CAUTION
RD Rolls use thermal paper, therefore the color 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 color 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.
Printer
Do not hold the printer by the RD Roll compartment cover or the roll guide.
There is a risk that the cover could detach or the printer could fall.
When connecting cables and accessories, follow the applicable instructions.
Do not touch the print head and metal parts sorrounding the head.
If the printer is used for a long periods of time, the parts of the printer shown may get hot enough to cause a low
temperature burn.
Rechargeable Li-ion Battery
If liquid from the battery gets onto skin or clothes, immediately rinse with water.
AC Adapter, Car Adapter
Make sure you can always access the cord of the adapter so that you can disconnect it immediately in the event of an
emergency.
Belt Clip
Make sure that the belt clip is attached securely to the printer and the wearer's belt.
5
CAUTION
Warning Label
Do not touch the blade and print head.
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 button or LED indicator with an object that has a sharp point, such as a pen. This could
damage the button or LED.
DO NOT transport the printer while cables are connected to the DC connector or 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 discoloration or a malfunction.
6
General Precautions
Printer
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 roll from the printer.
Always keep the roll compartment cover closed when printing.
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 discolored. In addition the applied ink may take some time to dry.
Printed text may fade or become discolored 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
sensitized 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 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 color 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 color 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.
Printer, AC adapter, Car adapter, or Accessories
Observe all applicable regulations when disposing of these products.

Note
Stop Battery Charging 1
To stop the battery charging, disconnect the AC adapter or car adapter from the DC connector.
Tips on Using the 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 51).
The battery charging must take place in an environment with a temperature between 32°F and 104°F (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 the printer in an environment with a temperature between 32°F
and 104°F (0°C and 40°C) and try charging again.
If you use the 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.
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 the 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.
When the printer is turned on, the battery health status is displayed on the LCD.
For battery health status displays, see LCD on page 15.
When not Using the Battery 1
The printer may be operated without the battery in the following ways:
When an AC adapter (PA-AD-600A) or car adapter (PA-CD-600CG) is connected to the printer.
When the printer is installed in the Active Docking Station (PA-CR-002).
When the battery is not installed, securely fasten the battery cover with self-tapping screws (M2.6 x 0.24
in. (6 mm)) (not included). (RJ-4230B only)
