Charging the Battery ––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––

The printer is shipped with a 13.2VDC NiCd battery and an

8-hour "trickle" battery charger. The battery can be used and recharged daily for approximately two years. When the battery is not in use and not recharging, the battery loses

2-3% of its charge per day. Environments with extreme heat increase the discharge rate.

Before operating the printer, you must charge the battery and load it into the printer. You can use any of these chargers:

✦8-hour "trickle" charger

✦1-hour "fast" charger

✦4-station charger.

See Chapter 6, "Specifications," for information on charger options.

wBefore using the charger, inspect the cord for bare wires. Do Not use a charger with bare wires. Only chargers approved for this printer should be used.
