BATTERIES

This portable machine can be used anywhere by installing eight (8) AA alkaline batteries. When you change the batteries, always replace all eight at the same time.

To change the batteries:

1Remove the battery compartment cover on the back of the machine.

2 If batteries are already installed, remove them.

3Insert eight new AA alkaline batteries, making sure that their poles point in the correct direction.

4Attach the battery compartment cover.

☞Be sure to insert the new batteries within five minutes of removing the old ones, otherwise the text shown in the display and any text files stored in the memory will be lost (unless the machine is plugged into an AC outlet with the AC adapter).

Remove the batteries and disconnect the AC adapter if you do not intend to use this machine for an extended period of time. When the power is disconnected, all text shown in the display and stored in the memory will be lost.

If the batteries are not installed with their positive and negative poles pointing in the correct direction, the batteries may leak, overheat or explode, or the print head may overheat.
