1.2.2 Information regarding battery use

- Please note that the new NiMH battery reaches maximum performance
levels only after having been completely discharged and recharged at least
two or three times.
- Never use battery rechargers and/or batteries that are damaged or worn.
- Battery life varies greatly depending, for example, on print density and the
text to be printed.
- Recharge times vary depending on depletion levels, type of battery and
battery recharger used. Batteries may be recharged and discharged
hundreds of times, but they do wear out over time. When battery life (both
print and stand-by) is noticeably shorter than usual, it is time to buy a new
battery.
- Only utilize batteries that conform to specifications and only recharge them
using battery rechargers approved by DCA Intertle BV.
- When the battery recharger is not in use, unplug it from the electrical
mains. If not used, even a completely-charged battery will automatically
discharge over time.
- NiMH batteries last longer if you remember to completely discharge them
every so often.
- Extreme temperatures can affect battery charge levels—leave them to
cool or warm as required.

1.2.3 Replacing batteries

Instead of the rechargeable battery pack supplied with the printer, 5 AA
ALKALINE penlight batteries may be used(5)(6).
(5) Note: if batteries other than those supplied with the printer are used, the
Battery parameter in setup must modified and the settings changed to Alkaline
if Alkaline batteries are used, or the to closest reference value for other types of
batteries (see sec. 1.3).
(6) Note: if Alkaline batteries are used it doesn't make the recharge.
