♦ You must charge the battery before using it. For optimal battery life,
charge the battery within three months of receipt.
WARNING: The battery might explode if placed on a different charger.
♦ Take the battery out of the printer when storing the printer for a month
or longer.
♦ The optimal battery storage temperature is 50°F – 73°F (10°C – 23°C),
with a maximum of 104°F (40°C). The battery may lose its charge
capacity permanently if stored at temperatures less than 32°F (0°C) or
greater than 104°F (40°C). For longest life, the battery should be
stored in a cool, dry place.
♦ The recommended charging temperature is 68°F – 77°F (20°C – 25°C)
♦ Disposal Information – Do not throw in trash. Dispose to your local
regulations. The Rechargeable Battery Recycling Corporation
(RBRC  ) is a non-profit organization created to promote recycling of
rechargeable batteries. For more information about how to recycle
batteries in your area, visit www.rbrc.org. Batteries can also be
returned postage-paid to: ERC; 200 Monarch Lane Door #39;
Miamisburg, OH 45342.
CAUTION: Do Not disassemble, short-circuit, heat above 80°C, or
incinerate the battery. It may explode.
♦ Do not let the battery come into contact with metal objects.
♦ Do not use a battery with a cracked case.
♦ Do not let the battery get wet.
♦ The operating temperature for the battery is the same as for the
printer. See “Specifications.”
♦ It is normal for battery capacity to decrease up to 20% over the first
300 cycles of use.
♦ The battery should be charged before long-term storage or after the
battery has been exhausted from a printing session. Frequent
charging will actually prolong battery life and has no negative effects
such as memory issues.
♦ The printer uses battery power even when the printer is not printing.
Remove the printer’s battery and place on a charger when the printer
is not in use.
♦ Many factors affect your battery’s performance, including the quantity
of labels printed, intervals of batches printed, percentage of black per
label, and power management.
