Battery Care
8.2.1 Usage
New batteries are shipped in an “uncharged” state and must be charged for at least 4 hours
prior to the first use. Maximum battery capacity is not reached until after completing a
minimum of three complete charge and discharge cycles.
When the battery is charging and not fully charged, the Battery lamp on the Control Panel
will illuminate.
The printer may be used while the battery is charging, but this will extend the time required
to fully charge the battery.
The battery will not be charged when the printer's power is off.
8.2.2 Environment
The recommended ambient temperature for charging is 68-77° Fahrenheit (20-25°
Centigrade).
Take the battery out of the printer when storing the printer for long periods of time. The
battery storage temperature is 40-104° Fahrenheit (4-40° Centigrade). Do not store a
fully charged battery at temperatures above this range for long periods of time or the
battery may permanently lose charge capacity.
8.2.3 Disposal
Caution:
Caution: Risk of explosion if battery is replaced by incorrect type. Dispose of used batteries
according to the instructions.
Do not disassemble, short circuit, heat above 80°C, or incinerate the battery. The battery
may explode.
Only dispose of used batteries according to your local regulations.
If you do not know your local regulations, the Rechargeable Battery
Recycling Corporation (RBRC) is a non-profit organization created to
promote recycling of rechargeable batteries. For more information visit
