GETTING STARTED

AC Adapter

Use the AD-E001 (AC adapter) for this labelling system. The AD-18 or AD-24ES cannot be

used. Connect the AC adapter directly to the P-touch labelling system.

Insert the plug on the AC adapter cord into the connector marked DC IN 12V on the

P-touch labelling system.

Insert the AC adapter plug into a standard electrical outlet.

• Turn the P-touch labelling system off before disconnecting the AC adapter.
• Do not pull or bend the AC adapter cord.
• 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.

To safeguard and backup the labelling system's memory, when the AC adapter is unplugged it is
recommended to have AA-size alkaline batteries (LR6) or Ni-MH rechargeable batteries (HR6)
installed in the labelling system.
