INTRODUCTION
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,
electric 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 and
rechargeable battery are designed to
function exclusively with each other. DO
NOT insert the rechargeable battery into
a different P-touch, or a different
rechargeable battery into your P-touch,
otherwise fire or damage may result.
To charge the rechargeable battery,
insert it into the P-touch, and then use
the AC adapter designed specifically for
this P-touch.
DO NOT charge the rechargeable
battery near a fire or in direct sunlight.
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 a battery charger
designed specifically for the
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
necklaces or hairpins. This could cause
an electrical short, and lead metal
objects such as wires, necklaces, or
hairpins to overheat.

Safety Precautions
DANGER
DO NOT use or leave the rechargeable
battery near fire, heaters, or other high
temperature (above 80 °C) locations.
DO NOT allow the rechargeable battery
to come into contact with or to be
immersed in water.
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 are present.
DO NOT use the rechargeable battery if
it is damaged 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. Check
the orientation of the rechargeable
battery before inserting it, and do not try
to force the rechargeable battery into
the P-touch. 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.
