• Always use the specified voltage and the suggested AC adapter (AD-24ES/AD24ESA/AD24ESAW/AD-24ESA-01/AD-24ESAW-01) for the P-touch labeler to prevent any damage or failure.
• Do not touch the P-touch labeler during a lightning storm.
• Do not use the P-touch labeler/AC adapter in places of high humidity, such as bathrooms.
• Do not overload the power cord.
• Do not place heavy objects on or damage the power cord or plug. Do not forcibly bend or pull the power cord. Always hold the AC adapter when disconnecting from the power outlet.
• Make sure that the plug is fully inserted into the power outlet. Do not use an outlet that is loose.
• Do not allow the P-touch labeler/AC adapter/power plug/batteries to get wet, for example, by handling them with wet hands or spilling beverages on them.

• Do not place the P-touch labeler/batteries/AC adapter in direct sunlight or rain, near heaters or other hot appliances, in any location exposed to extremely high or low temperatures (e.g., on the dashboard or in the back of your car), or high humidity, or in dusty locations.
• Do not apply excessive pressure to the cutter lever.
• Do not try to print if the cassette is empty; it will damage the print head.
