2. Install Batteries or Connect the AC Adapter

Remove the protective material (first use only) before using the Label Maker.

Batteries

AC Adapter

• When using the AC Adapter (AD-E001A):

- Insert the Adapter cord plug into the AC Adapter Jack 

on the side of the printer.

- Insert the plug into the nearest standard electrical 

outlet. For memory backup, we recommend using AA

alkaline batteries (LR6) together with the AC Adapter.

• To safeguard and back up the Label Maker’s memory, 

when the AC Adapter is unplugged, keep AA alkaline 

batteries (LR6) installed in the Label Maker.

• When power is disconnected for more than two minutes, 

all text and format settings will be cleared. Any text files 

stored in the memory will also be cleared.

• Remove the batteries if you do not intend to use the 

Label Maker for an extended period of time.

• Dispose of the batteries at an appropriate collection 

point, not in the general waste stream. In addition, be 

sure to observe all applicable federal, state, and local 

regulations.

• When storing or discarding the batteries, wrap them (for

example with cellophane tape), to prevent them from

short-circuiting.
