Brother PT-18R manual Replacing the rechargeable battery

GETTING STARTED

• The AC power lamp lights when the P-touch is set in the battery charger and the AC adapter is connected to the battery charger, or when the AC adapter is connected directly to the P-touch, regardless of whether a battery is fitted or charging is complete.

•Be sure to charge the battery before using the P-touch.

•Connect the AC adapter directly to the P-touch to use it when the battery’s charge becomes low.

•Return the P-touch to the battery charger after use. Even when not used the battery will run down if the P-touch is not placed on the battery charger.

•Leaving the P-touch on the charger even when the battery is fully charged will not damage it.

•The battery may not be charged sufficiently when the power supply is less than the rated voltage.

Replacing the rechargeable battery

While the replacement period varies depending on the conditions of use, the battery will generally need to be replaced after approximately one year. Be sure to replace it with the specified rechargeable battery (BA-18R).
