Part 1: Safety and Precautions
2.3 Lithium Ion Battery Handling
2.3.1 Initial precautions
The enclosed lithium ion battery must be installed in the printer and charged prior to
its use. To ensure best performance, the lithium ion battery is only charged to 40% of
its full capacity at the time of shipping. The battery must be fully charged once it is
unpacked.
The lithium ion battery serves both as a battery when the Universal adapter is not
connected and a manual paper feed guide. A NO BATTERY ERROR occurs ( ERROR
and POWER indicators light and beeper sounds 6 times) if a lithium ion battery is not
installed.
2.3.2 Storage precaution
The advantages of a lithium ion batteries compared to Nicd and NiMH batteries are
the low rate of self-discharge and the long lasting storage capacity. However, a
drawback is that lithium ion batteries are susceptible to over discharge. At high
temperatures, the rate of self-discharge is accelerated and the battery is rapidly over
discharged.
When storing the unused lithium ion battery, avoid storage in direct sunlight or near
heaters.
Also prevent storage at high temperature and make sure not to store the battery for
an extended period of time.
After connecting the AC adapter and turning on the printer, the installed
battery automatically begins charging. However, the battery will not be
charged while printing or cleaning. Charging temperature must be
between 5 and 35 degrees Celsius otherwise the battery will not be
charged.
The CHARGE indicator will light while the battery is charging and it will go
off when charging is finished.
