Standard Telephone and FCC Notices
These notices are in effect on models sold and used in 
the United States only.
This equipment is hearing aid compatible.
When programming emergency numbers and/or making test calls to emergency numbers:
Remain on the line and briefly explain to the dispatcher the reason for the call before 
hanging up.
Perform such activities in the off-peak hours, such as early morning or late evening.
This equipment complies with Part 68 of FCC Rules. On the rear panel of this 
equipment is a label that contains, among other information, the FCC Registration 
Number and Ringer Equivalence Number (REN) for this equipment. You must, upon 
request, provide this information to your telephone company.
You may safely connect this equipment to the telephone line by means of a standard 
modular jack, USOC RJ11C.
An FCC compliant telephone cord with a modular plug is provided with this 
equipment. This equipment is designed to be connected to the telephone line or 
premise’s wiring using a compatible modular jack that is Part 68 compliant. See the 
Installation section of this manual for details.
The REN is useful to determine the quantity of devices you may connect to your 
telephone line and still have those devices ring when your telephone number is called. 
In most, but not all areas, the sum of the RENs of all devices connected to one line 
should not exceed five (5). To be certain of the number of devices you may connect to 
your line, as determined by the REN, you should contact your local telephone company 
to determine the maximum REN for your calling area. If your fax damages the 
telephone line, the telephone company may discontinue your service temporarily. If 
possible, they will notify you in advance. But if advance notice is not practical, you will 
be notified as soon as possible. You will be informed of your right to file a complaint 
with the FCC.
Your telephone company may make changes to its facilities, equipment, operations or 
procedures that could affect the proper functioning of your equipment. If they do, you 
will be notified in advance to give you an opportunity to maintain uninterrupted 
telephone service. 
If you experience trouble with this fax machine, please contact a Brother authorized 
service center for information on obtaining service or repair. The telephone company 
may ask that you disconnect this equipment from the line until the problem has been 
corrected or until you are sure that the equipment is not malfunctioning. If you are not 
able to solve a problem with your fax machine, contact Brother Customer Service.
