S4000T User’s Guide Rev 1.2 6
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.
Note: Refer to Figure 2 below to install the battery pack in the printer.
Unlock the battery door by sliding the battery door locking tab up.
Open the battery door.
Insert the battery as shown. The battery side with two contact terminals should be facing
down to make contact with the two spring probes inside the battery compartment.
Close the battery door.
Lock the battery door by sliding the battery door locking tab down.
FIGURE 2: INSTALLING THE BATTERY CARTRIDGE
Note: If paper door does not open easily, tap the printer against the palm of your hand near the
paper door hinge.
Note: Ensure that battery side with 2 contact terminals is facing down to make contact with the
spring probes inside the battery compartment
1.2.2 Charging the Battery
Plug battery charger adaptor output cable into battery charger connector as shown in Figure 2.
Plug battery charger adaptor into the appropriate AC line voltage socket.
S4000T User’s Guide Rev 1.2 7
The Yellow/Amber charging LED will illuminate indicating that the battery is being charged.
The battery will be fast charged and after about 180 minutes the LED will turn off.
To remove the battery cartridge, open the battery door and tip the battery out of the printer.
Note: To ensure a full charge do not operate the printer while charging.
Note: The wall mounted charger is a Class II equipment. Multiple plug configurations comply
with most international standards. The wall mounted charger is not supplied with plugs for use in
Korea
Model S4000T
Input Voltage/Current 100-240 VAC/0.4A
Input Frequency 47-63 Hz
Output Voltage/Current 10VDC/1.32A
Do not use a charger not approved by Extech for use with the S4000T. Use of
an unapproved charger could damage the battery pack or the printer and will
void the warranty.
The battery terminals are well recessed inside the printer. Do not allow them
to contact conductive material since this may create a short circuit which
could cause injury or start a fire.
When using the wall mounted charger ensure the socket outlet is close to the
printer and easily accessible during the battery recharging process. Either
switch the socket off (if supplied with a socket switch) or pull out the charger
from the socket or disconnect the plug from the printer in the event of any
problems.
