Safety Precautions
Safety Precautions on Batteries
The lithium-ion battery pack (hereafter called the battery) has a certain life expectancy depending on the
usage. Please change the battery when its operating time has become much shorter than usual.
As the battery life wears out, problems such as smeared prints or reduced output performance may occur.
Make sure to change the battery regularly.
Always observe the following safety precautions for battery use.
Mishandling the battery may cause electric shock, battery leakage, overheating, smoke, rupture, or fire.
The life expectancy of the lithium ion battery pack ("battery") varies depending on usage. We recommend
that you replace the battery after 300 charge cycles or 3 years from the date of first use, whichever is
earlier.
If you notice any dents or cracks on your battery crust caused by strong impacts or shocks, stop using
the battery immediately and replace it with a new one. Continued use under these conditions may lead to
abnormal overheating or fire.
Do not disassemble or modify the battery.
When charging the battery as fitted in the product, use an AC adapter specified by SATO Corporation.
Do not place the battery in fire, or apply heat to the battery.
Do not place the battery near fires, stoves, or other high-temperature locations (above 60°C (140 °F)) such
as inside closed cars in hot weather.
Do not charge or discharge the battery near flammable materials.
Do not connect the positive (+) and negative (-) terminal of the battery with any conductive materials such
as metal wires. Do not carry or store the battery together with necklaces, hairpins, or other metal objects to
prevent accidental short-circuiting of the battery.
When connecting the battery to an AC outlet, a car cigarette lighter outlet or the like, always use the
dedicated charger.
Do not wet or immerse the battery in water, seawater, or other liquids.
Do not throw or drop the battery, subjecting it to strong impacts or shocks.
Do not pierce the battery with sharp objects such as nails, strike the battery with a hammer, or step on the
battery.
