jam, or there is no media.
• An error occurs such as a paper jam, a print error, or the
printer is out of range.
Understanding the Backlight
The screen backlight on the PB22/PB32 behaves the same way as a
screen saver on your PC. After a set amount of time elapses without
any user interaction, the backlight goes off. The screen backlight
turns on when:
• the printer begins printing.
6 PB22/PB32 Mobile Label and Receipt Printer User’s Guide
Chapter 1 — Using the PB22/PB32 Mobile Label and Receipt Printer
• you press a button.
• you connect the printer to external power.
• you are communicating with or sending data to the printer.
You can change the amount of time to have elapse before the
backlight turns off using the Setup menu. Options for backlight are
always off, always on, 5 seconds, 10 seconds, 20 seconds, 30 seconds,
or 60 seconds.
Using the Batteries
The PB22/PB32 uses a rechargeable 2250 mAh lithium-ion battery
(Model AB27) for power. You must fully charge the battery before you
can use the PB22/PB32. A fully charged battery can last up to one
week without needing to be recharged when the printer is in Standby
mode.
Use Intermec Model AB27 battery only. Use of another battery
may present a risk of fire or explosion.
The Model AB27 battery may present a fire or chemical burn
hazard if mistreated. Do not disassemble, heat above 100°C
(212°F), or incinerate.
Dispose of used batteries promptly. Keep away from children.
Installing the Battery
Make sure you fully charge the battery before you use your PB22/
PB32. You can charge the battery before or after you install them into
the PB22/PB32.
To install the battery
1 Lay the PB22/PB32 upside down on a flat surface.

Chapter 1 — Using the PB22/PB32 Mobile Label and Receipt Printer
Charging the Batteries
There are two ways to charge the PB22/PB32 battery:
• Connect AC power to the printer using a 12 VDC power supply
and charge the battery while it is in the PB22/PB32.
• Charge the battery in the AC18 4-bay battery charger. It takes
approximately 4 hours to charge your batteries using the 4-bay
battery charger.
For information on charging your battery in the 4-bay battery
charger, see the AC18 4-Bay Battery Charger Instructions
(P/N 943-128-xxx).
It takes approximately 3 hours to charge the battery while it is
installed in the PB22/PB32 printer. To charge the battery inside the
PB22/PB32, you need:
• an Intermec 12 VDC power supply (Model AE19).
• an AC power cord.
To charge the battery inside the PB22/PB32
1 Install the battery in the PB22/PB32. For help, see the previous
section, “Installing the Battery” on page 7.
2 Connect the power supply to the DC power connector on the
printer.
3 Connect one end of the power cord to the power supply and then
plug the other end into an AC outlet.
Understanding the Battery Icons
The easiest way to tell the status of your battery is to look at the
battery icons on the control panel of the PB22/PB32.

Extending Battery Life
Here are some tips for extending the overall life of your battery:
• Never expose the battery to direct sunlight or temperatures over
50°C (122°F).
• Only charge the battery inside the PB22/PB32 using a power
supply or in the 4-bay battery charger (Model AC18).
• Do not set the backlight to always on. The always on setting
disabled automatic power saving modes.
Here are some tips for extending the life of your battery between
charges:
• Press the Standby button to put the printer in Standby mode.
• Remove the battery from the printer if you will not be using it for
three days or more.
• Do not operate the PB22/PB32 in extremely cold temperatures,
the allowable operating cold temperature is -20°C (-4°F). Using
the PB22/PB32 in temperatures below freezing reduces the overall
battery life.
Remember that any rechargeable battery loses its ability to maintain a
charge over time. You can only recharge it a finite number of times
before you must replace it.
