Make sure that the batteries are inserted so that their poles point in the correct direction.

With batteries installed, the P-touch determines the remaining battery charge during printing and feeding. If a low battery charge is detected, the low battery indicator ())

comes on. When this occurs, be sure to replace the batteries. The low battery indicator may not come on in some operating conditions.

Before replacing the batteries, make sure that the P-touch is turned off. In addition, when replacing the batteries, insert the new ones within five minutes of removing the old ones, otherwise the text shown in the display and any text stored in the memory will be lost.

If you do not intend to use this P-touch for an extended period of time, remove the batteries. When the power is disconnected, all text shown in the display and stored in the memory will be lost.

Since the enclosed batteries begin discharging from the time that the unit is shipped from the factory, their life span may not meet specifications, depending on when the unit is put into use.
