Setting Up the Printer | Canon K10158 specification

FOLLOW THESE GUIDELINES WHEN STORING AND HANDLING

THE BATTERY PACK:

•A battery pack is not charged when purchased. You must charge the battery pack for about 4 to 6 hours for it to reach full charge.

•For best results, use the battery pack at room temperature. At low

temperatures the capacity of the battery pack is diminished and it will print fewer sheets between recharging sessions.

• Never attempt to recharge the battery pack with any device other than 2 the Universal AC Adapter AD-360U supplied with this printer.

•To avoid personal injury from an explosion, never expose the battery pack to an open flame and never attempt to incinerate an old battery pack.

•Used battery packs should be disposed of according to environmental regulations in your country. For details, contact your Canon Authorised Dealer or Canon representative.

•To avoid damaging the contacts on the corner of the battery pack, avoid touching them with any metal object like a tool, jewellery, the surface of a metal table, etc. Damaged contacts could cause leaking and serious burns.

•To avoid personal injury from corrosive liquids, never attempt to disassemble the battery pack.

•If any liquid from a leaking or broken battery pack gets into your eyes, flush your eyes immediately with clean water and contact a physician.

•Never attempt to connect the battery pack directly to mains (house) current or to a cigarette lighter socket in an automobile.

•Never attempt to use this battery pack for any purpose other than as a power source for this printer.

•Never store a battery pack in a location above room temperature.

•Remove the battery pack immediately and contact your Canon Authorised Dealer or Canon Representative if the battery pack shows any signs of warping, releasing a strange odour, leaking fluid, or overheating. However, do not be concerned if the battery pack feels slightly warm during recharging; this is perfectly normal.

•If you intend to store the printer for a prolonged period (3 months or more), remove the battery pack. Store the printer and battery pack in a dust-free location away from direct sunlight.

•Always handle the battery pack with care to avoid dropping it and damaging its casing and contacts.
