Preparation

1. Connecting the AC adapter

Connect the AC adapter that comes with your LABELShop� BEE3 to supply power from the electrical outlet (AC120V).

Connect the AC adapter to the connector on your LABELShop� BEE3 firmly.

* Be sure to connect the adapter as far as it can go so as to supply power steadily.

Plug the other end of the AC adapter into the electrical outlet.

� Unplug the AC adapter from both the device and the outlet after use. This may prevent possible accidents caused by tripping over the cord.� When handling the AC adapter cord, be sure not to pull it forcibly or bend it repeatedly.

This may break the cord.� The safety feature of the device may cut the circuit of the AC adapter when the plug

shorts out or on other occasions.� LABELShop� BEE3 warranty does not apply to the AC adapter.

26 Getting Started

2. Installing the batteries

Your LABELShop� BEE3 also works with batteries when an electrical outlet is not available. Six AA alkaline batteries are required.

Remove the battery cover.Take off the cover while releasing the tab.

Be sure to turn off the power before installing the batteries.

Insert the batteries.Insert six AA alkaline batteries with the correct polarity as shown.

Close the battery cover.Adjust the two tabs to the holes of the main unit, and close the battery cover firmly until it clicks.

Getting Started 27

� Use AA alkaline batteries only. Other types of battery have short lives, and the message to notify the user that the battery is running out may not be displayed.� The batteries are used for storing files, text data you entered on the

LABELShop� BEE3. Even though you can print only with the battery power, it will shorten the battery life. To minimize the battery consumption, always use the AC adapter or the optional Truck/Auto adapter (LSTA-3B)whenever using the LABELShop� BEE3.� You can print labels with batteries installed, however, it is strongly recommended that you

connect either adapter before printing.� Be sure to replace the batteries with the power turned off to avoid the stored data on the

LABELShop� BEE3 from being deleted. Also, do not keep the LABELShop� BEE3 without the batteries for more than four minutes. Otherwise all of the text data or settings you entered or saved may be cleared.� Make sure to use the AC adapter only.

� Print speed becomes slower when the AC adapter is not connected.� Printing on the wide tape will temporarily cause the device to consume a large amount of

current, and can cause the device to display "Change Batteries" even if new batteries are installed. This is normal operation for the device.� Print speed becomes slower when the batteries are running low, then "Change Batteries"

appears on the display. Replace all the batteries with new ones or connect the AC adapter immediately, otherwise the LABELShop� BEE3 may turn off in the middle of the operation or during printing.� New AA alkaline batteries will supply enough power for the device to print on one tape

cartridge (0.7" x 26') at room temperatures. However, when you operate the device in cold places or print on wide tapes, the life span of the batteries becomes shorter. You are recommended to use the AC adapter as much as possible. Do not use an AC adapter other than the one designed for this printer.� Make sure to turn off the power after use.� If your LABELShop� BEE3 is not to be used for long periods, remove the batteries from

the device to avoid possible leakage.� Dispose of the used batteries according to your local regulations.
