WARNING
For users using the AC Adapter (SA-AD-001):
The AC Adapter should be connected to an
AC power source within the range indicated
on Specications in the Online 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 re. If you are not sure
what kind of power source you have, contact
a qualied electrician.
DO NOT expose the unit to direct sunlight,
excessive heat, open ames, 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 re.
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 re should water come into contact with
the unit (including condensation from heating, air
conditioning, and/or ventilation equipment that
may be sufcient to create a short circuit or re).
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 re 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 re 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 re. Clearance is needed between the
product and the wall.
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 at, 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.
CAUTION
Avoid placing the unit in a high-trafc area. If you
must place it in a high-trafc 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 trip hazard.
• 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.
