Battery Safety

The Battery Packs used on Zebra Mobile Printers contain a great deal of energy and can cause personal injury or start a fire if used improperly or carelessly. Please observe the following safety practices:

Avoid accidental short circuiting of any battery. Allowing battery terminals to contact conductive material will create a short circuit which could cause burns and other injuries or could start a fire.

Batteries can explode or catch fire if improperly charged or exposed to high temperatures or fire.

Do not disassemble, crush or expose batteries to water.

CAUTION: Use of any charger not approved specifically by Zebra for use with its batteries could cause damage to the battery pack or the printer and will void the warranty.
