Getting Started

Follow the steps in this section to print your first label.

Connecting the Power

The label maker is powered by a rechargeable, lithium-ion (Li-ion) battery pack. To save power, the label maker automatically turns off after two minutes of inactivity.

Remove the battery pack if the label maker will not be used for a long period of time.

Inserting the Battery Pack

The battery pack included with your label maker comes partially charged. For best performance, fully charge the battery as soon as possible.

Make sure the charging adapter is disconnected before handling the Li-ion battery pack.

To insert the battery pack

1 Slide the battery compartment cover away from the label maker. See Figure 2.
