Safety Precautions

Warning

Liquid

Do not place any container with water or chemicals,

such as flower vase or cup, as well as small metallic

objects, near the printer. If any of these should fall

into the printer, immediately turn off the power and

contact your nearest dealer or service center.

Continued use creates a damage of fire or electric

shock.

Foreign Matter

Do not drop or insert metallic or flammable objects

into the openings on the printer (such as outlets for

cables). If any of these should fall into the printer,

immediately turn off the power and contact your

nearest dealer or service center. Continued use

creates a danger of fire or electric shock.

Dropping and Damage

Should the printer ever fall or otherwise become

damaged, immediately turn off the power and contact

your nearest dealer or service center. Continued use

creates a danger of fire or electric shock.

Safety Precautions

Abnormal Conditions

Continued use of the printer while it is emitting smoke

or strange odors creates the danger of fire or electric

shock. Immediately turn off the power and contact

your nearest dealer or service center. Do not try to

service the printer by yourself.

Disassembly

Never try to take the unit apart or modify it in any

way. Doing so creates the danger of fire or electric

shock. Contact your nearest dealer or service center

for repair.

Battery Pack

• Never try to take apart the battery pack or modify it

in any way such as with a solder iron.

•Never expose the battery to direct flame, throw it

into fire, or take any actions that may lead to

shorting.

•When charging the battery pack, make sure to use

the printer or the specified battery charger.

Warning

Safety Precautions

AC Adapter/Battery Charger (Option)

•Use only the specified voltage. Using a different

voltage may create the danger of fire or electric

shock.

•Use only the specified battery charger. Using a

different battery charger may create the danger of

fire or electric shock.

• Never use the battery charger with any other

battery pack except for the specified one. Doing so

can rupture the battery, cause leakage, fire or

electric shock.

•Never cut, damage or modify the power cord. Also,

never place heavy objects on the power cord or

heat or pull the power cord. Doing so may damage

the cord and create the danger or fire or electric

shock.

•Should the power cord ever become seriously

damaged (internal wiring exposed or shorted),

contact your nearest dealer or service center for

repair. Continued use of such a cord creates the

danger of fire or electric shock.

•Never modify, excessively bend, twist, or pull the

power cord. Doing so creates the danger of fire or

electric shock.

Warning

Safety Precautions

Location

Do not locate the printer in the area subjected to high

humidity or dew. If dew forms inside the printer,

immediately turn off the printer and do not use it until

it has been dried up. Continued use creates the

danger of electric shock or the printer damage.

Power

Do not use wet hands to operate the power switch,

replace the battery pack or unplug the AC adapter or

battery charger. Doing so creates the danger of

electric shock.

Thermal Head and Stepping Motor

• The thermal head gets very hot after printing. Take

care when replacing paper or cleaning the printer

just after printing to avoid burn.

•Touching the end of the thermal head with bare

hands may cause injury. Take care when replacing

paper or cleaning the printer to avoid injury.

•Do not try to replace the thermal head by yourself.

Doing so creates the danger of injury, burn, or

electric shock.

Easy Cutter

This part contains a blade. Take care to avoid cutting

your hands.

Caution

Safety Precautions

This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules.

Operation is subject to the following two conditions:

(1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and

(2) This device must accept any interference received,

including interference that may cause undesired operation.

FCC Caution:

Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the manufacturer

for compliance could void the user's authority to operate the equipment.

NOTE : This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the

limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules.

These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against

harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment

generates and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed

and used in accordance with instructions, may cause harmful

interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee

that interference will not occur in a particular installation.

If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or

television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment

off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by

one or more of the following measures:

- Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.

-Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.

- Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to

which the receiver is connected.

-Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

Warning

Safety Precautions

This manual show that both the specification of Bluetooth and wireless

LAN. Please refer to the corresponding section which shows

specification of Bluetooth or wireless LAN.

Wireless LAN specification.

The available scientific evidence does not show that any health

problems are associated with using low power wireless devices. There is

no proof, however, that these low power wireless devices are absolutely

safe. Low power Wireless devices emit low levels of radio frequency

energy (RF) in the microwave range while being used.

Whereas high levels of RF can produce health effects (by heating

tissue), exposure to low level RF that does not produce heating effects

causes no known adverse health effects. Many studies of low level RF

exposures have not found any biological effects. Some studies have

suggested that same biological effects might occur, but such findings

have not been confirmed by additional research.

The (Wireless LAN Module (WM-B-AG-02)) has been tested and found

to comply with the Federal Communications Commission (FCC)

guidelines on radio frequency energy (RF) exposures. The maximum

SAR levels tested for the (Wireless LAN Module (WM-B-AG-02))has

been shown to be (0.449)W/kg at (Body). This device should not be co-

located or operated with any other antenna transmitter.

Warning

Safety Precautions

Replacing the Battery Pack

• Use only the specified battery pack.

•When replacing the battery pack, make sure to

install the pack with the correct direction. Incorrectly

replacing the battery create the danger of injury or

damage to surrounding areas.

•Replacing a small-size rechargeable battery

(Lithium ion battery) Apply insulation treatment for

the old battery pack by sealing the contact with tape

or the like and ask our sales representative or

service center for the measure to be taken for

effective use of scarce resource. Do not place the

battery pack together with other batteries such as

dry batteries.

Leaving the printer unused for a long time

If you have no plan to use the print for a long time,

remove the battery pack from the printer and unplug

the AC adapter from the wall outlet.

Maintenance and Cleaning

For safe maintenance or cleaning of the printer, make

sure to remove the battery pack and the AC adapter

from the printer.

Caution

Safety Precautions

Precautions in Use

Do not place the printer in a hot or cold place.

The operation temperature range is -15 to 50°C (Wireless

LAN model: 0 to 50°C). Do not place the printer in an area

with high humidity or at the temperature outside the

specified range.

Do not drop or give shock to the printer.

The printer is given a protection against vibration possibly

caused during normal transportation. However, do not apply

extreme vibration or shock by dropping to the printer.

Do not disassemble or modify the printer.

The printer has high-precision components inside requiring

fine adjustment. Do not disassemble the printer.

Connect the specified cables to the external

input terminals.

Special cables are required to connect to the external

equipment through the external input terminals. Contact

your nearest dealer or service center if necessary.

Use a specified option.

Do not use a device not specified as option. Otherwise a

fault may occur.

Use the specified paper.

Use the specified paper. Otherwise, broken head or faulty

printing may occur.
