Safety Precautions for the Battery
14
• Do not disassemble or modify the battery.
• Never apply heat or place the battery in the fire.
• Do not place the battery near heating equipment such as cooking
appliances or a heater, inside a car under the blazing sun, or in other
high-temperature locations (above 60°C or 140°F). Doing so could
cause the battery to rupture.
• While charging or discharging the battery, do not put any flammable
material on the battery or cover the battery with a cloth or other
materials.
• Do not place the positive (+) and negative (-) terminals of the battery
on or in contact with any conductive materials, such as metal wires.
Do not carry or store the battery together with necklaces, hairpins,
or other metal objects. Doing so could result in accidental short-
circuiting of the battery.
• Do not wet or immerse the battery in liquids such as water, seawater,
beverages, and seasoning agents.
• Do not beat the battery with a hammer, and do not step on, throw, or
drop it.
• Do not pierce the battery with a nail or other metal objects.
• Do not touch the terminals of the battery. Doing so could cause the
battery to corrode.
• The lithium ion battery has a finite lifespan. We recommend that you
replace the battery after 300 charge cycles or 3 years from the date
of first use, whichever comes first.
• If you notice any dents or cracks on your battery caused by a strong
impact or shock, stop using the battery immediately and replace
it with a new one. Using the battery in this condition could lead to
abnormal overheating or fire.
• Use only the specified battery.

15
• When charging the battery while in the product, use an AC adapter
specified by us.
• When connecting the battery to an outlet such as a car cigarette
lighter outlet, always use the dedicated battery charger.
• Do not rub your eyes if the liquid from the battery leaks and comes
into contact with your eyes. Rinse well with clean water such as tap
water, and seek medical attention immediately. Otherwise, it could
impair your vision.
• If charging is not completed even after a specified time elapses,
remove the battery from the product or battery charger and stop
charging. Then, contact your SATO reseller or technical support.
• If any abnormality is detected (such as a strange odor, overheating,
discoloration, deformation, leakage, etc.), stop using the product
immediately and perform the following. Then, contact your SATO
reseller or technical support. Using the product in this condition could
result in a fire, injuries, or electric shock.
◦ Power off the product.
◦ Unplug the power cord from the outlet.
◦ Remove the battery from the product or battery charger, and
place it away from any flammable materials.
• Be sure to charge the battery before its first use or when it has not
been used for a long time.
• Charge the battery in the recommended temperature range from 5°C
to 35°C (41°F to 95°F).
• Store the battery in a location out of reach of young children. Also, do
not lick the battery or put it in your mouth.
• Dirty terminals on the battery could result in an unstable connection,
battery exhaustion, or an inability to charge. Clean the terminals of
the battery with a dry cloth before use.
• When storing the battery, avoid storing in the following state. Doing
so could result in a degraded battery performance or reduced
lifespan.

Safety Precautions for the Battery
16
◦ In a fully charged state (a state immediately following the
completion of charging)
◦ In a state with no remaining capacity (the battery is so exhausted
that it is even impossible to power on the product)
An optimal remaining capacity to store the battery is approximately
40%.
• When not using the battery, store it in a location with low humidity to
prevent the battery from leaking or rusting.
• When replacing the battery, be sure to install it in the correct
orientation. Incorrectly inserting the battery could damage the
periphery of the battery insertion slot.
• If you have an old battery to dispose, to ensure the efficient use
of scarce resources, seal the contact with tape or with a similar
material, and consult with your reseller or technical support on how to
dispose them. Do not place the battery together with other batteries
such as dry batteries.
A tip before use
If you write down the start date on the sticker on the battery, you will know when to replace the battery.

Precautions for Installation and Handling
Select a Safe Location
Product operations can be affected by the product's environment.
Refer to the following instructions regarding how to install and handle the product.
Install the product on a surface that is flat and level.
Installing the product on a surface that is tilted, and not flat, may reduce the print quality. This may
also cause malfunctions and decrease the life span of the product.
Store the product on a level surface.
Do not store the product on an uneven or slanted surface. Doing so may result in a falling
accident.
Do not use or store the product in a location where the temperature and/or humidity are high.
Avoid locations subject to extreme or fast changes in temperature or humidity.
Do not place the product near heating equipment such as a cooking appliance or heater, or in
other high-temperature locations.
The product may break.
Do not use or store the product in a location exposed to water or oil.
Water or oil entering inside the product may cause a fire, electric shock or malfunction.
Avoid dust.
Dust build up may result in reduced print quality, malfunctions, or damage.
Keep out of direct sunlight.
The product has a built-in optical sensor. Exposure to direct sunlight may cause false detections
by the sensor, and may cause the product to not operate correctly. In addition, close the cover
when using the product.
Do not use in hazardous locations.
Do not use in a potentially explosive environment or atmosphere. Doing so could cause a fire or
explosion.
Do not supply power from an AC outlet near electrical equipment with high power
consumption.
Doing so could cause malfunctions or damage due to electrical noise or voltage reduction.

Power Supply
18
Power Supply
