Warning

Power supply and voltage

•Use only a power source whose output matches the rating marked on the plate on the bottom of the label printer. Also, avoid plugging too many appliances into the same extension cord. The wrong voltage or overloading of an AC outlet creates the danger of fire and electrical shock.

Serious malfunction

•Continued use of the unit when smoke or a

strange odor is coming from it creates the danger of electrical shock. Immediately turn power off and unplug the power cord from the wall outlet. Request servicing from your original dealer.

AC adaptor

•Do not allow the power cord to become dam- aged or broken, and never modify, over bend, twist, or pull it. Never place heavy objects on the power cord, and never expose it to direct heat. A damaged power cord creates the dan- ger of fire and electrical shock.

•Use only the AC adaptor specified for this unit. Use of another AC adaptor creates the danger of fire and electrical shock.

•Should the power cord become seriously dam- aged (internal wiring is exposed or cut), request servicing from your original dealer. Use of a seriously damaged power cord creates the dan- ger of fire and electrical shock.

•Never touch the AC adaptor when your hands are wet. Doing so creates the danger of electri- cal shock.

Never try to take the unit apart

•Never try to take the unit apart or modify it in any

way. Doing so creates the danger of electrical shock, burn injury, or other personal injury.

Packaging

•Keep the plastic bag that the unit comes in out of the reach of small children. Plastic bags cre- ate the danger of suffocation for small children.

Avoid dropping

•Should the unit ever become damaged by fall-

ing down, immediately turn off power and unplug the power cord from the wall socket. Request servicing from your original dealer. Use of a damaged unit creates the danger of fire and electrical shock.

Batteries

•Never charge batteries, try to take batteries

apart, or allow batteries to become shorted. Never expose batteries to direct heat or dispose of them by incineration.

Caution

AC Adaptor

•Do not leave the power cord near stoves or other sources of intense heat. Doing so can melt power cord insulation and create the danger of fire and electrical shock.

•When unplugging the power cord from the wall socket, grasp the plug. Never pull on the cord itself. Doing so can damage the power cord and create the danger of fire and electrical shock.

•Whenever leaving the unit unattended for long

periods, be sure to unplug it from the wall socket.

•Whenever moving the unit, be sure to unplug it

from the wall socket. Leaving the unit plugged in when it is being moved can result in damage to the power cord and create the danger of fire and electrical shock.

•Whenever cleaning the unit, be sure to unplug

it from the wall socket.

•When you are through using the unit, use its

power switch to turn it off and then unplug it from the wall socket.

Avoid unstable areas

•Never place the unit on a wobbly table or a high shelf. Doing so can cause it to fall, resulting in personal injury.

Water and other foreign matter

•Never allow coffee, juice, or other drinks, or flower vases to spill on the unit. Liquid spilled on the unit creates the danger of fire and electrical shock. Should liquid ever spill onto the unit, im- mediately turn off power and unplug the power cord from the wall socket. Request servicing from your original dealer.

Location

•Avoid leaving the unit in areas subjected to high humidity and large amounts of dust. Such con- ditions create the danger of fire and electrical shock.
