• Keep away from flame or other sources of heat. Failure to do this may cause fire or machine failure.

• Do not drop or shock the machine as this may cause machine failure.

• During lightning, turn off and keep away from the machine because of danger of electric shock and machine

failure.

• Avoid locations subject to rapid change in temperature as this causes condensation, causing electric shock

or machine failure.

• Do not damage the print head, platen or strip roller with a sharp object. Doing so may cause machine failure.

• Do not touch or contact the print head element with a metal object. Doing so may cause machine failure.

• Use the specified media only. Failure to do this may cause machine failure.

• Be sure to turn off the machine before replacing the battery, or machine failure may occur.

• Do not charge the battery near flame or under direct sunlight. High temperature may activate or damage the

protection unit of the battery, disabling the electric charge or causing it to overheat, burst, or burn.

failure.

• Keep the battery away from flame, a heat source or other locations subject to high temperature.

Failure to do this may cause it to over heat or burn.

• Use the specified battery charger only. Failure to do this may cause the battery to overheat, burst or burn.

• Do not force the battery into the machine or battery charger. Doing so may cause the battery to overheat,

burst or burn. Check for the correct electrode.

• Do not connect the battery to a power outlet or a car cigarette lighter jack as this may cause the battery to

overheat, burst or burn.

• Because the B-EP802-BT-QM-R and the B-EP804-BT-QM-R Series battery is exclusively for the B-EP2DL

and the B-EP4DL Series printer, respectively, do not use the battery in other machines. Doing so may damage the battery or affect the performance and life of the battery.
