Operating Procedures
When handling the rechargeable battery, see the
Product Safety Guide.
Charging
This printer is equipped with a Li-ion battery. Use the AC adapter
designed specifically for the printer to charge the battery.
After purchasing this printer, be sure to charge the battery fully
before using it (the charging indicator light lights up in orange
while charging).
1
Plug the AC adapter cord
into the AC adapter
connector on the printer.
2
Plug the AC adapter plug
into an AC power outlet
(AC 110 V-120 V).
Charging of the Li-ion battery
automatically begins.
The charging indicator light lights up in
orange.
When charging has finished, the charging
indicator light goes off.
If the charging indicator light does not light up in
6
orange, the battery may not be correctly installed.
Operating Procedures
It takes approximately three hours for the battery
to recharge from a completely empty state to a
fully charged state (with the printer turned off).
Charge the battery at an ambient temperature of
5-40°C/41-104°F. (Otherwise, the battery cannot
be charged.)
If the temperature moves out of the above range
during the charging process, the charging stops
and the charging indicator light goes off.
When you use the printer with Bluetooth, we
recommend turning off the power during the
charging process. When the printer enters Bluetooth
sleep mode, the sleep mode continues to consume
battery power even after battery charging has
finished and the battery is fully charged.
3
When finished, disconnect the AC adapter.
The printer cannot be operated solely with the AC
adapter. The rechargeable Li-ion battery must be
installed.
To protect the circuitry, the battery cannot be
charged if the unit is in a location exposed to
extremely high or extremely low temperatures.
Do not wind the AC adapter cord around the adapter or
bend the cord, otherwise the cord may be damaged.

Operating Procedures
Storing the rechargeable Li-ion battery when the
printer is not in use
When storing the rechargeable Li-ion battery,
remove it from the printer, and then store the
battery in a location where it is not exposed to
high humidity or fluctuating temperatures (a
temperature between 15-25°C and 59-77°F and
humidity between 40% and 60% are
recommended).
*
Storing the rechargeable Li-ion battery in a location
exposed to high temperatures will cause it to
deteriorate. Do not store the battery in a location
exposed to direct sunlight or high temperatures (such
as inside a vehicle, near a heater, or on a heated
carpet).
If you do not intend to use the printer for a long
period of time, remove the rechargeable Li-ion
battery from the printer, and then store the battery
in a cool, dark place.
Avoid storing the battery when it is fully charged.
We recommend using the printer until the
charging indicator light flashes once, and then
storing the battery.
*Make sure the AC adapter is unplugged from the
printer before storing it.
*Do not allow metal to come in contact with the
terminals. The battery may be damaged if the
8
terminals are short-circuited.
· To prevent deterioration due to over-discharging
of the battery, charge it once every six months
during storage, and use it until the charging
indicator light flashes once.
