Follow these guidelines to avoid the risk of fire, burns,
injury, electric shock, rupture, overheating, abnormal
odours or smoke.
• Always use the specified voltage and the recommended AC adapter
(AD-24ES/AD-5000ES:For Australia, New Zealand only) to prevent any
damage or failure.
• Do not touch the P-touch during a lightning storm.
• Do not use the P-touch/AC adapter in places of high humidity such as
bathrooms.
• Do not overload the power cord.
• Do not place heavy objects on, or damage the AC power cord or plug.
Do not forcibly bend or pull the AC power cord. Always hold the AC
adapter carefully when disconnecting from the power socket.
• Make sure that the plug is fully inserted in the power socket. Do not use
a socket that is loose.
• Do not allow the P-touch/AC adapter/power plug/batteries to get wet, for
example, by handling them with wet hands or spilling fluids on to them.
• If battery fluid leaks and gets in to your eyes, immediately rinse your
eyes with a large amount of clean water and then seek medical attention.
Battery fluid may cause eye damage.
• 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 or metal 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 or remove batteries immediately and stop
using the P-touch if you notice any abnormal odours, heat,
discolouration, deformation or anything unusual while using or storing it.
• 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 with a damaged label.
There is a possibility of generating heat.
Follow these guidelines to avoid personal injury, liquid
leakage, burns or heat.
• When the P-touch is not being used, store it out of the reach of children.
In addition, do not allow children to put the P-touch parts or labels in their
mouths. If any object has been swallowed, seek medical attention
immediately.
• 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 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 its plus and minus ends reversed.
• Do not drop or hit the P-touch/AC adapter.
• Do not press on the LCD display.
• Be careful not to trap your fingers when closing the cassette 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
specialized battery charger before using the batteries.
• Depending on the location, material, and environmental conditions, the
label may unpeel or become irremovable, 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 only Brother TZe tapes with the P-touch. Do not use tapes that do
not have the mark.

organic solvents.

directly.

rain, near heaters or other hot appliances, or in any location exposed to
extremely high or low temperatures (e.g., on the dashboard or in the
back of your car). Avoid high humidity or 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.
• Any data stored in memory will 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 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.
