the disposal or recycling of batteries. Though the lithium-ion rechargeable battery is mercury-free, it
might require recycling or proper disposal at end-of-life. See

• Battery might explode if incorrectly replaced or disposed of in fire. Do not short-circuit.
• To purchase a replacement battery, contact your local dealer or HP sales office. See HP supplies and

• Charge the battery for 4 hours before using the battery for the first time. For subsequent charges, it
takes approximately 2 hours to fully charge the battery.

and need to be replaced.
• The Power light is green when the battery is 41-100% charged, amber when 10-40% charged, and
red when less than 10% charged. Charge the battery when the Power light turns amber. If it turns red,
charge the battery as soon as possible. The battery status is also displayed on the Printer Status tab in
