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.

Label Maker complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two
conditions: (1) Label Maker may not cause harmful interference, and (2) Label Maker must
accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.
Label Maker has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device,
pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable
protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. Label Maker generates,
uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with
the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there
is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If the Label Maker
does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by
turning the Label Maker off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by
one or more of the following measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the separation between the Label Maker and receiver.
• Connect the Label Maker into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is
connected.
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
• This transmitter must not be co-located or operated in conjunction with any other antenna or
transmitter.
Important
• The enclosed interface cable should be used in order to ensure compliance with the limits
for a Class B digital device.
• Changes or modifications not expressly approved by Brother Industries, Ltd. could void the
user’s authority to operate the Label Maker.
