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 of 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. PT-P750W has
been tested and found to comply with FCC radiation exposure limits set forth for an
uncontrolled environment and meets the FCC radio frequency (RF) Exposure Guidelines.

Carefully observe the following precautions for the rechargeable Li-ion battery
(hereafter referred to as "rechargeable battery"), If these precautions are not followed,
overheating, leaking, or cracks in the battery may result in an electrical short,
explosion, smoke, fire, electric shock, injury to yourself or others, or damage to the
product or other property.

• Use the rechargeable battery only for its intended purpose. The P-touch labeler and
rechargeable battery are designed to function exclusively with each other. Do not insert
a different rechargeable battery into the P-touch labeler or insert the rechargeable
battery into a different P-touch labeler, otherwise fire or damage may result.

• To charge the rechargeable battery, insert the rechargeable battery into the
P-touch labeler, and then use the AC adapter designed specifically for this
P-touch labeler.

• DO NOT charge the rechargeable battery near a fire or in direct sunlight. This could
activate the protection circuitry, which is designed to prevent danger from high heat.
Activation of the protection circuitry could cause charging to stop, charging to occur
with excessive current or voltage if the protection circuitry fails, or an abnormal
chemical reaction within the battery.

• When charging the rechargeable battery, use only a battery charger designed
specifically for the rechargeable battery.

• DO NOT allow wires or other metal objects to come into contact with the terminals
of the rechargeable battery. Do not carry or store the rechargeable battery with
metal objects such as necklaces or hairpins. This could cause an electrical short,
and cause metal objects to overheat.

• DO NOT use or leave the rechargeable battery near fire, heaters, or other high
temperature (above 176°F/80°C) locations.

• DO NOT allow the rechargeable battery to come into contact with or to be immersed
in water.

• DO NOT use the rechargeable battery in corrosive environments, such as areas
where salty air, salt water, acids, alkalis, corrosive gases, chemicals, or any
corrosive liquid are present.

• DO NOT use the rechargeable battery if it is damaged or leaking.

• DO NOT directly solder any connections to the rechargeable battery. This could
cause internal insulation to melt, gas to be emitted, or safety mechanisms to fail.

• DO NOT use the rechargeable battery with the polarity (+) (-) reversed. Check the
orientation of the rechargeable battery before inserting it, and do not try to force the
rechargeable battery into the P-touch labeler. Charging the rechargeable battery
with the polarity reversed could cause an abnormal chemical reaction within the
rechargeable battery or abnormal current flow during discharge.

• DO NOT directly connect the rechargeable battery to a household electrical supply.

• Liquid (electrolyte) leaking from the P-touch labeler or rechargeable battery may
indicate that the rechargeable battery is damaged. If the rechargeable battery leaks,
immediately stop using the P-touch labeler, unplug the AC adapter, and isolate the
P-touch labeler by putting it in a bag.
Do not touch the electrolyte. If electrolyte gets in the eyes, do not rub the eyes.
Immediately rinse liberally with tap water or other clean water and seek the advice
of a medical professional. If left alone, the electrolyte could cause eye damage. If
electrolyte contacts your skin or clothing, immediately rinse them with water.

• DO NOT put the rechargeable battery, or a P-touch labeler with the rechargeable
battery installed, into a microwave oven or a high pressure container.

• DO NOT leave the rechargeable battery without power in the main unit for a long period
of time. This could shorten the life of the rechargeable battery or lead to an electrical short.

• If the P-touch labeler can only be used for a short period of time, even though the
rechargeable battery is fully charged, the rechargeable battery may have reached
the end of its service life. Replace the rechargeable battery with a new one. When
removing and replacing the rechargeable battery, cover the terminals of the old
rechargeable battery with tape to avoid creating a short in the battery.

• DO NOT disassemble, modify, or attempt to repair the rechargeable battery.

• DO NOT dispose of the rechargeable battery in fire or cause it to overheat. This
could cause the internal insulation to melt, gas to be emitted, or safety mechanisms
to fail. Additionally, the electrolyte solution could catch fire.

• DO NOT puncture the rechargeable battery with any objects, subject it to severe
shocks or throw it. Damage to the rechargeable battery's protection circuit could
cause the rechargeable battery to be recharged at an abnormal current/voltage or
cause an abnormal chemical reaction within the rechargeable battery.

• DO NOT incinerate the rechargeable battery or dispose of it with household waste.

 Tips on Using the Rechargeable Li-ion Battery

• Charge the rechargeable Li-ion battery before use. Do not use it before it is charged.

• The rechargeable Li-ion battery charging can take place in 41°F-95°F (5°C-35°C)
environments. Charge the rechargeable Li-ion battery in an environment in this
temperature range. If the surrounding temperature is out of this range, the
rechargeable Li-ion battery will not be charged, and the battery indicator will remain lit.

• If the P-touch labeler is used when both the rechargeable Li-ion battery is installed
and the AC adapter is connected, the battery indicator may turn off and charging
may stop even if the rechargeable Li-ion battery has not been fully charged.

 Rechargeable Li-ion Battery Characteristics

Understanding the properties of the rechargeable Li-ion battery will allow you to
optimize its usage.

• Using or storing the rechargeable Li-ion battery in a location exposed to high or low
temperatures may accelerate its deterioration. In particular, using a rechargeable
Li-ion battery with a high charge (charged 90% or more) in a location exposed to
high temperatures will considerably accelerate battery deterioration.

• Using the P-touch labeler while the rechargeable Li-ion battery is installed and
charging may accelerate the battery’s deterioration. If using the P-touch labeler
when the rechargeable Li-ion battery is installed, disconnect the AC adapter.

• If the P-touch labeler will not be used for longer than one month, remove the
rechargeable Li-ion battery from the P-touch labeler, and then store the battery in a
cool place away from direct sunlight.

• If the rechargeable Li-ion battery will not be used for a long period of time, we
recommend charging it every 6 months.

• If you touch a part of the device while a Li-ion battery is charging, the device may
feel warm. This is normal, and the device may be used safely. If the P-touch labeler
becomes extremely hot, discontinue use.
