Battery Safety Precautions

1. If you observe any abnormal symptom, such as strange smell and overheating, on first use after purchasing the product, contact your local dealer immediately.
2. Charge the battery only with the exclusive charger specified (optionally provided)by BIXOLON. The use of an incorrect charger may result in overheating, combustion and/or explosion of the battery.
3. Do not use or leave the battery in a location exposed to high temperatures or intense direct sunlight, such as within an automobile. Doing so can cause battery overheating and/or combustion. In addition, battery performance and product life may be reduced.
4. Do not allow water, seawater or moisture to enter or leak into the battery. If the safety mechanism within the battery becomes oxidized, the battery may overcharge with abnormal electrical current and/or voltage so that it may overheat, ignite and/or explode.
5. Do not throw the battery or subject it to strong shock. If the safety mechanism in the battery is damaged, the battery may be overcharged and, consequently, an adverse chemical reaction may be generated in the battery. There is a potential risk of battery overheating, combustion, and/or explosion.
6. Do not use the battery if it is damaged or the exterior is deformed due to external shock or if it is swollen.

Printer Cleaning

If the interior of the printer is dusty, print quality can decline.
In such a case, follow the instructions below to clean the printer.

• Caution

1. Make sure the printer power is turned off before cleaning.

2. Wait for two to three minutes after power-off before head cleaning because the head part may become very hot during printer operation.

3. Take care not to touch the heating region of the head with your hand while cleaning the head part.
   → The printer head may be damaged by static electricity.

4. Take care to avoid scratching the head. 5) Clean the printer head periodically if linerless paper is used. Recommended cleaning period is after consuming ten rolls of linerless paper (100 meters), or more than once a week. Printing quality may be degraded or printer life may be shortened if the head is not cleaned periodically.
