• Turn the P-touch labeling system off before disconnecting the AC adapter.
• Do not pull or bend the AC adapter cord.
• When power is disconnected for more than two minutes, all text and format settings will be
cleared. Any text files stored in the memory will also be cleared.
• Downloaded symbols, templates and databases will be saved, even with no power available.
To safeguard and backup the P-touch labeling system's memory, when the AC adapter is
unplugged it is recommended to have rechargeable Li-ion batteries (BA-E001), AA-size alkaline
batteries (LR6) or Ni-MH rechargeable batteries (HR6) installed in the P-touch labeling system.
