At the time of purchase, the rechargeable battery is slightly charged so that
the operation of the printer can be verified; however, the rechargeable
battery should be fully charged with the AC adapter/DC cable before the
printer is used.
If the printer will not be used for a long period of time, remove the
rechargeable battery from the printer, and then store it in a location where
it is not exposed to static electricity, high humidity, or high temperatures
(temperatures between 15 and 25 C and 40% to 60% humidity are recommended).
In order to maintain the efficiency and life of the rechargeable battery,
charge it at least every six months.
The printer is powered with a rechargeable battery. If the printer can only be
used for a short period of time, even though it is fully charged, the
rechargeable battery may have reached the end of its service life. Replace the
rechargeable battery with a new one. When replacing the rechargeable battery,
cover the battery terminals that make contact with the printer with tape to
prevent the terminals from shorting.
