Charging the Battery Pack
1
Turn the power switch to the OFF (0) position.
2
Connect the AC adapter to the printer. The Power LED will blink once every
second while the battery is charging. It takes about 10 hours to completely
recharge the battery. When the battery is fully charged, the Power LED stops
blinking and turns off.
3
Disconnect the AC adapter.
Low Printer Battery Indication
When the Power LED blinks once every 1/2 second and the printer goes into off
line mode, connect the AC adapter. If there is data left in the memory buffer when
this happens, to preserve the data, connect the AC adapter as quickly as possible
and push the ONLINE button.
Efficient Use of Printer Battery
Battery efficiency decreases if the battery is recharged more than necessary.
Confirm whether the Power LED is blinking and battery charge is low before
recharging the battery.
When using the rechargeable battery, turn off the power switch after use. Leaving
the power switch on will consume battery power and eventually run the battery
down.
When the AC adapter is connected, please note that the battery gradually
recharges whether or not the printer is on or off. It takes about 15 hours to charge
the battery with the power on. Battery charging is temporarily disrupted while the
printer is printing and resumes automatically when printing is completed. If the
printer is not in use, move the power switch to the OFF position and then unplug
the AC adapter.
Note:
Always charge the battery in a location that is 5 to 40 °C (41 to
104 °F) to avoid degradation of the battery pack.
