documentation. Do not use the battery with non-rechargeable batteries (primary cell batteries) or with
rechargeable batteries (secondary cell batteries) of dierent capacities or types. Use of batteries not designed for
this printer can cause excessive discharging during use, and an excessive current to ow during charging. As a
result, the battery could become hot, emit smoke, rupture, or catch re.
❏ Do not place the printer or external battery in a microwave oven or a high-pressure container. Otherwise, the
battery could become hot, emit smoke, rupture, or catch
re.
❏ Do not drop or throw the printer, external battery, or subject it to strong shocks. Otherwise, the battery could
leak or the protection circuit in the battery could be damaged. As a result, the battery could become hot, emit
smoke, rupture, or catch re.
❏ Do not use or leave the printer or external battery in a hot location such as near a re or a heater. No more than
80 °C for the printer and no more than 50 °C for the external battery. Otherwise, the plastic separator could
melt and the individual cells could short-circuit. As a result, the battery could become hot, emit smoke, rupture,
or catch re.
❏ Do not leave the printer or external battery in a vehicle. Otherwise, the battery could overheat.
❏ Do not expose the printer or external battery to high humidity.
❏ Do not handle the battery with wet hands or use it in locations near water. If the battery gets wet or is immersed
