4.1.1 Precautions
Before starting the disassembly or reassembly of the product, read the following
precautions given under the headings “WARNING” and “CAUTION”.
W A R N I N G
 When the Front Cover is opened, a safety-interlock mechanism
causes the CR MOTOR and the PF motor to stop. Never
disable the interlock function for operator protection.
 This printer is equipped with a lithium battery. When handling
the lithium battery, the following precautions should be
followed.
• When replacing the battery, replace only with a specified
type of battery. Using a different type of battery may cause
excess heat or explosion.
• Dispose of used batteries according to manufacture’s
instructions and local regulations. Contact your local
government agency for information about battery disposal
and recycling.
• When disposing of the battery, be sure to securely cover its
(+) end with tape to prevent combustion or explosion.
• Do not recharge the battery.
• Do not use the battery if it is discolored or damaged, or if any
leakage of electrolyte is observed.
• Do not dismantle, solder or heat the battery. Doing so could
result in leakage of electrolyte, heat generation, or explosion.
• Do not heat the battery or dispose of it in fire.
• If the electrolyte leaked from the battery gets in contact with
your skin or gets into your eyes, rinse it off with clean water
and see a doctor immediately.
 The power switch is installed on the secondary side of the
power circuit, so power is always supplied unless the power
cord is unplugged. Unless otherwise stated, be sure to unplug
the power cord and wait at least for one minute and 30 seconds
before disassembling or assembling the printer to prevent
electric shock and damage to the circuit.
