The purpose of the International ENERGY STAR

®

Program is

to promote the development and popularization of

energy-efficient office equipment. As an ENERGY STAR

®

Partner, Brother Industries, Ltd. has determined that this

product meets the ENERGY STAR

®

guidelines for energy

efficiency.

Carefully observe the following precautions for the rechargeable Li-ion battery

(hereafter referred to as "rechargeable battery"), If these precautions are not followed,

overheating, leaking, or cracks in the battery may result in an electrical short,

explosion, smoke, fire, electric shock, injury to yourself or others, or damage to the

product or other property.

• Use the rechargeable battery only for its intended purpose. The P-touch labeler and

rechargeable battery are designed to function exclusively with each other. Do not insert

a different rechargeable battery into the P-touch labeler or insert the rechargeable

battery into a different P-touch labeler, otherwise fire or damage may result.

• To charge the rechargeable battery, insert the rechargeable battery into the

P-touch labeler, and then use the AC adapter designed specifically for this

P-touch labeler.

• DO NOT charge the rechargeable battery near a fire or in direct sunlight. This could

activate the protection circuitry, which is designed to prevent danger from high heat.

Activation of the protection circuitry could cause charging to stop, charging to occur

with excessive current or voltage if the protection circuitry fails, or an abnormal

chemical reaction within the battery.

• When charging the rechargeable battery, use only a battery charger designed

specifically for the rechargeable battery.

• DO NOT allow wires or other metal objects to come into contact with the terminals

of the rechargeable battery. Do not carry or store the rechargeable battery with

metal objects such as necklaces or hairpins. This could cause an electrical short,

and cause metal objects to overheat.

• DO NOT use or leave the rechargeable battery near fire, heaters, or other high

temperature (above 176°F/80°C) locations.

• DO NOT allow the rechargeable battery to come into contact with or to be immersed

in water.

• DO NOT use the rechargeable battery in corrosive environments, such as areas

where salty air, salt water, acids, alkalis, corrosive gases, chemicals, or any

corrosive liquid are present.

• DO NOT use the rechargeable battery if it is damaged or leaking.

• DO NOT directly solder any connections to the rechargeable battery. This could

cause internal insulation to melt, gas to be emitted, or safety mechanisms to fail.

• DO NOT use the rechargeable battery with the polarity (+) (-) reversed. Check the

orientation of the rechargeable battery before inserting it, and do not try to force the

rechargeable battery into the P-touch labeler. Charging the rechargeable battery

with the polarity reversed could cause an abnormal chemical reaction within the

rechargeable battery or abnormal current flow during discharge.

• DO NOT directly connect the rechargeable battery to a household electrical supply.

• Liquid (electrolyte) leaking from the P-touch labeler or rechargeable battery may

indicate that the rechargeable battery is damaged. If the rechargeable battery leaks,

immediately stop using the P-touch labeler, unplug the AC adapter, and isolate the

P-touch labeler by putting it in a bag.

Do not touch the electrolyte. If electrolyte gets in the eyes, do not rub the eyes.

Immediately rinse liberally with tap water or other clean water and seek the advice

of a medical professional. If left alone, the electrolyte could cause eye damage. If

electrolyte contacts your skin or clothing, immediately rinse them with water.

• DO NOT put the rechargeable battery, or a P-touch labeler with the rechargeable

battery installed, into a microwave oven or a high pressure container.

• DO NOT leave the rechargeable battery without power in the main unit for a long period

of time. This could shorten the life of the rechargeable battery or lead to an electrical short.

• If the P-touch labeler can only be used for a short period of time, even though the

rechargeable battery is fully charged, the rechargeable battery may have reached

the end of its service life. Replace the rechargeable battery with a new one. When

removing and replacing the rechargeable battery, cover the terminals of the old

rechargeable battery with tape to avoid creating a short in the battery.

• DO NOT disassemble, modify, or attempt to repair the rechargeable battery.

• DO NOT dispose of the rechargeable battery in fire or cause it to overheat. This

could cause the internal insulation to melt, gas to be emitted, or safety mechanisms

to fail. Additionally, the electrolyte solution could catch fire.

• DO NOT puncture the rechargeable battery with any objects, subject it to severe

shocks or throw it. Damage to the rechargeable battery's protection circuit could

cause the rechargeable battery to be recharged at an abnormal current/voltage or

cause an abnormal chemical reaction within the rechargeable battery.

• DO NOT incinerate the rechargeable battery or dispose of it with household waste.

Tips on Using the Rechargeable Li-ion Battery

• Charge the rechargeable Li-ion battery before use. Do not use it before it is charged.

• The rechargeable Li-ion battery charging can take place in 41°F-95°F (5°C-35°C)

environments. Charge the rechargeable Li-ion battery in an environment in this

temperature range. If the surrounding temperature is out of this range, the

rechargeable Li-ion battery will not be charged, and the battery indicator will remain lit.

• If the P-touch labeler is used when both the rechargeable Li-ion battery is installed

and the AC adapter is connected, the battery indicator may turn off and charging

may stop even if the rechargeable Li-ion battery has not been fully charged.

Rechargeable Li-ion Battery Characteristics

Understanding the properties of the rechargeable Li-ion battery will allow you to

optimize its usage.

• Using or storing the rechargeable Li-ion battery in a location exposed to high or low

temperatures may accelerate its deterioration. In particular, using a rechargeable

Li-ion battery with a high charge (charged 90% or more) in a location exposed to

high temperatures will considerably accelerate battery deterioration.

• Using the P-touch labeler while the rechargeable Li-ion battery is installed and

charging may accelerate the battery’s deterioration. If using the P-touch labeler

when the rechargeable Li-ion battery is installed, disconnect the AC adapter.

• If the P-touch labeler will not be used for longer than one month, remove the

rechargeable Li-ion battery from the P-touch labeler, and then store the battery in a

cool place away from direct sunlight.

• If the rechargeable Li-ion battery will not be used for a long period of time, we

recommend charging it every 6 months.

• If you touch a part of the device while a Li-ion battery is charging, the device may

feel warm. This is normal, and the device may be used safely. If the P-touch labeler

becomes extremely hot, discontinue use.
