Cautions for Use and Storage of the Battery
CAUTION

Do not pull or push the battery hook forcefully.

Keep the battery terminals clean, so that no dirt or foreign material becomes attached.

When cleaning the battery, do not use any solvents, such as alcohol, benzine, or thinner. Doing so
may deform or damage the plastic sections. Wipe off any dirt using a dry cloth.

The battery slowly loses power while it is not being used.

When charging the battery, charge it in an environment that is between 10°C and 30°C.

To prevent deterioration in the battery performance, avoid direct sunlight, high temperatures, and
high humidity, and store it in a cool location (around 20°C).

If storing it for a long period of time, remove it from the printer or battery charger. Also, to prevent
deterioration in its performance, we recommend that you charge it approximately once per year.
