Liquid
Do not place any container with water or chemicals, such as flower vase or cup, as well as small metallic objects, near the printer. If any of these should drop into the printer, immediately turn off the power and contact your nearest dealer or service center. Continued use creates a danger of fire or electric shock.
Foreign Matter
Do not drop or insert metallic or flammable objects into the openings on the printer (such as outlets for cables). If any of these should fall into the printer, immediately turn off the power and contact your nearest dealer or service center. Continued use creates a danger of fire or electric shock.
Dropping and Damage
Should the printer ever be dropped or otherwise become damaged, immedi­ately turn off the power and contact your nearest dealer or service center. Continued use creates a danger of fire or electric shock.
Abnormal Conditions
Continued use of the printer while it is emitting smoke or strange odors creates the danger of fire or electric shock. Immediately turn off the power and contact your nearest dealer or service center. Do not try to service the printer by yourself.
Disassembly
Never try to take the unit apart or modify it in any way. Doing so creates the danger of fire or electric shock. Contact your nearest dealer or service center for checking, adjustment, or repair.

Warning
Caution
AC Adapter/Battery Charger (Option)
• 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 one may create the danger of fire or electric shock.
• Never use the battery charger with any other battery pack except for the specified one. Doing so can rupture the battery, cause leakage, fire or electric shock.
• Never cut, damage or modify the power cord. Also, never place heavy objects on the power cord or heat or pull the power cord. Doing so may damage the cord and
1
Safety Precautions
create the danger or fire or electric shock.
• Should the power cord ever become seriously damaged (internal wiring exposed or shorted), contact your nearest dealer or service center for repair. Continued use of such a cord creates the danger of fire or electric shock.
• Never modify, excessively bend, twist, or pull the power cord. Doing so creates the danger of fire or electric shock.
Location
Do not locate the printer in the area subjected to high humidity or dew. If dew forms inside the printer, immediately turn off the printer and do not use it until it has been dried up. Continued use creates the danger of electric shock or the printer damage.
Power
• 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 shock.
• The AC adapter set provided for this printer is specific to this printer. Do not use it for other electric equipment.
Thermal Head and Stepping Motor
• The thermal head gets very hot after printing. Take care when replacing the label or cleaning the printer just after printing to avoid burns.
• Touching the end of the thermal head with bare hands may cause injury. Take care when replacing the label or cleaning the printer to avoid injury.
• Do not try to replace the thermal head by yourself. Doing so creates the danger of injury, burns, or electric shock.
Easy Cutter
This part contains a blade. Take care to avoid being injured by the blade and other sharp parts in the printer.
Replacing the Battery Pack
• Use only the specified battery pack.
• When replacing the battery pack, make sure to install the pack in the correct orientation. Incorrectly replacing the battery creates the danger of injury or damage to surrounding areas, explosion is caused.
• Replacing a small-size rechargeable battery (Lithium ion battery) Apply insulation treatment for the old battery pack by sealing the contact with tape or the like 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.
1
Safety Precautions
Leaving the printer unused for a long time
If you have no plan to use the printer for a long time, remove the battery pack from the printer and unplug the AC adapter from the wall outlet.
Maintenance and Cleaning

FCC REQUIREMENT
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.
FCC WARNING:
Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the manufacturer for compliance could void the user's authority to operate the equipment.
FCC NOTICE:
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:
-Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
- Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
-Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.
-Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
This transmitter must not be co-located or operated in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.
This manual show that both the specification of Bluetooth and wireless LAN. Please refer to the corresponding section which shows specification of Bluetooth or wireless LAN.
Wireless LAN specification:
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 to 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. The MB400i-W2/MB410i-W2 has been tested and found to comply with FCC radiation exposure limits set forth for uncontrolled equipment and meets the FCC radio frequency (RF) Exposure Guideline in Supplement C to OET65. Please refer to the SAR test report that was uploaded at FCC website.
Bluetooth specification:
This equipment complies with FCC radiation exposure limits set forth for uncontrolled equipment and meets the FCC radio frequency (RF) Exposure Guideline in Supplement C to OET65. This equipment has very low levels of RF energy that is deemed to comply without testing of specific absorption radio (SAR).

Properly shielded a grounded cables and connectors must be used for connection to host computer and / or peripherals in order to meet FCC emission limits. AC adaptor with ferrite core must be used for RF interference suppression.
