Batteries and Charging

Conditioning Battery Packs

Important • Cameo batteries must be cycled several times before
maximum capacity is realized. A battery is ”cycled” by fully charging
it, then fully discharging it through normal use.

Model UCN 72 Battery Charger

The Model UCN 72 Charger is a wall mounted single
charger with a universal 110 to 240, 50-60 Hz. VAC input. Multiple plug configurations comply with most interna­tional standards. Consult the factory or your Zebra autor­ized re-seller for appropriate part numbers.
Using the UCN 72 Charger
Plug the UCN 72 into the appropriate A.C. wall receptacle,
then insert the charge cable into the battery pack charger jack.
The charger LED will indicate the status of the charger as
follows:
• A steady light indicates the battery pack is undergoing a fast charge.
• A slow blinking light indicates the charger is in mainte­nance mode. The battery pack is ready for use.
• A rapidly blinking light indicates a problem with the bat­tery pack. The battery may have an internal short, or its charge monitoring circuitry may be malfunctioning. The battery pack should not be used any further.
Caution • Do not attempt to charge batteries with the UCN 72 Charger
while printing. Attempting to print while charging batteries can result in unreliable charging.
Important • Use of a charger not approved by Zebra for use with Cameo
series NiMH batteries could damage the battery pack or the printer and will void the warranty.
Required Regulatory Text for Argentina
Only certified adaptors with the following electrical characteristics
shall be used. The use of different adaptors could damage the device, present hazards to the user and declare the correspondent guaranty void.
UCN 72: Input ratings: 100-240 VAC 50/60Hz 200mA., Class 2
Output ratings: 10 VDC, 800 mA
