PRINTPAD SERIES OF PRINTERS USER'S GUIDE
Using Batteries
The printer ships with two batteries installed. Before
operating the printer, remove the two red, isolator
labels either by gently pulling the labels out, or by
lifting the batteries up.
Charging Batteries
1. Plug the power supply connector into the printer's
power port as follows:

If you are using a standard PrintPAD series
printer, the power port is located next to the
paper cavity (Figure 1).

If you are using a PrintPAD-9000 printer, the
power port is located on the side of the printer's
case and is accessible when the printer's lid is
closed (Figure 2).
2. Plug the AC adapter in an appropriate power source.
The charge LED turns red when charging and turns
green when fully charged. If you are using the
PrintPAD-9000 printer, the charge LED is visible when
the printer's lid is closed. A complete charge takes
approximately 6 hours.
You can determine the relative battery capacity by
printing a self-test. For more information, see
Printing a
Self-Test on page 7 . On the printout, “Battery Volt”
varies between 6.8 and 8.4 volts.
