Tips on Using the
Rechargeable Li-ion Battery
Charge the rechargeable Li-ion battery
before use. Do not use it before it is
charged.
Darker prints discharge the rechargeable
Li-ion battery faster than lighter prints.
Adjust the print density setting in the
printer driver's dialogue box or in the
RJ Utility (see Print Density uu page 33).
The rechargeable Li-ion battery charging
can take place in 0~40 °C (32~104 °F)
environments. Charge the rechargeable
Li-ion battery in an environment in this
temperature range. If the surrounding
temperature is out of this range, the
rechargeable Li-ion battery will not be
charged, and the battery indicator will
remain lit.
If the printer is used when both the
rechargeable Li-ion battery is installed
and the AC adapter or Car adapter is
connected, the battery indicator may
turn off and charging may stop even if the
rechargeable Li-ion battery has not been
fully charged.
When charging the rechargeable Li-ion
battery while the Car adapter is connected,
the amount of voltage required to fully
charge the rechargeable Li-ion battery
may not be supplied by the DC power
outlet. When 360 minutes (max.) have
passed since charging started, the battery
indicator turns off and charging stops even
if the rechargeable Li-ion battery has not
been fully charged.
