To test if the battery is accepting charge:
Press <ON/OFF> switch and wait until all LED’s are off
Plug the AC power adapter into the printer. Press <ON>; the green LED is illuminated
and after about 20 seconds the LED should go off
If the amber LED is on, this will continue on through this test indicating that the
battery is accepting a charge and that the charge circuit is ok. At the end of a 180
minute charge cycle the LED will go off.
