Charging the Battery
To charge the battery, you must first remove the red,
battery isolator labels.
If the battery is low when the printer “wakes up,” the
printer sounds three short beeps. Plug the AC Adapter
into an appropriate power source. The Charge LED
turns red when charging and turns green when fully
charged. (For more information on the Charge LED, see
Using Buttons, LEDs, and Audio Indicators on page 9 .)
A complete charge takes approximately 2 to 4 hours.
If your printer is installed with external charge
capabilities, you can also charge your printer using
Datamax-O’Neil approved accessories. For more
information, see Using External Charging on page 13 .
Determining Battery Condition
To determine the battery’s condition, print a self-test.
For more information, see Printing a Self-Test on
page 7 . The battery voltage varies between 6.2 and 8.4
volts.
Caution: To obtain full battery capacity, a new battery
must cycle through two to three charges. To restart a
charge, unplug the power cord. Wait 30 seconds, then
replug the power cord.
Caution: There is a risk of explosion if the battery is
replaced by an incorrect type. Dispose of used
batteries according to the instructions.
