READ THIS FIRST Safety Precautions Before using the printer, please ensure that you have read and understood the safety precautions described below. Always ensure that the printer is operated correctly. The safety precautions noted on the following pages are intended to instruct you in the safe and correct operation of the printer and its accessories to prevent injuries or damage to yourself, other persons and equipment.
READ THIS FIRST contact with liquids or salt air, wipe it dry with a soft, absorbent cloth. If water or other foreign substances enter the interior, immediately turn the printer’s power off and remove the printer battery or unplug the power cord from the electrical outlet. Continued use of the equipment may result in fire or electrical shock. Do not use substances containing alcohol, benzene, thinners or other flammable substances to clean or maintain the equipment.
READ THIS FIRST Do not attempt to disassemble, alter or apply heat to the batteries. There is serious risk of injury due to an explosion. Immediately flush with water any area of the body – including the eyes and mouth, or clothing – that comes into contact with the inner contents of a battery. If the eyes or mouth contact these substances, immediately flush with water and seek medical assistance. Avoid dropping or subjecting the batteries to severe impacts that could damage the casings.
READ THIS FIRST Exposure to intense sunlight and heat may cause the batteries to leak, overheat or explode, resulting in fire, burns or other injuries. High temperatures may also cause deformation of the casing. Ensure that there is good ventilation when using the compact power adapter to charge the battery pack or power the printer. Do not store the equipment in humid or dusty areas. Storage in such areas could lead to fire, electrical shock or other damage.
