Safety Precautions

Rechargeable Li-ion Battery

Liquid (electrolyte) leaking from the
P-touch labeling system or

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

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

by placing it in a bag.
Do not touch the electrolyte. If
electrolyte gets in the eyes, do not rub

them. 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 labeling system with the

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

DO NOT leave a drained rechargeable
battery in the P-touch labeling system
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 labeling system 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 intentionally 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.
