Symbols Used in This Guide
The following symbols are used throughout this guide:
WARNING
CAUTION
Important
Note
Tells you what to do to avoid the risk of injury.
Tells you about procedures you must follow to avoid minor personal injury or
damage to the printer.
Indicates information or directions that should be followed. Ignoring them may result
in damage, or failed operations.
Indicates notes that provide information or directions that can help you better
understand and use the product more efficiently.
Important safety instructions
DO NOT use the printer where its use is prohibited, such as on an airplane. This could affect the airplane’s
equipment, resulting in an accident.
DO NOT use the printer in special environments, such as near medical equipment. Electromagnetic waves may
cause the medical equipment to malfunction.
DO NOT allow organic solvents, such as benzene, thinner, polish remover, or deodorisers, to come into contact
with the plastic cover. These may cause the plastic cover to warp or dissolve, resulting in an electrical shock or
fire.
WARNING
CAUTION
RD Rolls use thermal paper, therefore the colour of the label and the printing may change or fade if exposed to
sunlight or heat. When using outdoors and when durability is important, we DO NOT recommend using RD
Rolls.
Depending on the area, material, and environmental conditions, the label may unpeel or become permanently
affixed, and the colour of the label may change or be transferred to other objects. Before affixing the label, check
the environmental conditions and the material. Test the label by affixing a small piece of it to an inconspicuous
area of the intended surface.
IMPORTANT
DO NOT remove the labels affixed to the printer. These labels provide operational information and indicate the
printer's model number.
DO NOT push the power switch with an object that has a sharp point, such as a pen. This could damage the switch
or LED.
DO NOT transport the printer while cables are connected to the DC connector or mini-USB port. The connector and
ports could be damaged.
DO NOT store the printer in an area exposed to high temperatures, high humidity, direct sunlight, or dust. These
could cause discolouration or a malfunction.
ii
General Precautions
Printer
If the Bluetooth and wireless LAN functions are both turned on, the communication speed may decrease due to
radio wave interference. If this occurs, turn off the function you are not using (Bluetooth or wireless LAN function).
DO NOT cover or insert foreign objects into the paper exit slot, DC connector, or mini-USB port.
DO NOT use paint thinner, benzene, alcohol or any other organic solvents to clean the printer. Doing so may cause
damage to the surface finish. You can use isopropyl alcohol or ethanol only when cleaning the print head or roller.
Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the printer.
When not used for an extended period, remove the media roll from the printer.
Always keep the media roll compartment cover closed when printing.
When using optional accessories, use them as described in their instruction manuals.
This printer uses thermal paper. If the printed paper is marked with ink, for example written on or stamped, the ink
may cause the printed text to fade or become discoloured. In addition the applied ink may take some time to dry.
Printed text may fade or become discoloured if the label comes into contact with any of the following: vinyl chloride
products, leather goods such as wallets and purses, organic compounds such as alcohol, ketones, or esters,
adhesive tape, erasers, rubber mats, magic marker ink, permanent marker ink, correction fluid, carbon, glue, diazo
sensitised paper, hand lotion, hair care products, cosmetics, water, or sweat.
DO NOT touch the printer with wet hands.
DO NOT use folded, wet or damp paper, otherwise a paper misfeed or malfunction may occur.
DO NOT touch paper or labels with wet hands, otherwise a malfunction may occur.
RD Roll
Use only genuine Brother accessories and supplies (indicated by the mark).
If the label is affixed to a wet, dirty, or oily surface, it may peel off easily. Before affixing the label, clean the surface
to which the label will be affixed.
RD Rolls use thermal paper, therefore ultraviolet rays, wind, and rain may cause the colour of the label to fade and
the ends of the label to peel off.
DO NOT expose the RD Roll to direct sunlight, high temperatures, high humidity, or dust. Store in a cool, dark place.
Use the RD Roll soon after opening the package.
Scratching the printed surface of the label with your finger nails or metal objects, or touching the printed surface
with hands dampened by water, sweat, or medicated cream, etc., can cause the colour to change or fade.
DO NOT affix labels to people, animals, or plants. Never affix labels to public or private property without permission.
The last labels of the RD Roll may not be printed correctly, therefore, each roll contains more labels than is indicated
on the package.
When a label is removed after being affixed to a surface, a portion of the label may remain.
Once a label is affixed, it may be difficult to remove the label.

Recharging the Battery 1
While Installed in the Printer 1
To charge the rechargeable Li-ion battery (PA-BT-003), insert it into the printer and do the following:
• Before using the rechargeable Li-ion battery, use the following procedure to charge it.
• Print speed varies with the available battery power.
1 Make sure that the rechargeable Li-ion battery is installed in the printer.
2 Use the compatible Brother AC adapter (PA-AD-600) and AC power cord to connect the printer to an AC
power socket (see Recharging the Battery Using the AC Adapter (Optional) on page 9), or use the
Brother compatible car adapter to connect the printer to a DC power socket (see Recharging the Battery
Using the Car Adapter (Optional) on page 10).
1
The LED indicator light is orange when the battery is charging.
When the rechargeable Li-ion battery is fully charged, the LED indicator turns off (when power is turned
off) or lights in green (when power is turned on). Disconnect the AC adapter or car adapter from the
battery’s DC connector.

Note
Recharging the Battery Using the Car Adapter (Optional) 1
Connect your printer to your vehicle’s 12 V DC power socket (cigarette lighter or similar) to charge the
rechargeable battery.
1 Make sure that the rechargeable Li-ion battery is installed in the printer.
2 Connect the car adapter to the vehicle’s 12 V DC power socket.
3 Open the interface cover and connect the car adapter to your printer.

The car adapter is an optional accessory.
Recharging the Battery Using the Battery Charger (Optional) 1
When you use an AC power socket, up to four battery chargers can be connected together for charging at
the same time.
For more information, see the operation manual that is included with the battery charger.
10
Setting Up the Printer
Stopping Rechargeable Li-ion Battery Charging 1
To stop the battery charging, disconnect the AC adapter or car adapter from the DC connector.
Tips on Using the Rechargeable Li-ion Battery 1
High density (dark) printing discharges the battery faster than low density printing. You can adjust the print
density setting in the Device settings (see Device Settings on page 52).
The battery charging must take place in an environment with a temperature between 0°C and 40°C,
otherwise the battery will not be charged. If the charging stops because the environment temperature is
too low or too high, place your printer in an environment with a temperature between 0°C and 40°C and
try charging again.
If you use your printer when both the battery is installed and the AC adapter or car adapter is connected,
charging may stop even if the battery is not fully charged.
Rechargeable Li-ion Battery Characteristics 1
To ensure the highest performance and longest life from the battery:
1
Do not use or store the battery in a location exposed to extreme high or low temperatures as it may
deteriorate more quickly.
Remove the battery when storing your printer for long periods of time.
Store batteries with less than a 50% charge in a cool dry place out of direct sunlight.
Recharge the battery every six months if it is stored for long periods of time.
It is normal and safe for the printer to become warm while charging. Disconnect the charger and stop using
the printer if it becomes hot to the touch.
See the Product Safety Guide for other precautions.
