WARNING

Follow these guidelines to avoid the risk of fire, burns, injury, electric shocks,

Always use the specified voltage

and the suggested AC adapter

(AD-E001) for the P-touch to

prevent any damage or failure.

Do not touch the AC adapter and

P-touch during a thunder storm.

Do not use the P-touch/AC adapter

in places of high humidity such as

bathrooms.

Do not damage, or place heavy

objects on the power cord or plug.

Do not forcibly bend or pull the

power cord. Always hold the AC

adapter 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 or

damaged.

Do not allow the P-touch/AC

adapter/power plug/batteries to get

wet, for example, by handling them

with wet hands or spilling liquids 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

P-touch/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 and

remove batteries immediately and

stop using the P-touch if you notice

abnormal odour, heat,

discolouration, deformation or

anything unusual while using or

storing it.

INTRODUCTION

Safety Precautions

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 it

generating heat.

Do not touch metal parts around

the print head immediately after

printing.

When the P-touch is not being

used, store it out of the reach of

children. In addition, do not allow

children to put any P-touch parts or

labels in their mouths. If any object

has been swallowed, seek medical

attention.

Do not use a damaged adapter

cord or power plug.

Do not use the P-touch if a foreign

object enters the P-touch. If any

foreign object enters the P-touch,

disconnect the AC adapter and

remove the batteries, and contact

Brother customer service.

CAUTION

Follow these guidelines to avoid personal injury, liquid leakage, burns or heat.

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 P-touch.

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 the

polarity (+ and -) reversed.

Do not drop or hit the P-touch/

AC adapter.

Do not press on the LCD display.

Do not put your finger inside the

P-touch when you close the tape

cassette compartment cover or

battery compartment 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 specialised battery charger

before using the batteries.

WARNING

INTRODUCTION

General Precautions

• Depending on the location, material, and environmental conditions, the label may

unpeel or become irremovable, or the colour of the label may change or be

transferred to other objects. Before applying the label, check the environmental

conditions and the material.

• Do not use the P-touch in any way or for any purpose not described in this guide.

Doing so may result in accidents or damage to the P-touch.

• Use Brother TZe tapes with the P-touch.

• Only use a soft, dry cloth to clean the labeller; never use alcohol or other organic

solvents.

• 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, AC adapter connector or

USB port, etc.

• Do not place the P-touch/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

P-touch.

• It is recommended that you use the USB cable supplied with the P-touch. Should

another USB cable need to be used, ensure it is of high quality construction.

• Any data saved in memory may be lost due to failure or repair of the P-touch, or

if the battery expires.

• The P-touch is not equipped with a charging feature for rechargeable batteries.

• The printed text may differ from the text that appears on the LCD.

• The length of the printed label may differ from the displayed label length.

• When power is disconnected for two minutes, all text, format settings and any text

files saved in the memory will be cleared.

• You can also use Heat Shrink Tube in this model. Check the Brother website

(http://www.brother.com/) for further information. You cannot print frames,

pre-set P-touch templates, or use certain font settings when using Heat Shrink

Tube. Printed characters may also be smaller than when using TZe tape.

•A protective clear plastic sticker is placed over the display during

manufacturing and shipping. This sticker should be removed prior to use.
