Important safety instructions
Rechargeable Li-ion battery (Optional)
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, electrical 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 Label Printer and
rechargeable battery are designed to be used together exclusively. DO NOT insert the
rechargeable battery into a different P-touch Label Printer, or a different rechargeable battery
into your P-touch Label Printer, otherwise a fire or damage may occur.
To charge the rechargeable battery, insert it into the P-touch Label Printer, and then use the AC
adapter designed specifically for this P-touch Label Printer.
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/voltage if the protection circuitry fails, or an abnormal chemical reaction within the
battery.
English
DANGER
When charging the rechargeable battery, use only the battery charger designed specifically for
your 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 metal objects such as wires,
necklaces, or hairpins to overheat.
DO NOT use or leave the rechargeable battery near fire, heaters, or other high-temperature
(above 176F/80C) 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 is 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 Label Printer. 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.

Rechargeable Li-ion battery (Optional)
A liquid (electrolyte) leaking from the P-touch Label Printer or rechargeable battery may indicate
that the rechargeable battery is damaged. If the rechargeable battery leaks, immediately stop
using the P-touch Label Printer, unplug the AC adapter, and isolate the P-touch Label Printer by
placing it in a bag.
DO NOT touch the electrolyte. If the electrolyte gets in the eyes, do not rub them. Immediately
rinse the eyes liberally with tap water or other clean water and seek the advice of a medical
professional. If left unattended, the electrolyte could cause eye damage. If the electrolyte comes
into contact with your skin or clothing, immediately rinse them with water.
DO NOT put the rechargeable battery, or a P-touch Label Printer with the rechargeable battery
installed, into a microwave oven or high-pressure container.
DO NOT disassemble, modify, or attempt to repair the rechargeable battery.
DO NOT dispose of the rechargeable battery in fire or intentionally 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.
DANGER
DO NOT leave a drained rechargeable battery in the P-touch Label Printer for a long period of
time. This could shorten the life of the rechargeable battery or lead to an electrical short.
DO NOT incinerate the rechargeable battery or dispose of it with household waste.
If the P-touch Label Printer 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.
WARNING
P-touch Label Printer
Follow these guidelines to avoid a fire, electrical shock, the risk of injury to yourself or others, and damage
to the P-touch Label Printer or other property.
DO NOT touch any metal parts near the print head. The print head becomes very hot during and
immediately after use. DO NOT touch it directly with your hands.
