Safety Precautions
WARNING
P-touch Labeler
Follow these guidelines to avoid fire, electric shock, the risk of injury to yourself or others,
and/or damage to the printer or other property.
DO NOT allow the printer to get wet or use
the printer in areas that may become wet,
such as bathrooms or near sinks.
DO NOT touch any metal parts near the
print head. The print head becomes very
hot during use and remains very hot
immediately after use. Do not touch it
directly with your hands.
DO NOT disassemble the P-touch labeler.
For inspection, adjustment, and repair of
the labeler, contact the retail outlet where
the P-touch labeler was purchased or your
local authorized service center.
Plastic bags are used in the packaging of
your labeler. To avoid danger of
suffocation, keep these bags away from
babies and children.
If you notice heat, an abnormal odor,
discoloration of the printer, deformation, or
anything else unusual while using or
storing the printer, immediately
discontinue use of the printer, disconnect
the AC adapter, and remove the batteries.
To prevent damage, do not drop or hit the
P-touch labeler.
DO NOT use the P-touch labeler with a foreign object in it. If water, a metallic substance, or
any other foreign object enters the P-touch labeler, disconnect the AC adapter and remove
batteries, and contact the retail outlet where the P-touch labeler was purchased or your local
authorized service center.
Alkaline batteries/Ni-MH rechargeable batteries
Follow these guidelines to avoid liquid leakage, heat, rupture of the battery and cause
personal injury.
DO NOT throw into fire, heat up, short-
circuit, recharge, or disassemble the
battery.
DO NOT allow batteries to get wet, for
example, by handling them with wet hands
or spilling beverages onto them.
If fluid leaked from the batteries gets into
your eyes, immediately rinse your eyes
with a large amount of clean water, and
then seek medical attention. If leaked fluid
enters your eyes, loss of eyesight or other
damage to the eyes may result.
DO NOT allow a metal object to contact
both the plus and minus ends of a battery.
DO NOT use sharp objects, such as
tweezers or a metallic pen, to remove or
replace the batteries.
DO NOT use a damaged, deformed, or
leaking battery, or a battery whose label is
damaged. Doing so may result in
generating excessive heat. Use of a
damaged or leaking battery may also lead
to battery fluid getting on your hands. If
fluid leaked from the batteries gets onto
your hands, there is a possibility of
chemical burns. If leaked fluid gets onto
your hands and you rub your eyes, loss of
eyesight or other damage to the eyes may
result. Immediately rinse your hands with a
large amount of clean water, and then seek
medical attention.
