Chapter 1 — Using the Mobile Printer
PB50 and PB51 Mobile Printer User Guide 13
When the printer is in Standby mode, both the LCD and the Ready-
to-Work indicator turn off. You can set Standby Timer to 5 mins, 10
mins, 20 mins, 30 mins, 60 mins, or disabled. Press the Standby
button to turn the printer back on.
Extending Battery Life
Here are some tips for extending the overall life of your battery:
• Never expose the battery to direct sunlight or temperatures over
50 °C (122 °F).
• Only charge the battery inside the printer using a power supply, or
in the 4-bay battery charger (Model AC18).
• Do not set the backlight to always on. This setting disables the
automatic power saving modes.
Here are some tips for extending the life of your battery between
charges:
• When you are not using the printer, press the Standby button to
start Standby mode. Press and hold the Standby button for about
one second to stop Standby mode and start Ready mode.
• Remove the battery from the printer if you will not be using it for
three days or more.
• Do not operate the printer in extremely cold temperatures. Using
the printer in temperatures below 0 °C (32 °F) reduces the overall
battery life.
Over time, rechargeable batteries lose the ability to maintain a charge.
You can only recharge a battery a finite number of times before you
must replace it.
