•

Display:

The

backlit

panel

will

gradually

decrease

its

brightness

as

it

is

used.

To

maximize

the

life

of

the

display,

turn

the

back

light

off

when

working

in

a

well

-lit

location.

Never

increase

the

brightness

more

than

necessary.

After

much

use

panel

may

expire.

When

this

occurs,

contact

your

local

Brother

service

loca-

tion

to

have

the

WARNING:

it

is

a

good

practice

to

save

every

text

file

to

disk

after

a

work

session

in

the

Create

Document

mode

to

provide

a

back

up

of

your

files

in

case

anything

should

go

wrong.

Failure

to

save

your

files

to

disk

before

using

the

self

demo,

disk

application

function,

or

convert

function

of

the

File

Management

mode

will

cause

you

to

lose

your

text

files.

Since

these

programs

use

the

entire

memory,

all

text

files

in

internal

memory

must

be

saved

to

disk

before

the

programs

can

be

accessed.

We

are

sure

that

if

you

forget

once

and

lose

your

information,

you

will

never

forget

again.
