1. Precaution Segment 1-1 Safety Precautions 1. Make sure that there are no cabinet openings through which people – particularly children – might insert fingers and contact dangerous voltages. Such openings include excessively wide cabinet ventilation slots and improperly fitted covers and drawers. 2.
1-2 Servicing Precaution WARNING 1: First read the Safety Precaution section of this manual. If some unforeseen circumstance creates a conflict between the servicing and safety precautions, always follow the safety precaution. WARNING 2: An electrolytic capacitor installed with the wrong polarity might explode. 1.
1-3 Precaution for Electrostatically Sensitive Devices (ESDs) 1. Some semiconductor (solid state) devices are easily damaged by static electricity. Such components are called electrostatically sensitive devices (ESDs); examples include integrated circuits and some field-effect transistors. The following techniques will reduce the occurrence of component damaged caused by static electricity.
1-5 Battery Safety Warning Please be sure to read this guide prior to use. Warning 1. If the battery is not charged after the charging time, stop charging and contact the seller. 2. Store and use the battery where it will not come into contact with liquid (water, salt water, etc.). There may be a risk of overheating, rupturing or igniting.
Page 8
Recommendations 1. Do not charge for longer than the charging time described in this guide, as it may reduce battery performance and duration. 2. If the battery is not expected to be used for a long time, remove it from the equipment and keep in a place with low humidity.
Reinstall Battery The printer may incur serious damage if the AC/DC adaptor provided by SATO is not used. SATO is not legally liable for any such damages. Caution (The voltage and electrical current specifications of the printer and battery charger must match.)
SATO when using a single battery charger. SATO is not legally liable for any such damages. Caution - You must use the battery charger power supply provided by SATO to use the single battery charger. (AC/DC adaptor is not available) 2-2-3 Using 4CH Battery Charger (Optional)
Page 11
2-2-3-2 Charging Battery 1) Insert the battery into the 4CH Battery Charger as shown in the figure on the left. 2) Gently slide the battery until it reaches the bottom of the charger. 3) Charging starts as soon as the battery is completely inserted.
