4.4 Battery and Safety Information

The printer is powered by a 7.4V Li-Ion battery cartridge.

Charging time for the printer is approximately 3.0 hours.

Remove the battery from the printer before 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.

The recommended temperature for charging is 68°F (20°C) to 77°F (25°C).

Be sure to use a fully charged battery before long or battery intensive printing sessions.

Certain operations (for example, printing receipts with many bar codes and graphics)
drain the battery more quickly than others.

Dispose of battery according to local regulations. Do not throw in trash.

Do not disassemble, short circuit, heat above 80°C, or incinerate. The battery may
explode.
