Chapter 4 Battery Charge and Discharge
4.1 Battery
The printer uses a rechargeable battery with DC 6V 1500mAh.
4.2 Charging Method
Two charging methods are used for charging the battery: slow charging on
the printer and external quick charging.
1.Slow charging on printer
Connect an external adaptor of DC12V/600mA to the DC jack of the
printer, and the battery is installed on the printer. The charging time need
12-16 hours.
2.External quick charging
Take out the battery from the printer and put it on the optional CX-101
Quick Charger, connect the adaptor of DC12V/600mA to the Charger.
The charging time need 4 hours. There are 4 indicators on the CX-101
quick charger for indicating the status of the charging. More indicators
light, more power charged.
4.3 Discharging Method
When the printer can’t work correctly due to the battery low, there may be
some power in the battery. To reduce the remember effect of the battery and
keep the capacity of the battery, strongly recommend charging after
discharging sufficiently.
1.Discharging on printer
After power off, press and hold button ON more than 10 seconds until
the both of red and green indicator light, the printer enters into
discharging state and can’t do any operations. When the both of
indicators are off, the discharging finished.
2.External quick discharging
CX-101quick charger has a quick discharging function. Put the battery on
the charger, press the button located left and down corner. The battery
enters quick discharging and then enters quick charging automatically
after finished discharging.

4.4 Method of getting back the capacity
If the battery discharged not entirely (the printer can work or the battery
is discharged not sufficiently before charging) and charged not entirely (the
charging time is not enough) more times, the battery capacity will reduce due
to Ni-MH battery have some remembrance effect. To get back the capacity of
the battery, 2 or 3 times of charging and discharging entirely are necessary.
The method of discharging and charging the battery is same as descriptions of
section 4.2 and 4.3.
