on a wall. When installing the charging cradle on a wall, be sure to check the orientation so that the top and bottom sides of the cradle are set as illustrated orientation.

Note the following when you use the printer being set on the charging cradle mounted on a wall.

• When installing the charging cradle mounted on a wall, install it vertically on a at wall that will not

receive impact. If the charging cradle or the printer falls because of impact, it could cause an injury.

• Allow 150 mm or wider space around the charging cradle.

• To avoid injuries that may be caused by falling, attach or detach the printer with both hands.

• To prevent damage to the AC adapter, wire cables by routing them through the groove on the rear of the

charging cradle before setting the printer on a wall

Note

• Prepare the screws for you to fasten the charging cradle to a wall.

• The screws to be used for xing the charging cradle to the wall should have both shear strength and withdrawal

strength to withstand loads of 15 Kgf (147 N) or more. You need 4 screws to install a 1Bay charging cradle, and

16 screws to install a 4Bay charging cradle (the diameter of a screw: 4.5 mm (0.2”) or thicker).

• We assume no responsibility for any falling of the product that may be caused by insufcient installation strength or

a customer’s carelessness or inattention.

About Batteries

• The battery pack (the lithium ion battery pack) has a life expectancy. Even if the battery is fully charged, operation time gradually becomes shorter. It is the battery’s characteristics, not an error or problem. We recommend that you replace the battery after approximately 300 charge cycles or 3 years from the date of rst use, whichever is earlier.

• The charging time (about 3 hours) is for reference. It depends on temperature around the battery or its conditions.

• If you notice any dents or cracks on the battery pack crust caused by strong impacts or shocks, stop using the

battery pack immediately and replace it with a new one. Continued use under these conditions may lead to abnormal overheating or re.

• Charge the batteries in a place of 5 to 35°C (41 to 95 °F). Charging in high or low temperature may cause battery deterioration.

• If the printer is too hot or too cold, keep the battery in a place of 5 to 35°C (41 to 95 °F) for about 1 hour then charge

the battery. Charging between 10 and 30°C (50 to 86°F) is recommended.

• When the battery temperature becomes higher or lower than the specied temperatures, the printer enters the standby mode for charging and stops charging.

• If the battery has not been charged for a long period of time, it may become unusable. Charge the battery regularly.

• Do not keep the battery fully charged. The battery may become deteriorated.

• Do not keep the battery in high temperature. The battery may become deteriorated.

• For how to use the battery charger, refer to the manual of the battery charger.

About Head Check Function

Head check is the function to check broken element of the print head automatically. If

an error occurs, printing stops. Head check is a reference for checking broken element

of the print head. This function does not guarantee barcode readability. Check barcode

readability regularly. (Failure to print does not necessarily correspond to functioning of

the head check.) Check the label printed after head error is generated by scanning the

printed barcode.
