Battery Safety

The Battery Packs used on Zebra Mobile Printers contain a

great deal of energy and can cause personal injury or start a
fire if used improperly or carelessly. Please observe the fol-
lowing safety practices:

Avoid accidental short circuiting of any battery. Allowing

battery terminals to contact conductive material will create

a short circuit which could cause burns and other injuries or

could start a fire.

Batteries can explode or catch fire if improperly charged

or exposed to high temperatures or fire.
Do not disassemble, crush or expose batteries to water.
CAUTION: Use of any charger not approved specifically by

Zebra for use with its batteries could cause damage to the

battery pack or the printer and will void the warranty.

Installing the Battery

NOTE: Batteries are shipped uncharged. Remove protective shrink-

wrap and labels from new battery packs prior to use.

1. Rotate the Belt Clip to allow access to the Battery com-

partment.

2. Insert the battery into the printer as shown in Figure 2,
3. Rock the Battery into the printer as shown until it locks in

place.

When the battery is first installed, the Control Panel indica-

tors may briefly turn on and then go off, indicating the battery
is not fully charged (see “Charging the Battery” below and
“Operator Controls.”)
