Safety Precautions

Follow these guidelines to avoid the risk of smoke or heat generation, explosion, fire, or injury.
DANGER

Rechargeable Li-ion Battery

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, electrical shock, injury to yourself or others, or damage to the product or other property.

  • Use only for its intended purpose.
  • DO NOT attempt to charge the battery using an unsupported charger.
  • DO NOT charge, use, or leave the battery in high-temperature (above 60°C /140°F) locations.
  • DO NOT allow the rechargeable battery to come into contact with or to be immersed in water.
  • Keep away from heat and fire.
  • DO NOT connect the + and - terminals with metal objects such as wire. DO NOT carry or store the battery with metal objects.
  • DO NOT throw, hit or damage the battery in any way.
  • DO NOT solder any connections to the battery.
  • DO NOT disassemble, modify, or attempt to repair the rechargeable battery.
  • Dispose of batteries at an appropriate collection point. Be sure to observe all applicable local regulations.
  • When charging the rechargeable battery, use the battery charger designed specifically for the rechargeable battery.
  • 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 is present.
  • DO NOT use the rechargeable battery if it is damaged or leaking.
  • 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 your printer. 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 your printer or rechargeable battery may indicate that the rechargeable battery is damaged. If the rechargeable battery leaks, immediately stop using your printer and isolate your printer by placing it in a bag.

    DO NOT touch the electrolyte. If electrolyte gets in the eyes, do not rub them and obtain medical attention. Immediately wash out the eyes with water continuously for at least 15 minutes. 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 printer with the rechargeable battery installed, into a microwave oven or a high-pressure container.
  • 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 leave a drained rechargeable battery in your printer for a long period of time. This could shorten the life of the rechargeable battery or lead to an electrical short.
  • If your printer 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.
WARNING

Printer

  • DO NOT use the printer where its use is prohibited, such as on an airplane. This could affect the airplane’s equipment, resulting in an accident.
  • DO NOT use the printer in special environments, such as near medical equipment. Electromagnetic waves may cause the medical equipment to malfunction.
  • DO NOT place the product near chemicals or in a place where chemical spillage could occur. DO NOT allow organic solvents, such as benzene, thinner, polish remover, or deodorizers, to come into contact with the plastic cover or cables. These may cause the plastic cover to warp or dissolve, resulting in an electrical shock or fire. They may also cause the product to malfunction or become discolored.

Printer, AC Adapter (Optional), or Car Adapter (Optional)

  • When foreign objects are inserted into the printer or its connectors and ports, stop using the printer and turn off the power. Then disconnect any cables connected to the printer or remove the battery.
  • DO NOT insert foreign objects into the AC Power Cord's connector, otherwise burns or electrical shock may occur.
  • DO NOT operate or store your printer in the following locations, otherwise a fire, electrical shock, or damage may occur:
    • Near water, such as in a bathroom or near a water heater, or in an environment where the humidity is less than 10% or greater than 90% for operation.
    • In a location where it is exposed to rain or moisture
    • In an extremely dusty location
    • In an environment where the temperature is less than -4°F (-20°C) or greater than 131°F (55°C) for operation, such as near open flames, heaters, or in direct sunlight
    • In a closed car in direct sunlight
    • In a location where condensation may form
  • DO NOT touch the AC Adapter and the product during a thunderstorm.
  • DO NOT touch any connection ports with wet hands, otherwise an electrical shock, equipment damage, smoke generation or fire may occur.
  • DO NOT disassemble or alter the product.
  • DO NOT pour chemicals or use combustible sprays on the product.

    Examples of combustible sprays:

    • Dust-removing cleaners
    • Pesticides
    • Disinfectants and deodorizers that contain alcohol
    • Organic solvents or liquids such as alcohol
  • Use and store the printer, other components, and packing bags out of the reach of children.
  • Remove the battery or disconnect the cord when shipping.
  • If the printer is not in use for long periods, remove the battery and disconnect the cord before storing.
  • DO NOT place heavy objects on the printer or the USB cable.
  • DO NOT forcibly bend or pull the USB cable.

  • Keep away from infants. If ingested, contact emergency services immediately.
  • Stop using the battery if there are noticeable abnormalities such as smell, heat, deformities, or discoloration.

AC Adapter (Optional), Car Adapter (Optional)

  • Use only with the specified product.
  • Insert the plug firmly into the outlet.
  • Use the AC Adapter with an AC 100 V - 240 V 50/60 Hz household outlet and Car Adapter with DC 12 V.
  • DO NOT allow metal objects to come into contact with connectors and ports.
  • DO NOT pull on the cord when disconnecting the AC Adapter cord. Hold the plug and pull it out of the electrical outlet.
  • DO NOT damage, twist, severely bend, pull on, place objects on, or bind the AC Adapter and Car Adapter.
  • DO NOT pinch or pierce the AC Adapter and Car Adapter cords.
  • DO NOT overload electrical outlets.

CAUTION

Printer

  • DO NOT touch the blade or Print Head. Doing so could cause injury.
  • DO NOT hold the printer by the Roll Compartment Cover or the Roll Guide. There is a risk that the cover could detach or the printer could fall.
  • When connecting cables and accessories, follow the applicable instructions.
  • DO NOT touch the Print Head and metal parts surrounding the Print Head.
