4.4 Battery and Safety Information

The printer is powered by a 7.4V Li-Ion battery cartridge.

Charging time in the printer is approximately 3.0 hours.

Take the battery out of printer if storing the printer for long periods of time.

The battery storage temperature is 40°F to 104°F (4°C to 40°C). Do not store a fully
charged battery at temperatures greater than 104°F (40°C) for long periods of time –
the battery may permanently lose charge capacity.

Be sure to use a fully charged battery before long or battery intensive printing
sessions. Certain operations (for example, printing receipts with a lot of bar codes and
graphics) drain the battery more quickly than others.

Dispose according to your local regulations. Do not throw in trash.
Do not disassemble, short circuit, heat above 80°C, or incinerate: the battery may
