Handling the AC
adapter when moving
On the occasion of carrying, first disconnect the AC adapter from the
outlet. If the AC adapter is not disconnected, it may be damaged,
which may cause fire or electric shock.
Battery pack
If the battery pack leaks and gets on your skin or clothes,
immediately rinse well with clean water, such as tap water. It may
cause skin rashes.
If you notice any rust, unusual odor, overheating, or other unusual
conditions during your first use after purchase, stop using the battery
pack and contact your SATO reseller or technical support center.
Safety Precautions

Replacing the Battery
Pack
Be sure to charge the battery pack before its first use or when it has
not been used for a long time.
When not using the battery pack, store it in a location with low
humidity to avoid the battery from leaking or rusting.
Clean the terminals of the battery pack with a dry cloth before use
since dirty terminals may cause an unstable connection, battery
exhaustion or an inability to charge.
Use only the specified battery pack.
When replacing the battery pack, make sure to install the pack in
the correct orientation. Incorrectly replacing the battery creates
the danger of injury or damage to surrounding areas, or causes
explosion.
Replace with a small-size rechargeable battery (Lithium ion battery).
Apply insulation treatment to the old battery pack by sealing the
contact with tape or the like and ask our sales representative or
service center for the measures to be taken to recycle the reusable
materials. Do not place the battery pack together with other batteries
such as dry batteries.
The life expectancy of the lithium ion battery pack varies depending
on usage. We recommend that you replace the battery after 300
charge cycles or 3 years from the date of first use, whichever comes
first.
If you notice any dents or cracks on your battery crust caused by
strong impacts or shocks, stop using the battery immediately and
replace it with a new one. Continued use under these conditions may
lead to abnormal overheating or fire.
Power cords and
cables
Grab power cords and cables by their plug when removing from
electrical outlets or connector ports.
Removing power cords and cables by grabbing the cord/cable may
result in exposure of wires, breakage, fire, or electric shock.
Do not place power cords and cables near heaters or other sources
of heat. Placing power cords and cables near heaters or other
sources of heat may result in melting of the power cord/cable
sheathing, fire, or electric shock.
Opening and closing
the print head
When opening and closing the print head, be careful not to insert
foreign materials, other than media, in the print head. Otherwise, it
may result in injury or damage.

Safety Precautions for the Battery Pack
18
The life expectancy of the lithium ion battery pack ("battery")
varies depending on usage. We recommend that you replace the
battery after 300 charge cycles or 3 years from the date of first use,
whichever comes first.
If you notice any dents or cracks on your battery crust caused by
strong impacts or shocks, stop using the battery immediately and
replace it with a new one. Continued use under these conditions may
lead to abnormal overheating or fire.
Do not disassemble or modify the battery.
Do not place the battery in fire, or apply heat to the battery.
Do not place the battery near fires, stoves, or other high-temperature
locations (above 60°C) such as inside closed cars in hot weather.
Do not charge or discharge the battery near flammable materials.
Do not connect the positive (+) and negative (-) terminal of the
battery with any conductive materials such as metal wires. Do not
carry or store the battery together with necklaces, hairpins, or other
metal objects to prevent accidental short-circuiting of the battery.
Do not wet or immerse the battery in water, seawater, or other liquids.
Do not throw or drop the battery, subjecting it to strong impacts or
shocks.
Do not pierce the battery with sharp objects such as nails, strike the
battery with a hammer, or step on the battery.
When charging the battery as fitted in the product, use an AC adapter
specified by SATO Corporation.
When connecting the battery to an AC outlet, a car cigarette lighter
outlet or the like, always use the dedicated charger.
19
Do not rub your eyes if the battery liquid leaks and comes into
contact with your eyes. Rinse well with clean water such as tap
water, and seek medical attention immediately.
If charging is not completed after the specified time elapses, remove
the battery from the product or charger and stop charging.
If you notice any unusual odor, heat, discoloration, deformation,
fluid leakage or any other characteristic apart from what you are
used to while using, charging or storing the battery, then perform the
following immediately.
Unplug the power cord from the AC outlet.
Power off the product.
Remove the battery from the product or charger. Keep the battery
away from fire and avoid using it. Otherwise, there may result in
fire, burn, injury, or electric shock.
Store the battery in a location out of reach of young children. Ensure
that the battery is not placed in the mouth or swallowed accidentally.
Charge the battery in the recommended temperature range from 5°C
to 35°C.
Occasionally clean the terminal by wiping with a dry cotton swab or
the like.
When storing the battery, avoid storing in the following state.
In a fully charged state (a state immediately following the
completion of charging)
In a state with no remaining capacity (the battery is so exhausted
that it is even impossible to turn on the product)
Doing so may result in a degraded battery performance or reduced
lifetime. An optimal remaining capacity to store the battery is
approximately 40%.
Safety Precautions for the Battery Pack
20
Even when the battery is expected not to be used for a long time, do
the following about every six months to enable the battery to maintain
its performance: fully charge the battery and use it to drive your
product until its remaining capacity decreases to approximately 40%,
then remove the battery from the product and store it in a cool room
with low humidity.
A tip before use
If you write down the start date on the sticker on the battery, you will know when to replace the battery.
