understanding that you will, after receipt of the

You are then expected to pack the Product  
that Brother agreed to replace in the package  
from the replacement Product and return it to

by Brother in accordance with the instructions  
provided by Brother. Since you will be in

new Product only if: (i) you do not return your  
original Product to Brother within five (5)  
business days; (ii) the problems with your  
original Product are not covered by the limited  
warranty; (iii) the proper packaging  
instructions are not followed and has caused

period on your original Product has expired or

covered by the balance of the limited warranty  
period remaining on the original Product, plus  
an additional thirty (30) days. You will keep the  
replacement Product that is sent to you and

defective in material or workmanship. This warranty applies only to products purchased and

by the end-user/purchaser to a "Brother" Authorized Service Centre, together with your

Product Name: BCL-D60  
comply with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This  
device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference  
received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.  
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device,  
pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection  
against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses, and can  
radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions,  
may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that  
interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful  
interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment  
off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following  
measures:  
Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.  
Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.  
Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is  
connected.  
Call the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.  
This transmitter must not be co-located or operated in conjunction with any other antenna or  
transmitter.

The available scientific evidence does not show that any health problems are associated with  
using low power wireless devices. There is no proof, however, that these low power wireless  
devices are absolutely safe. Low power Wireless devices emit low levels of radio frequency  
energy (RF) in the microwave range while being used. Whereas high levels of RF can produce  
health effects (by heating tissue), exposure to low-level RF that does not produce heating  
effects causes no known adverse health effects. Many studies of low-level RF exposures have  
not found any biological effects. Some studies have suggested that some biological effects  
might occur, but such findings have not been confirmed by additional research. This equipment  
has been tested and found to comply with FCC radiation exposure limits set forth for an  
uncontrolled equipment and meets the FCC radio frequency (RF) Exposure Guidelines in  
Supplement C to OET65.
