3.2.2 Battery Charger
Use only a Microcom-approved battery charger. Battery charging time is typically less than
6 hours. To charge the battery, set the printer power switch to the CHARGE (OFF) position,
plug the charger output cord into the CHARGE PORT of the printer, then plug the charger
AC power cord into a suitable AC outlet. The CHARGE PORT is located next to the printer
power switch. If the power switch is not in the CHARGE (OFF) position when the charger is
connected to the printer, the printer will power down but the battery will not be charged. If
this occurs, set the power switch to the CHARGE (OFF) position to begin charging the
battery.
The solid green light indicates the level charge in the battery. The flashing light means the
battery is charging.
