Main Battery Safety Information
To order a replacement battery, see Appendix A, “Sp ecifications & Accessories” for more information.
You must charge the battery before usi ng it. For optimal battery life, charge th e battery
within three months of receipt.
Warning: The battery must be charged using only the chargers listed in this manual; the
battery might explode if p laced on a different charger. See Appendix A, “Specifications and Accessories,” for more in formation.
Take the battery out of the printer when storing the printer for a month or longer. The optimal battery storage temperature is 50°F to 73°F (10°C to 23°C), with a maximum of
104°F (40°C). The battery may permanently lose its charg e capacity if stored at temperatures less than 32°F (0°C) or greater than 104°F (40°C). For longest life, the battery should be stored in a cool, dry place.
The operating temperature for the battery is the same as for the printer. See Appendix A,
“Specifications and Accessories,” for more in formation.
The recommended charging temperat ure is 68°F to 77°F (20°C to 25°C) Recycle Information – Do not thro w in the trash. Recycle accordin g to your local regulations.
The Rechargeable Battery Recycling Corpo ration (RBRC
) is a non-profit organization
created to promote recycling of rechargeab le batteries. For more information about how to recycle batteries in your area, visit www.rbrc.org. Batteries can also be returned postage­pa

Do not let the battery come into contact with metal objects. Do not use a battery with a cracked case. Do not get the battery wet. It is normal for battery capacit y to decrease up to 20% over the first 300 cycles of use. The battery should be charge d before long-term storage or after the ba ttery has been
exhausted from a printing session. Frequent charging actually prolongs battery life and has no negative effects su ch as memory loss.
The printer uses battery power even when it is not printing. Charge the battery using only
the chargers listed in this manual; th e battery might explode if placed on a different charger. See Appendix A, “Specifications and Accessorie s,” for more information.
Many factors affect your battery’s performa nce, including the quantity of labels printed,
percentage of black per label, and power management.

allows you to apply the lab el immediately. It is only for labels. When using the on-deman d sensor, you can press the trigge r to print a label or the next label prints aut omatically when the previous one is removed.
Non-Peel mode does not remo ve the backing paper. It is fo r tags and labels printed in a
continuous strip.
