INTRODUCTION
16 General Precautions
Rechargeable Li-ion battery
• At the time of purchase, the rechargeable Li-ion battery is slightly charged so that the
operation of the P-touch labeler can be verified; however, the rechargeable Li-ion battery
should be fully charged with the AC adapter before the P-touch labeler is used.
• If the P-touch labeler will not be used for a long period of time, remove the rechargeable
Li-ion battery from the P-touch labeler, and then store it in a location where it is not
exposed to static electricity, high humidity, or high temperatures (temperatures between
59 ° F/15 ° C and 77 ° F/25 ° C and 40% to 60% humidity are recommended). In order to
maintain the efficiency and life of the Li-ion rechargeable battery, charge it at least every
six months.
• If there is anything unusual about the Li-ion rechargeable battery the first time it is used,
for example, if it appears rusted or if it overheats, do not use the Li-ion rechargeable
battery. Contact the retail outlet where the P-touch labeler was purchased.
P-touch labeler
• DO NOT install P-touch labeler near any device that will cause electromagnetic
interference. P-touch labeler may malfunction if left near a television, radio, etc.
• DO NOT use the P-touch labeler in any way or for any purpose not described in this guide.
Doing so may result in injury or damage the P-touch labeler.
• DO NOT put any foreign objects into the tape exit slot, AC adapter connector, or any other
part of the P-touch labeler.
• DO NOT touch the print head (refer to page 12) with your fingers. Use the optional print
head cleaning cassette (TZe-CL4), the self-cleaning function of the P-touch labeler, or a
soft wipe (e.g. a cotton swab) when cleaning the print head (refer to “Cleaning the Unit”
in the User’s Guide.).
• DO NOT clean any part of the P-touch labeler with alcohol or other organic solvents. Only
use a soft, dry cloth.
• DO NOT place the P-touch labeler in direct sunlight, near heaters or other hot appliances,
or in any location exposed to extremely high or low temperatures, high humidity, or dust.
The standard operating temperature range of the P-touch labeler is 50
° F/10 ° C to 95 ° F/
35
°
C.
• DO NOT leave any rubber or vinyl, or products made of rubber or vinyl, on the P-touch
labeler for an extended period of time, otherwise the P-touch labeler may become
marked.
• Depending on the environmental conditions and the applied settings, some characters or
symbols may be difficult to read.
• Use only Brother TZe tapes with P-touch labeler. Do not use tapes that do not have the
mark.
• DO NOT pull or apply pressure to the tape in the cassette. Otherwise the tape cassette
or P-touch labeler may be damaged.
• DO NOT try to print labels using an empty tape cassette or without a tape cassette in the
P-touch labeler. Doing so will damage the print head.
