NFORMATION
:
The printer is powered by a 7.4V Li-Ion battery cartridge.
Charging time in the printer is approximately 3.0 hours.
Take the battery out of printer if storing the printer for long periods of time.
The battery storage temperature is 40°F to 104°F (4°C to 40°C). Do not store
a fully charged battery at temperatures greater than 104°F (40°C) for long
periods of time – the battery may permanently lose charge capacity.
Be sure to use a fully charged battery before long or battery intensive
printing sessions. Certain operations (for example, printing receipts with a
lot of bar codes and graphics) drain the battery more quickly than others.
Dispose according to your local regulations. Do not throw in trash.
Caution: Do not disassemble, short circuit, heat above 80°C, or
incinerate. The battery may explode.
The recommended temperature for charging is between 68°F (20°C) to
77°F (25°C).
