• If the P-touch is turned on with the rechargeable Li-ion battery installed and the AC adapter connected to
an electrical socket, the battery will be recharged. However, when the P-touch is turned on, even after the
rechargeable battery has been charged, the battery charge will be used, leaving the battery with less than
a full charge the next time the P-touch is used. We recommend leaving the P-touch turned off while
charging the battery.
• Although the charging stops if the P-touch is used to print, feed, or perform another operation, the charging
will start again automatically after the operation is finished if the charging is not completed.
Stopping Rechargeable Li-ion Battery Charging
21
To stop the battery charging, disconnect the AC adapter.
Notes on Using the Rechargeable Li-ion Battery
21
Before use, fully charge the battery. Do not use it until it is fully charged.
The battery charging must take place in environments between 0°C and 40°C, otherwise the battery will
not charge, and the
(Battery) indicator will remain lit. If the charging stops because the environment
temperature is too low or too high, place the P-touch with a temperature between 0°C and 40°C and try
charging again.
If the P-touch is used to print, feed, or perform another operation when both the battery is installed and the
AC adapter is connected, the
(Battery) indicator may turn off and charging may stop even if the battery
is not fully charged.
Rechargeable Li-ion Battery Characteristics
21
To ensure the highest performance and longest life from the battery:
Do not use or store the battery in a location exposed to extreme high or low temperatures as it may
discharge more quickly. This may happen when using a rechargeable Li-ion battery with a high charge
(90% charged or more) in a location exposed to high temperatures.
Remove the battery when storing the P-touch for long periods of time.
Store a battery with less than a 50% charge in a cool dry place out of direct sunlight.
Recharge the battery every six months if it is stored for long periods of time.
If you touch a part of the P-touch while the Li-ion battery is charging, that part of the P-touch may feel
warm. This is normal, and the P-touch may be used safely. However, if the P-touch becomes extremely
hot, discontinue use.
