Stopping Rechargeable Li-ion Battery Charging

Notes on Using the Rechargeable Li-ion Battery

 High density (dark) printing discharges the battery faster than low density

printing. You can adjust the print density setting in the Printer Setting Tool (see the User's Guide).

 The battery charging must take place between 5 and 35°C environments,

otherwise the battery will not be charged. If the charging stops because the environment temperature is too low or too high, place your printer in an environment with a temperature between 5 and 35°C and try charging again.

 If you use your printer when both the battery is installed and the

AC adapter or car adapter is connected, charging may stop even if the battery is not fully charged.

Rechargeable Li-ion Battery Characteristics

To ensure the highest performance and longest life from the battery:

 Do not use or store the battery in a location exposed to extreme high or low

temperatures as it may deteriorate more quickly.

 Remove the battery when storing your printer for long periods of time.  Store batteries with less than a 50% charge in a cool dry place out of direct

sunlight.

 Recharge the battery every six months if it is stored for long periods of

time.

 It is normal and safe for the printer to become warm while charging.

Disconnect the charger and stop using the printer if it becomes hot to the touch.
