• Remove the batteries if you do not intend to use the P-touch labeling system for an extended
period of time.
• Dispose of the battery at an appropriate collection point, not in the general waste stream. In
addition, be sure to observe all applicable federal, state, and local regulations.
• When storing or discarding the battery, wrap it (for example with
cellophane tape), to prevent it from short-circuiting.
