Notes about the rechargeable battery:
■ Before initial use, or use after a long period of time (about 6 months), recharge CPA for about three (3) hours.
When the display shows "WEAK NI-CD BATTERY" several sheets of check can be printed but recharge CPA soon.
When the display shows "RECHARGE NI-CD BATTERY" CPA will not print. Recharge CPA soon.
■ When the display shows "INSERT AC ADAPTOR", the keys will not
function. Recharge CPA soon.
■ Repetitive short-term recharging and discharging makes the battery life
shorter than usual and/or the remaining battery power may be shown incorrectly. To solve this, continue operating CPA until the display shows
"WEAK NI-CD BATTERY" then recharge it. For about 30 minutes after the
display shows "WEAK NI-CD BATTERY", CPA refreshes the battery automatically, during it, recharging the battery is not possible. Recharge CPA for about three (3) hours including the above refreshing time period.
The battery drains excessively when used under unusually high or low
temperature. Also, when CPA is left in an automobile for a long period of time the battery will weaken and the battery life shortens. Use CPA within an appropriate temperature range of 5°C (4rF) to 35°C (95°F).
■ If CPA remains unused for several months or more, the remaining battery
power shows incorrectly. The battery has become inactive. Continue operating CPA until the display shows "WEAK NI-CD BATTERY". Recharge
the battery for about three (3) hours.
When you find the printable number of checks reduced after repetitive
recharging, the battery life is exhausted. Purchase a new battery pack (KX-RC3D) from your dealer.
