The printer is generally resistant to vibration possibly caused during normal transportation.
However, do not apply extreme vibration or shock by dropping the printer.
•Do not disassemble or modify the printer
The printer has high-precision components inside requiring fine adjustment.
•Connect the correct cables to the input terminals
Cables of the correct specifications are required for connection to the external equipment
through the external input terminals. Contact your nearest dealer or service center if necessary.
•Use the recommended accessories
Using optional equipment other than the specified equipment may cause a malfunction. Always
use the equipment specified in this guide.

Battery Charger
(Option)
•Never try to take apart the battery pack or modify it in any
way such as with a solder iron.
•Never expose the battery to fire, or take any actions that may
lead to shorting.
•When charging the battery pack, make sure to use the
printer or the specified battery charger.
•Use only the specified voltage. Using a different voltage may
create the danger of fire or electric shock.
•Use only the specified AC adapter. Using a different adapter
unit may create the danger of fire or electric shock.
•Never use the battery charger with any other battery pack
except for the specified unit. Doing so can rupture the battery, cause leakage, or cause fire or an electric shock.

Power
Print Head
Table 2-3, Usage Precautions
Do not locate the printer in areas with high humidity or dew. If
dew forms inside the printer, immediately turn it off, and do not
use it until the dew has dried up. Otherwise, continued use
creates the danger of electric shocks or printer damage.
•Do not use wet hands to operate the power switch, replace
the battery pack or unplug the AC adapter or battery charger.
Doing so creates the danger of electric shocks.
•The AC adapter set provided for this printer is specific to this
printer. Do not use it for other electrical equipment.
•The print head gets very hot after printing. To avoid burns,
take care when replacing the label or cleaning the printer just
after printing.
•Touching the end of the print head with bare hands may
cause injury. Take care when replacing the label or cleaning
the printer.
•Do not try to replace the print head by yourself. Doing so creates the danger of injury, burns, or electric shocks.
Battery Pack
Storage
Maintenance
•When replacing the Battery Pack use only the specified
design.
•Make sure to install the pack in the correct orientation. Incorrectly replacing the battery creates the danger of injury or
damage to surrounding areas, if an explosion is caused.
•To dispose of a small rechargeable battery (Lithium ion battery), seal the metal contacts with tape, and ask our sales
representative or service center for the measures to be taken
to recycle the reusable materials. Do not place the battery
pack together with other batteries such as dry batteries.
If you have no plan to use the printer for a long time, remove the
battery pack from the printer and/or unplug the AC adapter from
the wall outlet before storing the printer (if you were using the AC
adapter as the power source).
For safe maintenance or cleaning of the printer, make sure to
remove the battery pack and the AC adapter from the printer.
