9. Turn the printer over, plug it back into the AC power adapter, and charge the new battery in the printer for
a minimum of 9 hours before use (fast charging occurs only when the printer is turned off).
Symptoms Indicating that the NiMH Rechargeable Battery Requires Replacement
1. A steady yellow Status Light on the printer, even after charging it for the recommended 9 hours.
2. Loss of battery capacity, indicated by a shorter interval between charges.
3. The printer Power LED does not come on when the printer is turned on. The power adapter cannot supply
sufficient power for printing so the battery needs to be partially charged before printing is possible.
