Operating Instructions
Flashing Orange
Warning! The batteries need immediate charging. The MWS beeps
continuously to alert you of this condition. (Early models have red lights
instead of orange).
Flashing Yellow
Caution! Finish printing the batch, then recharge the MWS. The batteries
are getting low.
Flashing Green
Go! The batteries are charged to approximately 75% or better capacity.
If the CHARGE light does not turn on, make sure the charger is properly connected to the
batteries and the charger has AC power.
If the READY light does not turn on after 18 hours, the batteries are deeply discharged. Call
Technical Support or replace the batteries. If replacing batteries, you must use the same
type of battery from the same manufacturer
(as the ones provided with the MWS). Make
sure the batteries are NRTL-recognized. BOTH batteries MUST be replaced at the same
time to maintain capacity match.

The following information is approximate and should be used for reference
. Many factors
affect an individual battery’s performance:
the presence of auxiliary devices
the printing rate (including printhead contrast and number of labels per day)
the complexity of your printed formats
the environment (temperature and humidity in your facility or DC).
“Typical conditions” are defined as:
one Monarch printer printing standard compliance 4x6 labels (5-10 minutes of actual printing
per hour), no auxiliary devices attached to the MWS, and standard environmental conditions
(no excessive heat or humidity).
When using the 24VDC or Symbol 24VDC MWS under typical conditions, the batteries may
last up to 50 to 100 hours before recharging.
When using the AC Power Inverter or 24VDC/115VAC MWS under typical conditions, the
batteries may last up to 24 hours before recharging.
When you notice the batteries need to be charged more frequently, order replacement
batteries. BOTH batteries MUST be replaced at the same time to maintain capacity
match.
For example, if you had 60 hours of use between charges and now have 30 hours
of use between charges, replace the batteries.
Note:
The performance of your batteries varies depending on the number of printers and/or
auxiliary devices, such as a scanner or terminal, attached to the MWS.
Frequent charging of the batteries is recommended.
