contact a qualified electrician.

This product must be installed near an AC power outlet that is easily accessible. In case of an emergency, you must unplug the power cord from the AC power outlet to shut off the power completely.

• Brother cannot accept any financial or other responsibilities that may be the result of your use of this information, including direct, special or consequential damages. There are no warranties extended or granted by this document.
• This machine has been certified to comply with FCC standards, which are applied to the USA only.

DO NOT expose the unit to direct sunlight, excessive heat, open flames, corrosive gasses, moisture or dust.

DO NOT place the unit on a carpet or rug, as this will expose it to dust. Exposing the unit to dust may create a risk of an electrical short or fire. It may also damage the unit and/or render it inoperable.

DO NOT place the unit near heaters, air conditioners, electric fans, refrigerators, radiators, or water. Doing so may create the risk of a short circuit or fire should water come into contact with the unit (including condensation from heating, air conditioning, and/or ventilation equipment that may be sufficient to create a short circuit or fire).

DO NOT place the unit near chemicals or in a place where chemicals could be spilled on it. Should chemicals come into contact with the unit, there may be a risk of fire or electrical shock. In particular, organic solvents or liquids such as benzene, paint thinner, polish remover, or deodorizer may melt or dissolve the plastic cover and/or cables, resulting in a risk of fire or electrical shock. These or other chemicals may also cause the unit to malfunction or become discolored.

The product should be placed so as not to come into contact with any wall or other device. Otherwise, it could create a risk of overheating and/or fire. Clearance is needed between the product and the wall.

Avoid placing the unit in a high-traffic area. If you must place it in a high-traffic area, ensure that the unit 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 unit.

Ensure that cables and cords leading to the unit are secured so as not to pose a tripping hazard.

Make sure that no part of the unit protrudes from the desk or stand where the unit is located. Make sure that the unit is located on a flat, level, and stable surface free from vibration. Failure to observe these precautions could cause the unit to fall, causing injury to you or to others and serious damage to the unit.

• DO NOT place your machine 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 machine's electronic components.
• DO NOT connect the unit to an AC power outlet controlled by wall switches or automatic timers. Disruption of power can delete information from the machine's memory, and repeated cycling of the power can damage the unit.

To use the unit safely

ELECTRICAL HAZARDS
Failure to follow the warnings in this section may create the risk of an electrical shock. In addition, you could create the risk of an electrical short, which may create the risk of a fire.

There are high-voltage electrodes inside the unit. Before you access the inside of the machine, including for routine maintenance such as cleaning, make sure you have unplugged the power cord from the AC power outlet and that you have unplugged any Ethernet (ADS-2700W only) cables from the machine.

DO NOT push objects of any kind into the unit through slots or openings in the machine, as they may touch dangerous voltage points or short out parts.

DO NOT continue using the unit if it has been dropped or the machine has been damaged. Instead, unplug the unit from the power outlet and contact Brother Authorized Service Personnel.

If water, other liquids, or metal objects get inside the unit, immediately unplug the unit from the AC power outlet and contact Brother Authorized Service Personnel.

Power Cord Safety:

• Use only the power cord supplied with this product.
• DO NOT allow anything to rest on the power cord.
• DO NOT place the unit where people can walk on the cord.
• DO NOT place the unit in a position where the cord is stretched or strain is otherwise put on the cord, as it may become worn or frayed.
• DO NOT use the unit or handle the cord if the cord has become worn or frayed. If the cord has become worn or frayed, unplug the unit but DO NOT touch the damaged/frayed part.
• Brother strongly recommends that you DO NOT use any type of extension cord.

DO NOT use a damaged AC adapter.

DO NOT place heavy objects on, damage, or modify the AC adapter.

DO NOT forcibly bend or pull the cord of the AC adapter.

DO NOT forcibly pull the cord of the AC adapter.

DO NOT drop, hit, or otherwise damage the AC adapter.

DO NOT use or touch the unit during a thunderstorm when the AC adapter is plugged in. There may be a remote risk of electrical shock from lightning when the machine is used during a thunderstorm.

When disconnecting the AC adapter from the machine or from the power outlet, always hold the connector, not the cable, and pull firmly. Failure to do so may result in exposed or broken power cord wires and/or create a risk of fire, or electrical shock.

DO NOT attempt to service the unit yourself because disassembling the unit 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)
