General Precautions
Rechargeable Li-ion battery
At the time of purchase, the rechargeable Li-ion battery is slightly charged so that the
operation of the P-touch labeling system can be verified; however, the rechargeable Li-ion
battery should be fully charged with the AC adapter before the P-touch labeling system is
used.
If the P-touch labeling system will not be used for a long period of time, remove the
rechargeable Li-ion battery from the P-touch labeling system, and then store it in a location
where it is not exposed to static electricity, high humidity, or high temperatures
(temperatures between 15°C and 25°C 40% to 60% humidity are recommended). In order
to maintain the efficiency and life of the Li-ion rechargeable battery, charge it at least every
six months.
If you notice anything unusual about the rechargeable Li-ion battery the first time it is used,
for example overheating or rust, DO NOT continue to use the battery. Contact Brother
customer service.
P-touch Labeling System
DO NOT install the P-touch labeling system near any device that will cause
electromagnetic interference. The P-touch labeling system may malfunction if left near a
television or radio etc.
DO NOT use the P-touch labeling system in any way or for any purpose not described in
this guide. Doing so may result in injury or damage to the P-touch labeling system.
DO NOT put any foreign objects into the tape exit slot, AC adapter connector, or any other
part of the P-touch labeling system.
DO NOT touch the print head (see page 9) with your fingers. Use the optional print head
cleaning cassette (TZe-CL4) or a soft wipe (e.g.a cotton swab) when cleaning the print
head (see the User’s Guide).
DO NOT clean any part of the P-touch labeling system with alcohol or other organic
solvents. Only use a soft, dry cloth.
DO NOT place the P-touch labeling system in direct sunlight, near heaters or other hot
appliances, or in any location exposed to extremely high or low temperatures, high
humidity, or dust. The standard operating temperature range of the P-touch labeling
system is 10°C to 35°C.
DO NOT leave any rubber or vinyl, or products made of rubber or vinyl, on the P-touch
labeling system for an extended period of time, otherwise the P-touch labeling system may
become marked.
Depending on the environmental conditions and the applied settings, some characters or
symbols may be difficult to read.
Use only Brother TZe, HGe tapes or HSe tubes with the P-touch labeling system. Do not
use tapes that do not have the / / mark.
DO NOT pull or apply pressure to the tape in the cassette to avoid damaging the P-touch
labeling system.
DO NOT try to print labels using an empty tape cassette or without a tape cassette in the
P-touch labeling system. Doing so will damage the print head.
DO NOT attempt to cut the tape while printing or feeding since this will damage the tape.
Depending on the location, material, and environmental conditions, the label may unpeel
or become irremovable, and the color of the label may change or be transferred to other
objects.
