Safety Precautions17Safety Precautions16Abnormal ConditionsContinued use of the printer while it is emitting smokeor strange odors creates the danger of fire or electricshock. Immediately turn off the power and contactyour nearest dealer or service center. Do not try toservice the printer by yourself.DisassemblyNever try to take the unit apart or modify it in anyway. Doing so creates the danger of fire or electricshock. Contact your nearest dealer or service centerfor repair.Battery Pack• Never try to take apart the battery pack or modify itin any way such as with a solder iron.•Never expose the battery to direct flame, throw itinto fire, or take any actions that may lead toshorting.•When charging the battery pack, make sure to usethe printer or the specified battery charger.WarningWarningLiquidDo not place any container with water or chemicals,such as flower vase or cup, as well as small metallicobjects, near the printer. If any of these should fallinto the printer, immediately turn off the power andcontact your nearest dealer or service center.Continued use creates a damage of fire or electricshock.Foreign MatterDo not drop or insert metallic or flammable objectsinto the openings on the printer (such as outlets forcables). If any of these should fall into the printer,immediately turn off the power and contact yournearest dealer or service center. Continued usecreates a danger of fire or electric shock.Dropping and DamageShould the printer ever fall or otherwise becomedamaged, immediately turn off the power and contactyour nearest dealer or service center. Continued usecreates a danger of fire or electric shock.
Safety Precautions19Safety Precautions18LocationDo not locate the printer in the area subjected to highhumidity or dew. If dew forms inside the printer,immediately turn off the printer and do not use it untilit has been dried up. Continued use creates thedanger of electric shock or the printer damage.PowerDo not use wet hands to operate the power switch,replace the battery pack or unplug the AC adapter orbattery charger. Doing so creates the danger ofelectric shock.Thermal Head and Stepping Motor• The thermal head gets very hot after printing. Takecare when replacing paper or cleaning the printerjust after printing to avoid burn.•Touching the end of the thermal head with barehands may cause injury. Take care when replacingpaper 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, orelectric shock.Easy CutterThis part contains a blade. Take care to avoid cuttingyour hands.CautionAC Adapter/Battery Charger (Option)•Use only the specified voltage. Using a differentvoltage may create the danger of fire or electricshock.•Use only the specified battery charger. Using adifferent battery charger may create the danger offire or electric shock.• Never use the battery charger with any otherbattery pack except for the specified one. Doing socan rupture the battery, cause leakage, fire orelectric shock.•Never cut, damage or modify the power cord. Also,never place heavy objects on the power cord orheat or pull the power cord. Doing so may damagethe cord and create the danger or fire or electricshock.•Should the power cord ever become seriouslydamaged (internal wiring exposed or shorted),contact your nearest dealer or service center forrepair. Continued use of such a cord creates thedanger of fire or electric shock.•Never modify, excessively bend, twist, or pull thepower cord. Doing so creates the danger of fire orelectric shock.Warning
Safety Precautions111Safety Precautions110This 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 manufacturerfor compliance could void the user's authority to operate the equipment.NOTE : This equipment has been tested and found to comply with thelimits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules.These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection againstharmful interference in a residential installation. This equipmentgenerates and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installedand used in accordance with instructions, may cause harmfulinterference to radio communications. However, there is no guaranteethat interference will not occur in a particular installation.If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio ortelevision reception, which can be determined by turning the equipmentoff and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference byone 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 towhich the receiver is connected.-Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.This manual show that both the specification of Bluetooth and wirelessLAN. Please refer to the corresponding section which showsspecification of Bluetooth or wireless LAN.Wireless LAN specification.The available scientific evidence does not show that any healthproblems are associated with using low power wireless devices. There isno proof, however, that these low power wireless devices are absolutelysafe. Low power Wireless devices emit low levels of radio frequencyenergy (RF) in the microwave range while being used.Whereas high levels of RF can produce health effects (by heatingtissue), exposure to low level RF that does not produce heating effectscauses no known adverse health effects. Many studies of low level RFexposures have not found any biological effects. Some studies havesuggested that same biological effects might occur, but such findingshave not been confirmed by additional research.The (Wireless LAN Module (WM-B-AG-02)) has been tested and foundto comply with the Federal Communications Commission (FCC)guidelines on radio frequency energy (RF) exposures. The maximumSAR levels tested for the (Wireless LAN Module (WM-B-AG-02))hasbeen shown to be (0.449)W/kg at (Body). This device should not be co-located or operated with any other antenna transmitter.WarningWarning
