Turn off the printer, and unplug the AC plug from an outlet in any of the following cases. (In case

of using the car charger, unplug the cigar plug from a car accessory socket.) And then, remove

the battery pack.

◆Abnormal status continues.

◆The products are giving off an unusual smell, smoke, excessive heat or unusual noise.

◆A piece of metal, water or other foreign objects get into the products.

◆The case is broken.

When the cable of the AC adapter or AC cable is damaged, unplug the AC plug from an outlet.

DO NOT use a damaged AC adapter or AC cable.

When the cable of the car charger is damaged, unplug the cigar plug from a car accessory

socket. DO NOT use the car charger which has damaged cable.

In any of the following cases, remove the battery pack from the printer or battery charger. Then,

stop using the battery pack and never put it close to fire.

◆The battery pack is giving off an unusual smell, smoke or excessive heat.

◆The case is broken.

◆Liquid is leaking.

When leaking liquid from battery pack gets into eyes, flush them immediately with clean water

and see a doctor immediately.

Otherwise it may cause vision loss.

For wireless communication

Observe the following instructions.

Always turn off the printer in areas or regions where its use is prohibited, such as on the airplane.

This function may adversely affect medical and electronic devices. Consult the manufacturer or

the dealer of the devices to determine when they are shielded adequately.

Observe the following instructions. Failure to follow the instructions may lead fire, electric shock, or

accident.

Turn off the products and unplug the AC plug from an outlet when not in use for a long time or

before maintenance. And remove the battery pack from the printer or battery charger.

DO NOT use or store the products in the following locations:

◆Locations exposed to direct sunlight or high temperature such as in a car.

◆Locations exposed to high humidity, a lot of dust, and liquid.

◆Locations subject to strong vibration or unstable locations.

DO NOT cover the products with a cloth when in use.

NEVER touch the thermal head immediately after printing because it may get hot. Be sure to allow

it to cool down before clearing a paper jam or cleaning its head.

The printer has 2 paper cutters on the paper outlet: one is on the printer side, and the other is on

the paper cover side. DO NOT touch the cutters directly with hands. Especially, make sure not to

touch the exposed cutters while the printer cover is open.

Keep loose objects such as long hair away from the printer while the printer operates. When they

fall into the printer, it may cause personal injury or damage the printer.

To prevent the battery pack from dropping off, be sure to install and fix the battery pack securely to

the printer or battery charger. Dropped battery pack may cause personal injury or malfunction.

When using the belt clip, be sure to install the battery pack in the printer because the belt clip

comes off too easily from the printer without installing the battery pack. Dropped printer may

cause personal injury or malfunction.

When using the shoulder strap, be sure to install the shoulder strap securely to the printer.

Dropped printer may cause personal injury or malfunction.

Avoid the direct skin contact with the battery pack while using the belt clip or shoulder strap.

Prolonged skin contact may cause low-temperature burns.

Keep the products away from infants and children.

When leaking liquid from battery pack contacts your skin or clothing, flush them immediately with

clean water.

Suitable environment for the use of the printer is as follows:

Range of the temperature Range of the humidity

Print with battery pack -4°F to 122°F

(-20°C to 50°C)

10%RH to 90%RH

(Non condensing)

Print with AC adapter 32°F to 104°F

(0°C to 40°C)

20%RH to 80%RH

(Non condensing)

Charge battery pack 32°F to 104°F

(0°C to 40°C)

20%RH to 80%RH

(Non condensing)

See "MP-A40 SERIES THERMAL PRINTER TECHNICAL REFERENCE" for the certifiable humidity

range at each temperature.

◆DO NOT install the products near devices that generate strong electromagnetic fields such as a

copy machine motor.

◆DO NOT install the products in a location that is subject to corrosive gas, siloxane and so on.

◆DO NOT connect the AC adapter or the AC cable to the same outlet with devices that generate

noise.

Precautions when using or driving

◆DO NOT print without the thermal paper.

◆DO NOT use thermal papers taped together.

◆NEVER pull out the thermal paper when the thermal paper is set.

◆DO NOT open the paper cover during printing.
