Battery charging error. You may need to replace the
battery.
External power connected and there is no battery in the
printer.
Here are some tips for extending the overall life of your battery:
• Never expose the battery to direct sunlight or temperatures
over 40°C (104°F).
• Only charge the battery inside the PB50 using a power supply
or in the 4-bay battery charger (Model AC18).
• Do not set the backlight to always on. The always on setting
disabled automatic power saving modes.
Here are some tips for extending the life of your battery between
charges:
• Press the Standby button to put the printer in Standby mode.
• Remove the battery from the printer if you will not be using it
for three days or more.
• Do not operate the PB50 in extremely cold temperatures.
Using the PB50 in temperatures below freezing reduces the
overall battery life.
Remember that any rechargeable battery loses its ability to
maintain a charge over time. You can only recharge it a finite
number of times before you must replace it.
