Caution
The Battery Pack
u
Danger: Please take careful note of the following:
•
Never dispose of a battery pack in fire.
•
Please do not short the terminals.
•
Please do not take apart or alter the unit.
•
Do not try to recharge the battery pack with any recharger other than this one.
•
When carrying only the battery be sure to protect it by putting it in its case.
u
Please be careful of the following points:
•
Do not expose the battery pack to a powerful shock or drop it.
•
Avoid recharging a fully charged battery. (When not using the unit for an extended
period of time remove from the recharger, do your best to recharge the battery
pack the day before use.)
•
If you are not going to use the battery for a long time store after having completely
used the charge in the battery pack.
After recharging and use, the battery pack will be hot. This is normal and not an
indication of damage.
[
Battery Packs last for a limited time.
[
When the charged battery pack only performs for a short time, when you insert the
pack in the charger, but it will not charge up, or when the printer starts to make errors,
this indicates that the battery pack has come to the end of its life. At that time
please purchase a new rechargeable battery pack.
[
The rechargeable battery pack makes use of a chemical reaction. You can get
more out of your battery pack if you follow the advice below:
1. Please charge the battery pack in a room where the temperature is between 10 ˚C and
35 ˚C. If the battery pack is recharged in a room that is too cold, the chemical
reaction will slow down, and the battery pack will deteriorate. In a room that is too
hot, the battery pack cannot fully recharge.
2. Please store the battery pack in a dry place where the temperature will not get
very high. If the battery pack is stored in a hot place, its life will shorten and will
be prone to electrical discharge.
3. Batteries discharge their electricity if left in storage for a long time, store the
battery after it has used its charge, and recharge it the day before you plan to use it.
When the battery pack is not in use or when you want to carry it somewhere,
remove it from the printer and put it in its special protective cover.
[
If the contacts of the battery pack accumulate dirt, please wipe the battery pack
with a soft clean towel.
