Using the Rechargeable Li-ion Battery (PA-BT-4000LI)

• If the P-touch labeling system is turned on with the rechargeable Li-ion battery installed and the AC
adapter connected to an AC power outlet, the battery will be recharged. However, when the P-touch
labeling system 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 labeling system is
used. We recommend leaving the P-touch labeling system turned off while charging the battery.
• Although the charging stops if the P-touch labeling system 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

To stop the battery charging, disconnect the AC adapter.
Notes on Using the Rechargeable Li-ion Battery
24
Before use, fully charge the battery. Do not use it until it is fully charged.
The battery charging must take place in environments between 32°F and 104°F (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 labeling system with a temperature
between 32°F and 104°F (0°C and 40°C) and try charging again.
If the P-touch labeling system 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
24
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 labeling system 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 labeling system while the Li-ion battery is charging, that part of the
P-touch labeling system may feel warm. This is normal, and the P-touch labeling system may be used
safely. However, if the P-touch labeling system becomes extremely hot, discontinue use.
