CAUTION
Safety Precautions
• Always use the specified voltage and the recommended AC Adapter (AD-24ES/AD24ESA/AD-24ESAW/AD-24ESA-01/AD-24ESAW-01) for the label maker to prevent
any damage or failure.
• Do not touch the label maker during a lightning storm.
• Do not use the label maker / AC Adapter in places of high humidity (such as
bathrooms).
• Do not overload the power cord.
• Do not place heavy objects on, or damage the power cord or plug. Do not forcibly
bend or pull the power cord. Always hold the AC Adapter carefully when
disconnecting from the power outlet.
• Make sure that the plug is fully inserted in the power outlet. Do not use an outlet that
is loose.
• Do not allow the label maker / AC Adapter / power plug / batteries to get wet, for
example, by handling them with wet hands or spilling beverages on to them.
• Since loss of eyesight may result when leaked fluid from batteries gets into your eyes,
immediately rinse your eyes with a large amount of clean water, and then seek
medical attention.
• Do not disassemble or modify the label maker / AC Adapter / batteries.
• Do not allow a metal object to contact both the plus and minus ends of a battery.
• Do not use sharp objects, such as tweezers or a metallic pen, to change the batteries.
• Do not throw the batteries into fire or expose to heat.
• Disconnect the AC Adapter, remove batteries immediately and stop using the label
maker if you notice abnormal odor, heat, discoloration, deformation or anything
unusual while using or storing it.
• Do not use a damaged or leaking battery as the fluid may get on your hands.
• Do not use a deformed or leaking battery or one whose label is damaged. There is a
possibility of generating heat.
Follow these guidelines to avoid personal injury, liquid
leakage, burns or heat.
• When the label maker is not being used, store it out of the reach of children. In
addition, do not allow children to put the label maker parts or labels in their mouths.
If any object has been swallowed, seek medical attention.
• Do not touch metal parts around the print head immediately after printing.
• Do not touch the cutter blade.
• If leaked fluid from batteries gets on your skin or clothes, immediately rinse them with
clean water.
• Remove the batteries and disconnect the AC Adapter if you do not intend to use the
label maker.
• Do not use a battery other than that specified. Do not use combinations of old and
new batteries or combinations of different types, different charging levels, different
manufacturers or different models. Do not insert a battery with its plus and minus
ends reversed.
• Do not drop or hit the label maker / AC Adapter.
• Do not press on the LCD display.
• Do not put your finger inside the label maker when you close the cassette cover.
• Before using Ni-MH rechargeable batteries, carefully read the instructions for the
batteries and battery charger, and be sure to use them correctly.
• When using Ni-MH rechargeable batteries, charge the batteries with a specialized
battery charger before using the batteries.
• Use a soft wipe to clean the print head; never touch the print head.
• Do not put any foreign objects into the tape exit slot or battery compartment, etc.
• Do not place the label maker / batteries / AC Adapter in direct sunlight or rain, near
heaters or other hot appliances, in any location exposed to extremely high or low
temperatures (e.g., on the dashboard or in the back of your car) or high humidity, or
in dusty locations.
• Do not apply excessive pressure to the cutter lever.
• Do not try to print if the cassette is empty; it will damage the print head.
• Do not pull the tape while printing or feeding; it will damage the tape and the label
maker.
• Any data stored in memory will be lost due to failure or repair of the label maker, or if
the battery expires.
• The label maker is not equipped with a charging feature for rechargeable batteries.
• The length of the printed label may differ from the displayed label length.
• A protective clear plastic sticker is placed over the display during manufacturing and
shipping. This sticker should be removed prior to use.
• When power is disconnected for more than three minutes, all text, format settings and
any text files stored in the memory will be cleared.
