Main Battery Safety Information

♦ You must charge the battery before using it. For optimal battery life,

charge the battery within three months of receipt.

WARNING: The battery might explode if placed on a different charger.
♦ Take the battery out of the printer when storing the printer for a month

or longer.

♦ The optimal battery storage temperature is 50°F – 73°F (10°C – 23°C),

with a maximum of 104°F (40°C). The battery may lose its charge
capacity permanently if stored at temperatures less than 32°F (0°C) or
greater than 104°F (40°C). For longest life, the battery should be
stored in a cool, dry place.

♦ The recommended charging temperature is 68°F – 77°F (20°C – 25°C)
♦ Disposal Information – Do not throw in trash. Dispose to your local

regulations. The Rechargeable Battery Recycling Corporation

♦ Do not let the battery come into contact with metal objects.
♦ Do not use a battery with a cracked case.
♦ Do not let the battery get wet.
♦ The operating temperature for the battery is the same as for the

printer. See “Specifications.”

♦ It is normal for battery capacity to decrease up to 20% over the first

300 cycles of use.

♦ The battery should be charged before long-term storage or after the

battery has been exhausted from a printing session. Frequent
charging will actually prolong battery life and has no negative effects
such as memory issues.

♦ The printer uses battery power even when the printer is not printing.

Remove the printer’s battery and place on a charger when the printer
is not in use.

♦ Many factors affect your battery’s performance, including the quantity

of labels printed, intervals of batches printed, percentage of black per
label, and power management.
