Power Supply
Replacing the rechargeable battery
Replace the battery when the P-touch can only be used for a short time even after
recharging. The battery may not be charged sufficiently when the power supply is less
than the rated voltage. While the replacement period varies depending on the
conditions of use, the battery will generally need to be replaced after approximately one
year. Be sure to replace it with the specified rechargeable battery (BA-18R).
Press on the back cover opening grip and open the back cover.
Slide the battery case cover in the direction of the arrow and open the case.
Remove the expired battery and disconnect the
connector.
Connect the connector on the battery wires and insert the new battery into the
case. Refer to “Installing the rechargeable battery” on page 16.
Attach the battery case cover and close the back cover.
• The AC power lamp lights when the P-touch is set in the battery charger and the AC adapter
is connected to the battery charger, or when the AC adapter is connected directly to the
P-touch, regardless of whether a battery is fitted or charging is complete.
• Be sure to charge the battery before using the P-touch.
• Connect the AC adapter directly to the P-touch to use it when the battery’s charge becomes
low.
• Return the P-touch to the battery charger after use. Even when not used the battery will run
down if the P-touch is not placed on the battery charger.
• Leaving the P-touch on the charger even when the battery is fully charged will not damage it.
• The battery may not be charged sufficiently when the power supply is less than the rated
voltage.
Be sure to charge the new battery for 12 hours after replacement.
