Connecting the Power
The label maker is powered by a rechargeable, lithium-ion

automatically turns off after two minutes of inactivity.
Remove the battery pack if the label maker will not
be used for a long period of time.
Inserting the Battery Pack
The battery pack included with your label maker comes
partially charged. For best performance, fully charge the
battery as soon as possible.
