General Precautions - Brother P-touch H300 User Manual

INTRODUCTION
Rechargeable Li-ion battery
• At the time of purchase, the rechargeable Li-ion battery is slightly charged so that the
operation of the printer can be verified; however, the rechargeable Li-ion battery should
be fully charged with the AC adapter before the printer is used.
• If the printer will not be used for a long period of time, remove the rechargeable Li-ion
battery from the printer, and then store it in a location where it is not exposed to static
electricity, high humidity, or high temperatures (temperatures between 15°C/59°F and
25°C/77°F and 40 to 60% humidity are recommended). In order to maintain the efficiency
and life of the Li-ion rechargeable battery, charge it at least every six months.
• If you notice anything unusual about the rechargeable Li-ion battery the first time it is used,
for example overheating or rust, DO NOT continue to use the battery. Contact the retail
outlet where the printer was purchased.
Printer
• DO NOT install this machine near any device that will cause electromagnetic interference.
This machine may malfunction if left near a television or radio etc.
• DO NOT use the P-touch in any way or for any purpose not described in this guide. Doing
so may result in injury or damage to the machine.
• DO NOT put any foreign objects into the tape exit slot, AC adapter connector, or any other
part of the printer.
• DO NOT touch the print head (see page 6) with your fingers. Use the optional print head
cleaning cassette (TZe-CL4), the self-cleaning function of the printer, or a soft wipe (e.g.
a cotton swab) when cleaning the print head (refer to "Cleaning the Unit" on page 57.).
• DO NOT clean any part of the machine with alcohol or other organic solvents. Only use a
soft, dry cloth.
• DO NOT place the P-touch in direct sunlight, near heaters or other hot appliances, or in
any location exposed to extremely high or low temperatures, high humidity, or dust. The
standard operating temperature range of the P-touch is 10 to 35°C (50 to 95°F).
• DO NOT leave any rubber or vinyl, or products made of rubber or vinyl, on the printer for
an extended period of time, otherwise the printer may become stained.
• Depending on the environmental conditions and the applied settings, some characters or
symbols may be difficult to read.
• Use Brother TZe tapes with this machine.
• DO NOT pull or apply pressure to the tape in the cassette to avoid damaging the printer.
• DO NOT try to print labels using an empty tape cassette or without a tape cassette in the
P-touch. Doing so will damage the print head.
• DO NOT attempt to cut the tape while printing or feeding since this will damage the tape.
• Depending on the location, material, and environmental conditions, the label may unpeel
or become irremovable, and the colour of the label may change or be transferred to other
objects.
• DO NOT expose the tape cassettes to direct sunlight, high temperatures, high humidity,
or dust. Store tape cassettes in a cool, dark place. Use the tape cassettes soon after
opening the tape cassette package.
