WARNING  
• 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  
labeler.  
• Any data stored in memory will be lost due to failure or repair of the P-touch labeler,  
or if the battery expires.  
• The P-touch labeler is not equipped with a charging feature for rechargeable  
batteries.  
• The length of the printed label may differ from the displayed label length.  
• A protective clear plastic sticker is placed over the display during manufacturing and  
shipping. This sticker should be removed prior to use.  
• When power is disconnected for more than three minutes, all text, format settings and  
any text files stored in the memory will be cleared.

X Switching Upper Case/Lower Case  
X Entering Accented Characters  
Follow these guidelines to avoid the risk of fire, burns, injury,  
rupture, overheating, abnormal odor or smoke.  
• When the P-touch labeler is not being used, store it out of the reach of children. In  
addition, do not allow children to put the P-touch labeler parts or labels in their  
mouths. If any object has been swallowed, seek medical attention.  
• Do not touch metal parts around the print head immediately after printing.  
• 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 if you do not intend to use the P-touch labeler.  
• 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 its plus and minus  
ends reversed.

immediately rinse your eyes with a large amount of clean water, and then seek  
medical attention.  
• Do not disassemble or modify the P-touch labeler/batteries.  
• Do not allow a metal object to contact both the plus and minus ends of a battery.
