The BL-1000 LINK may only be opened by Help Tech GmbH or an authorised dealer. In the
other case the warranty claim expires.
Please use only the AC adapter supplied with the BL-1000 LINK to operate from power

7.2 Handling the BL-1000 LINK
Please use only the Braille tape designed for the BL-1000 LINK. Other commercially
available tapes may damage the BL-1000 LINK by getting stuck. It is also possible that the
quality of the Braille print is insufficient.
Please always close the covers of the BL-1000 LINK before use to prevent the sensitive
parts from coming into contact with dust. For the same reason, cover the BL-1000 LINK
when not in use.
Make sure that you have put on the two covers - for the print unit and the Braille tape - when
printing.
