3.1.1 Precautions for Disassembling the Printer

See the precautions below when disassembling the printer.
WARNING
❏Disconnect the power cable before disassembling or assembling the printer.
❏Wear protective goggles to protect your eyes from ink. If ink gets in your eye, flush the
eye with fresh water and see a doctor immediately.
❏If ink comes into contact with your skin, wash it off with soap andwater. If irritation
occurs, contact a physician.
❏A lithium battery is installed on the C162 MAIN Board of this printer. Be sure to observe
the following instructions when servicing the battery:
1. Keep the battery away from any metal or other batteries so that electrodes of the
opposite polarity do not come in contact with each other.
2. Do not heat the battery or put it near fire.
3. Do not solder on any part of the battery. (Doing so may result in leakage of electrolyte
from the battery, burning, or explosion. The leakage may affect other devices close to
the battery.)
4. Do not charge the battery. (An explosive gas may be generated inside the battery, and
cause burning or explosion.)
5. Do not dismantle the battery. (The gas inside the battery may hurt your throat.
Leakage, burning, or explosion may also result.)
6. Do not install the battery in the wrong direction. (This may cause burning or explosion.)
CAUTION
Danger of explosion if battery is incorrectly replaced. Replace only with the same or
equivalent type recommended by the manufacturer. Dispose of used batteries according to
government’s laws and regulations.
ATTENTION
Risque d’explosion si la pile est remplacée incorrectement. Ne remplacer que par une pile
du même type ou d’un type équivalent recommandé par le fabricant. Elminer les piles
déchargées selon les lois et les règles de sécurité en vigueur.
CAUTION
❏Never remove the ink cartridge from the carriage unless manual instructions specify to
do so.
❏When transporting the printer after installing the ink cartridge, be sure to pack the
printer for transportation without removing the ink cartridge.
❏Use only recommended tools for disassembling, assembling, or adjusting the printer.
❏Apply lubricants and adhesives as specified. (See Chapter 6.)
