Important safety instructions

Rechargeable Li-ion Battery (Optional)
Carefully observe the following precautions for handling, use, and disposal of 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 the rechargeable battery only for its intended purpose. The P-touch labeling system and
rechargeable battery are designed to be used together exclusively. DO NOT insert the
rechargeable battery into a different P-touch labeling system, or a different rechargeable battery
into your P-touch labeling system, otherwise a fire or other damage may occur.
To charge the rechargeable battery, insert it into the P-touch labeling system, and then use the

AC adapter designed specifically for this P-touch labeling system.
 DO NOT charge the rechargeable battery near a fire, flame, in direct sunlight, or near any other
heat source. This could activate the protection circuitry, which is designed to prevent danger
from high heat. Activation of the protection circuitry could cause charging to stop, charging to
occur with excessive current/voltage if the protection circuitry fails, or an abnormal chemical
reaction within the battery.
 When charging the rechargeable battery, use only the battery charger designed specifically for
your rechargeable battery.
 DO NOT allow wires or other metal objects to come into contact with the terminals of the
rechargeable battery. DO NOT carry or store the rechargeable battery with metal objects, such
as wires, necklaces, or hairpins. This could cause an electrical short, and metal objects such as
wires, necklaces, or hairpins to overheat, risking fire or other damage.
 DO NOT use or leave the rechargeable battery near fire, heaters, or other high-temperature
(above 176F/80C) locations.
 DO NOT allow the rechargeable battery to come into contact with or to be immersed in water.
 DO NOT use or leave 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, deformed, or leaking.
 DO NOT directly solder any connections to the rechargeable battery. This could cause internal
insulation to melt, gas to be emitted, or safety mechanisms to fail.
 DO NOT use the rechargeable battery with the polarity (+) (-) reversed. Always check the
polarity (+) (-) of the rechargeable battery before inserting it, and do not try to force the
rechargeable battery into the P-touch labeling system. 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 other than
with the AC adapter specifically designed for your P-touch labeling system.
