Safety Precautions
Rechargeable Li-ion Battery
Liquid (electrolyte) leaking from the
P-touch labeler or rechargeable battery
may indicate that the rechargeable
battery is damaged. If the rechargeable
battery leaks, immediately stop using
the P-touch labeler, unplug the AC
adapter, and isolate the P-touch labeler
by putting it in a bag.
Do not touch the electrolyte. If
electrolyte gets in the eyes, do not rub
the eyes. Immediately rinse liberally
with tap water or other clean water and
seek the advice of a medical
professional. If left alone, the electrolyte
could cause eye damage. If electrolyte
contacts your skin or clothing,
immediately rinse them with water.
DO NOT put the rechargeable battery, or
a P-touch labeler with the rechargeable
battery installed, into a microwave oven
or a high pressure container.
DO NOT leave the rechargeable
battery without power in the main unit
for a long period of time. This could
shorten the life of the rechargeable
battery or lead to an electrical short.
If the P-touch labeler can only be used
for a short period of time, even though
the rechargeable battery is fully
charged, the rechargeable battery
may have reached the end of its
service life. Replace the rechargeable
battery with a new one. When
removing and replacing the
rechargeable battery, cover the
terminals of the old rechargeable
battery with tape to avoid creating a
short in the battery.
DO NOT disassemble, modify, or
attempt to repair the rechargeable
battery.
DO NOT dispose of the rechargeable
battery in fire or intentionally overheat.
This could cause the internal
insulation to melt, gas to be emitted,
or safety mechanisms to fail.
Additionally, the electrolyte solution
could catch fire.
DO NOT puncture the rechargeable
battery with any objects, subject it to
severe shocks or throw it. Damage to
the rechargeable battery's protection
circuit could cause the rechargeable
battery to be recharged at an
abnormal current/voltage or cause an
abnormal chemical reaction within the
rechargeable battery.
DO NOT incinerate the rechargeable
battery or dispose of it with household
waste.
