 GETTING STARTED

Installing Power Supply

When using AC Adapter 
(AD-24ESA-01/
AD-24ESAW-01):
1. Insert the Power 
Adapter cord into the AC 
Adapter Jack on the side 
of the machine.

2. Insert the Power 
Adapter into a standard 
AC electrical outlet.

When using batteries:
1. Make sure the power is 
off.

2. With the LCD facing 
down, remove the Battery 
Compartment Cover by 
pressing the grooved tab 
and pushing in the 
direction of the arrow, as 
illustrated.

3. This label maker 
requires six (6) AA 
alkaline batteries, not 
included.
Make sure that the 
positive (+) and negative 
(-) ends of the batteries 
match the marks inside 
the battery compartment.
Note:  
Always replace all six 
batteries at the same time 
using brand new ones.

4. Attach the Battery 
Compartment Cover by 
inserting the three hooks 
at the bottom into the 
slots on the machine, then 
press down firmly until it 
clicks into place.

When running a memory 
backup, we recommend 
using both the Power 
Adapter AND batteries, in 
the event that one or the 
other power method fails.
