Important Safety Information
Static Discharge and Thermal Printing
Caution • Static Discharge
The discharge of electrostatic energy can damage or destroy the printhead or electronic compo-
nents used in this device. DO NOT TOUCH the printhead or any exposed electronic components.
Caution • Printhead
The printhead can become hot after prolonged printing. Use only the supplied cleaning pen to per-
form maintenance on the printhead.
Battery Safety
Caution • Short Circuits
Avoid accidental short circuiting of any battery. Allowing battery terminals to contact conduc-
tive material will create a short circuit which could cause burns and other injuries or could start
a fire.
Important • Lithium-Ion (LI-ion) Battery Disposal
Always dispose of used printer batteries properly. Disposal regulations may vary by location.
Refer to Appendix D of the Users Guide for more battery recycling information.
Caution • Use Zebra Chargers
Use of any charger not approved specifically by Zebra for use with its batteries could cause dam-
age to the Battery Pack or the Printer and will void the warranty.
