GENERAL PRECAUTIONS  
POWER SUPPLY & TAPE CASSETTES  
Remove the back cover by pressing in the rough area at the top end of the machine.  
If a tape cassette is already installed, remove it by pulling it straight up. Also, if batteries are  
already installed, remove them.  
Use only Brother TZ tapes with this machine. Do not use tapes that do not have  
a
the  
mark.  
Do not pull on the tape being fed from the P-touch, otherwise the tape cassette  
may be damaged.  
Do not attempt to cut the tape while printing or feeding since this will damage the tape.  
Do not clean the machine with alcohol or other organic solvents. Only use a soft, dry  
cloth.  
Remove the batteries and disconnect the AC adapter if you do not intend to use the  
machine for an extended period of time.  
Note: If power is disconnected for more than three minutes, all text shown in the  
display and any text files stored in the memory will be lost. Language and unit  
settings will also be cleared.  
Do not put any foreign objects into or heavy objects on the machine.  
Do not expose the machine to extremely high temperatures or high humidity. Never  
leave it on the dashboard or in the back of your car.  
Avoid using the machine in extremely dusty places. Keep it out of both direct sunlight  
and rain.  
Do not leave any rubber or vinyl on the machine for an extended period of time,  
otherwise the machine may be stained.  
Do not touch the print head mechanism. If the head is touched, clean it immediately  
with a soft wipe (e.g. a cotton swab) to avoid permanent damage.  
To avoid injuries, do not touch the cutter's edge.
