* Use only Brother TZ tapes with this machine. Do not use tapes that do not have the
mark.
* Do not pull on the tape being fed from the P-touch. Doing so may damage the tape
cassette.
* Avoid using the machine in extremely dusty place. Keep in out of both direct sunlight and
rain.
* When printing a label, a horizontal line appears on your label, this may be an indication
that dust is on the print head. To clean the print head, gently rub a cotton swab over the
print head to remove dust. (See page 19.)
* Be sure tape is properly fed through tape guidelines before installing a tape into the ma-
chine. (See page 15.)
* Do not expose the machine to high temperatures or high humidity. Never leave it on the
dashboard or in the back of your car.
* Do not leave any rubber or vinyl on the machine foe an extended period of time. Doing so
may cause staining.
* Do not put any foreign objects onto or into the machine.
* To avoid injuries, do not touch the cutter’s edge.
* When inserting new batteries, be sure to do so within five minutes of removing the old
ones, otherwise all text files will be lost (unless the machine is plugged into an AC outlet
with the AC adapter).
* Use only the AC adapter (model AD-60) designed exclusively for this machine. Use of any
other adapter will void the warranty.
* When the machine is not being used for a long period of time and it is not necessary to
keep the text files stored in the memory, disconnect the AC adapter, and remove the
batteries to prevent them from leaking and damaging the machine.
* If the adapter is removed from the AC outlet before unplugging in from the machine, the
text files in the memory will not be deleted if the batteries are correctly installed.
* Use only AA alkaline batteries in this machine.
