Battery and Safety Information

The printer is powered by a 7.4V Lithium Ion (LiIon) battery. There are no memory effects with LiIon batteries and reconditioning is not required. Lithium ion batteries do not have to be completely drained before charging.

♦ Charging time is approximately 1.5 to 3 hours. ♦ Take the battery out of the printer when storing the

printer for long periods of time.

♦ The battery storage temperature is 40° F to 104°F

°C to 40°C). Do not store a fully charged battery

at temperatures greater than 104 periods of time. The battery may permanently lose charge capacity.

♦ Be sure to use a fully charged battery before long

or battery-intensive printing sessions. Certain operations (for example, printing receipts with a lot of bar codes and graphics) drain the battery more quickly than others.
