Notes on Using the Rechargeable Li-ion Battery
Before use, fully charge the battery. Do not use it before it is fully
charged.
The battery charging must take place in environments between 0°C and
40°C, otherwise the battery will not charge, and the (Battery)
indicator will remain lit. If the charging stops because the environment
temperature is too low or too high, place the P-touch with a temperature
between 0°C and 40°C and try charging again.
If the P-touch is used to print, feed, or perform another operation when
both the battery is installed and the AC adapter is connected, the
(Battery) indicator may turn off and charging may stop even if the
battery is not fully charged.
Rechargeable Li-ion Battery Characteristics
To ensure the highest performance and longest life from the battery:
Do not use or store the battery in a location exposed to extreme high or
low temperatures as it may discharge more quickly. This may happen
when using a rechargeable Li-ion battery with a high charge (90%
charged or more) in a location exposed to high temperatures.
Remove the battery when storing the P-touch for long periods of time.
Store a battery with less than a 50% charge in a cool dry place out of
direct sunlight.
Recharge the battery every six months if it is stored for long periods of
time.
If you touch a part of the P-touch while the Li-ion battery is charging, that
part of the P-touch may feel warm. This is normal, and the P-touch may
be used safely. However, if the P-touch becomes extremely hot,
discontinue use.
Inserting a Tube
• Do not use tube which is dirty, bent, flattened, has a rough surface or
uneven tube thickness, or is defective in any other way.
• When using the P-touch, position it so direct sunlight does not enter
the P-touch through the tube exit slot.
• You can use the tube half-cut adjuster to adjust the depth of half cuts
to one of three settings.
• If the tube is jammed or not cut completely, use the (Feed and
Cut) button to manually cut the tube completely. Press and hold the
button for 2 to 10 seconds until the (Power) indicator changes from
being lit in green to flashing in green, and then release it. The tube
will be cut when the button is released.
