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 labeler can be verified; however, the rechargeable Li-ion battery should
be fully charged with the AC adapter before the labeler is used.
• If the labeler will not be used for a long period of time, remove the rechargeable Li-ion
battery from the 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 printer was purchased.

part of the printer.

soft, dry cloth.
