1.2 Installing and Charging the Battery Cartridge
Note: One battery cartridge is included with the printer. Similar to a cordless phone battery,
the printer’s battery must be charged before using it.
Extech batteries must be cycled several times to achieve maximum capacity. To
cycle a battery, fully charge it and then allow full discharge through normal use in
the printer
