Notes on batteries
☞
This P-touch requires six AA-size batteries (LR6).
☞
Do not use any of the following, otherwise battery leakage or damage may occur.
• Manganese batteries
• A combination of new and used batteries
• A combination of batteries of different types (alkaline and Ni-MH), different
manufacturers or different models
☞
Make sure that the batteries are inserted so that their poles point in the correct direction.
With batteries installed, the P-touch determines the remaining battery charge during
printing and feeding. If a low battery charge is detected, the low battery indicator (
)
)
comes on. When this occurs, be sure to replace the batteries. The low battery indicator
may not come on in some operating conditions.
