Battery and Safety Information

♦You must charge a battery before using it. For optimal battery life, charge the battery within three months of receipt.

WARNING: Use only the Monarch® 9496™ charger/adapter designed for Lithium-ion batteries when charging. The battery might explode if used with a different charger. Refer to the Operating Instructions provided with the charger/adapter for more information.

♦The optimal battery storage temperature is -4°F - 104°F

(-20°C - 40°C). For more information about storage temperatures, see Appendix A, “Specifications.” The battery may lose its charge capacity permanently if stored at temperatures less than -4°F (-20°C) or greater than 104°F (40°C). For longest life, the battery should be stored in a cool, dry place.

♦Prolonged storage or operation of a fully-charged battery above 104°F (40°C) may cause a permanent battery capacity loss of up to 10%.

♦The recommended temperature for charging is 32°F - 104°F (0°C - 40°C)

♦Charging time is approximately 1 to 3 hours.

♦Recycling Information - Do not throw in trash. Recycle to your local regulations. The Rechargeable Battery Recycling Corporation (RBRC®) is a non-profit organization created to promote recycling of rechargeable batteries. For more information about how to recycle batteries in your area, visit www.rbrc.org. Batteries can also be returned postage-paid to: ERC; 200 Monarch Lane Door #39; Miamisburg, OH 45342.

Caution: Do not disassemble, short-circuit, heat above 122°F (50°C), or incinerate the battery. It may explode.

♦The battery should be charged immediately for either long-term storage or after the battery has been exhausted from a printing session. Frequent charging prolongs battery life and has no negative effects, such as memory loss.

♦Do not let the battery get wet or come into contact with metal objects.

♦Do not use a battery with a cracked case.

♦It is normal for battery capacity to decrease up to 20% over the first 400 - 600 cycles of use.

♦The printer uses battery power even when the printer is not printing. Remove the printer's battery when the printer is not in use for a week or longer.

♦Many factors affect your battery's performance, including the quantity of labels printed, intervals of batches printed, percentage of black per label, and power management.
