Using the Battery Handle ––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––
The printer is powered by a 12VDC NiCd battery in the handle.
You can use and recharge the battery handle daily for
approximately two years.
nSee the label on the bottom of the handle about battery
recycling and disposal.
When the battery handle is not in use and not recharging, it
loses 2 to 3% of its charge per day. Extremely hot or cold
environments will increase or decrease the discharge rate.
Keep the battery handle charging when it is not in use. This
way, the printer is ready when you need it.
