This symbol is placed near the thermal head to indicate that it is easily damaged. Observe

the precautions for handling electrostatic sensitive devices.

Please be sure to read

To use this product in safety, please follow the precautions given below.

WARNING

 If you notice smoke, a strange smell, or a strange sound, turn off the power immediately, and remove the USB

cable and/or battery pack. Then contact the dealer.

is in progress, or put your hand into the outlet even when printing is not in progress.

 The printer cover can be opened when replacing the paper. However, since the tear bar is on the inside of

the printer cover, be careful not to place your face or hands too close to the tear ba r.

 During and immediately after printing, the area around the thermal head is very hot.Do not touch it, as you

could be burned.

 If any battery fluid gets on your skin or clothing, immediately wash the affected area with fresh water.

Otherwise, skin damage may result.

hands. Do not touch the thermal head heating element.

 There is a risk of damage to the driver IC of the thermal head from static electricity.Never directly touch the

IC.

 Do not operate the printer if there is moisture on the front surface of the head from condensation, etc.



Thermal Paper Handling

 Only use thermal paper with the designated specifications.The printing quality and working life of the

thermal head cannot be guaranteed if any paper other than that recommended is used. In particular, if ion

concentration of [Na+, K+, C1-] is high, it may drastically reduce the working life of the thermal head. Please

exercise caution.

 Store the thermal paper in a cool, dry, dark location.

 Do not rub the thermal paper with a hard object.

 Do not leave the thermal paper in contact with plastic film, an eraser, or adhesive tape for a long period of
