Stopping Rechargeable Li-ion Battery Charging 1
To stop rechargeable Li-ion battery from charging, disconnect the AC power cord or car adapter from the DC 
connector.
Tips on Using the Rechargeable Li-ion Battery 1
 Fully charge the rechargeable Li-ion battery before use. Do not use it before it is charged.
 Darker prints discharge the rechargeable Li-ion battery faster than lighter prints. Adjust the print density 
setting in the printer driver’s dialog box or in the Device settings (see Device Settings on page 66).
 The rechargeable Li-ion battery charging can take place in 0-40°C environments. Charge the rechargeable 
Li-ion battery in an environment in this temperature range. If the surrounding temperature is out of this 
range, the rechargeable Li-ion battery will not be charged, and the battery indicator will remain lit.
 If the printer is used when both the rechargeable Li-ion battery is installed and the AC adapter or car 
adapter is connected, the battery indicator may turn off and charging may stop even if the rechargeable 
Li-ion battery has not been fully charged.
Rechargeable Li-ion Battery Characteristics 1
The following guidelines will help you get the highest performance and longest life from your rechargeable 
Li-ion battery:
 Using or storing the rechargeable Li-ion battery in a location exposed to extreme high or low temperatures 
may accelerate its deterioration. In particular, using a rechargeable Li-ion battery with a high charge 
(charged 90% or more) in a location exposed to high temperatures will considerably accelerate battery 
deterioration.
 Avoid regular printing while charging. Unplug power to the printer while printing.
 Do not store the battery in the printer.
 Batteries should be stored with less than a 50% charge in a cool dry place out of direct sunlight.
 The battery should be recharged every 6 months when stored for long periods of time.
 Refer to the rechargeable Li-ion battery instruction manual for other precautions.
