Preventive Maintenance
Extending Battery Life
• Avoid exposing the battery to direct sunlight or tempera-
tures over 104° F (40° C).
• Always use a Zebra charger designed specifically for
Lithium-Ion batteries. Use of any other kind of charger
may damage the battery.
• Use the correct media for your printing requirements. An
authorized Zebra re-seller can help you determine the
optimum media for your application.
• If you print the same text or graphic on every label, con-
sider using a preprinted label.
• Choose the correct print darkness, and print speed for
your media.
• Use software handshaking (XON/XOFF) whenever pos-
sible.
• If your printer has the optional LCD display, use the dis-
play backlight only when necessary. Turn it off whenever
it is not needed.
• Remove the battery from the printer if it won’t be used for
a day or more and you’re not performing a maintenance
charge.
• Consider purchasing an extra battery.
• Remember that any rechargeable battery will lose its
ability to maintain a charge over time. It can only be
recharged a finite number of times before it must be
replaced. Always dispose of used batteries properly.
Refer to Appendix D for more information on proper bat-
tery disposal.
• Don’t print while the LI 72 Wall Charger is plugged into
the unit. Unreliable battery charging can result.
