PRECAUTIONS
1. Safety Precautions
1) Be sure to use the specified battery and power supply provided by our company.
2) Connection to an improper power supply may cause fire, explosion or damage to
the printer.
3) Don’t put the battery into the fire or water, don’t disassemble or modify the
battery, don’t be short circuit, otherwise may result in injury or fire even
explosion.
4) If the printer would not be used for a long time, be sure to take off the battery,
otherwise the battery may leak liquid which is corrosive, if improper operation
causes battery leak, and the liquid is spattered on the skin or clothes, please wash
it with water, if spattered in the eyes, please rinse them with water thoroughly
and see a doctor.
5) Please do not open the paper case cover when it is printing or just when printing
is over, do not touch the print head with hand or body, overheat may cause scald.
2. Operation Precautions
1) Water or other liquid should not spill into the printer, also the printer should not
be appeared in the rain, or else may cause printer damage.
2) Please do not open the paper case cover when it is printing, otherwise the printer
may work improperly.
3) If print with serial interface, should not unplug the interface cable in the course of
printing, or else some printing data may be lost.
4) When print with Bluetooth interface, the communication distance should be
within 10 meters, otherwise the printer doesn’t print or prints rubbish codes.
5) Too high（50℃）or too low（-5℃） temperature and too high (80％)or too
low (25％)relative humidity both effect the print quality.
6) The print paper in poor quality or stored for too long time also may reduce the
print quality even damage the printer.
3. Storage Precautions
1) The printer should be placed in such an environment that the temperature is
between-40℃and 60℃, and the relative humidity is ≤93%（40℃）.
2) If the printer will be stored for a long time, please be sure to take out the battery,
otherwise may damage the battery and printer.
3) Normal thermal paper can’t be kept too long, if you need to keep the receipt for a
long period, please choose long term effective thermal paper.

4) The print paper should be keep away from high temperature environment and
point-blank sunshine.
4. Battery Safety Precautions
1) Be sure to carefully read the user manual before using the product.
2) Ignore the following instructions may cause battery overheating, fire, explosion,
damage and/or performance, and reduced product life.
3) Do not allow water, sea water from entering or leaking into the battery inside. If
the batteries internal safety device burn, when charging it, it may produce any
abnormal current and/or voltage, and cause any abnormal chemical reaction,
then may cause the battery overheating, fire and/or explosion.
4) Do not use or place the battery nearby the stove or other high temperature
places. Excessive heat maybe damage the resin shell and/or the insulation
materials, thereby cause short-circuit inside the battery, then the battery
may be caused overheating, burning and / or explosion.
5) When charging, use a specified charger. Other conditions (high temperature, high
pressure/high current, using the modified battery charger, etc.) excluded here
may result in over-charging the battery and abnormal current and/or voltage,
cause abnormal chemical reaction, and may cause the battery overheat, light
and/or explosion.
6) Do not make the battery contact with the power outlet and/or car cigarette
lighter socket. This may cause high pressure and excessive current, and lead to
the battery overheat, burning and/or explosion.
7) Do not heat the battery or put the battery into fire. This may melt insulation
material and/or damage safety devices or safety equipment, then ignite
electrolytic solution, and cause the battery overheat, burning and/or explosion.
8) Do not use the battery with contrary(+) and(-) location. In the charging process,
this will cause the reverse charging and may cause abnormal chemical reaction.
During use, may appear unpredictable current exception, and cause the battery
overheat, ignite, and/or explosion.
9) Battery clearly marks with positive and negative. When connect the battery with
the charger and/or printer, be sure to verify the correct battery orientation.
Reverse insertion will cause the reverse charging and may cause abnormal
chemical reaction, and then may cause the battery overheat, ignite, and/or
explosion.
10) Do not make the battery(+)and(-)contact with any metal. Also, do not carry along
or store batteries with metal objects, such as necklaces, hair clips and so on.
Battery internal short circuit may cause excessive current, and lead to the battery
overheat, ignite, and/or explosion and the adjacent metal objects (necklaces,

hairpins, etc.) may be overheating.
11) Do not throw or heavy attack the battery. If internal safety device of the batteries
burn, the battery charging may cause any abnormal current and/or voltage, and
abnormal chemical reaction, and lead to the battery overheat, ignite, and/or
explosion.
