3.4 Battery

3.4.1 Operation Without a Battery Pack

If your printer has dip switches then the sliding switch in the dip switch well must be set so the actuator is adjacent to the dip
switches. If your printer does not have dip switches, and has been specified to operate without a battery, then no configuration is
necessary. The printer power must be off before actuating any of the switches in the dip switch well. If your printer does not
have dip switches, and has not been specified to operate without a battery, then it must be operated with a battery pack.

Actuator adjacent to dip switches 3.4.2 Operation With a Battery

Pack

If your printer has dip s witches then the sliding switch in the dip switch well must be positioned away from the dip switches. The
printer power must be off before actuating any of the switches in the dip switch well. If your printer does not have dip switches
then no configuration is necessary to operate with a battery.

3.4.3 Charging procedure

The printer is equipped with a lithium-ion battery pack. Although the battery pack is charged when they are shipped from the
factory, your unit may have discharged. Please recharge the pack with the appropriate AC adapter before using the printer. Turn
the printer off and plug the adapter into an AC outlet and connect the cable to the printer. The battery pack takes 3 hours to
become fully charged.

NOTES:

 Make sure you turn off the power switch before charging the battery pack.
 Do not charge the pack longer than 24 hours, or the batteries may deteriorate.
 The printer can be used immediately after the adapter is connected.
 The room temperature should be between 5 and 40

°C during charging.

 With the Bluetooth or WiFi options, the true charge state of the battery can only

be determined with the printer’s power turned off.
