Charging the Rechargeable Li-ion Battery
NOTE
•
Before use, fully charge the battery.
•
Up to three hours may be needed to fully charge the battery.
1.
Make sure the battery is installed in the P-touch labeling system.
2.
Use the AC adapter and power supply cord to connect the P-touch
labeling system to an AC power outlet.
Press the
(Power) button to turn on the P-touch labeling system if it

NOTE
Although the charging stops if the P-touch labeling system is used to
print, feed, or perform another operation, the charging will start again
automatically after the operation is finished if the charging is not
completed.
Stopping Rechargeable Li-ion Battery Charging
To stop the battery charging, disconnect the AC adapter.
Notes on Using the Rechargeable Li-ion Battery
Before use, fully charge the battery. Do not use it before it is fully
charged.
The battery charging must take place in environments between 32°F
and 104°F (0°C and 40°C), otherwise the battery will not charge, and the
(Battery) indicator will remain lit. If the charging stops because the
environment temperature is too low or too high, place the P-touch
labeling system with a temperature between 32°F and 104°F (0°C and
40°C) and try charging again.
If the P-touch labeling system is used to print, feed, or perform another
operation when both the battery is installed and the AC adapter is
connected, the
(Battery) indicator may turn off and charging may
stop even if the battery is not fully charged.
Rechargeable Li-ion Battery Characteristics
To ensure the highest performance and longest life from the battery:
Do not use or store the battery in a location exposed to extreme high or
low temperatures as it may discharge more quickly. This may happen
when using a rechargeable Li-ion battery with a high charge (90%
charged or more) in a location exposed to high temperatures.
Remove the battery when storing the P-touch labeling system for long
periods of time.
Store a battery with less than a 50% charge in a cool dry place out of
direct sunlight.
Recharge the battery every six months if it is stored for long periods of
time.
If you touch a part of the P-touch labeling system while the Li-ion battery
is charging, that part of the P-touch labeling system may feel warm. This
is normal, and the P-touch labeling system may be used safely.
However, if the P-touch labeling system becomes extremely hot,
discontinue use.

Inserting a Tape Cassette
The TZe tape, FLe label, HGe tape and HSe tube cassettes can be used in
your P-touch labeling system.
IMPORTANT
If the new tape cassette has a cardboard stopper,
be sure to remove the stopper before inserting the
cassette.
1.
Check that the end of the tape is not bent and that it passes through the
tape guides. If it does not, pass it through the tape guides as shown in
the illustration.

IMPORTANT
•
When inserting the tape cassette, make sure that the tape and ink
ribbon do not catch on the print head.
•
Make sure that there is no slack in
the tape. Otherwise the tape may
catch on the protrusion (2) and
become bent or wrinkled, causing
the tape to jam.
To fix the slack in the tape, refer to
the illustration in step 1 and pull
the tape outside of the tape guide.
•
When removing the tape cassette,
make sure that the tape does not catch on the protrusion (2).
4.
Close the top cover.
IMPORTANT
Store tape cassettes in a cool dark location, away from direct sunlight
and high temperature, high humidity, or dusty locations. After opening
the sealed package, use the tape cassette as quickly as possible.
