  • Page 13: Recharging The Battery Pack

    Insert the Battery Charger to the charge connector of the printer or the bat- tery holder. Cautions Concerning Batteries u General Battery Characteristics ● The battery is a consumable and its performance over time will gradually decrease. ● While not in use, the battery will slowly discharge itself. ● Fully charge the battery before using the printer. ● To extend battery life, it is recommended to use a smart energy management solution such as the Auto Power Down Mode available on all Star Micronics Portable Printers. ● When used at low temperatures, battery performance will temporarily decline. Be sure to have a fully-charged spare battery standing by if the printer will operate in a cold environment. u Battery Charging ● Charge the battery in an environment with a temperature ranging from 0 °C to 40 °C. ● The time required to charge the battery depends on the voltage or ambient tempera- tures. The battery requires four hours of charging under normal conditions.
