Operating Precautions
This section presents important information intended to
ensure safe and effective use of the printer. Please read the
following carefully.
Notes on Safety
Be sure to use the specified battery and power source
provided by our company. Connection to an improper power
source may cause fire, explosion or damage to the printer.
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.
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.
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.

Notes on Using
Be sure not to print continuously over 1 meter, otherwise may
cause damage to the print head.
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.
Please do not open the paper case cover when it is printing,
otherwise the printer may work improperly.
If print with serial interface, should not unplug the interface
cable in the course of printing, or else some printing data may
be lost.
When print in Ir or IrDA mode, be sure the Ir window of the
host equipment face rightly the Ir window of the printer, the
distance should be within the range of 80mm, and the angle
should be within the range of 30o.
When print with Bluetooth interface, the communication
distance should be within 10 meters, otherwise the printer
doesn’t print or prints rubbish codes.
Too high（45℃）or too low（5℃）temperature and too high
(85％)or too low (20％) relative humidity both effect the print
quality.
The print paper in poor quality or stored for too long time also
may reduce the print quality even damage the printer.

Be sure to use up the electricity of the battery before charge it,
as it can ensure the using life of the battery.
Notes on Handling
The printer should be placed in such an environment that the
temperature is between -20℃and 60℃, and the relative
humidity is between 5% and 95%.
If the printer will be stored for a long time, pleas be sure to
take out the battery, otherwise may damage the battery and
printer.
When the Li battery is stored over 3 months,it shoud be taken
out to charge one time, in order to avoid the battery damage.
