To insert the battery pack in the printer, proceed as follows:
•
Remove the battery container from the rear of the printer,
and keep it for future use.
•
In its place, insert the battery pack with its contacts
towards the corresponding contacts inside the printer.
Make sure the battery pack is completely and correctly
inserted.
The battery pack must NOT be removed from the printer
when you transport it.
For safety, brand-new battery packs are uncharged; you
must therefore charge the pack before use.
Always switch off the printer when it is not in use, to
avoid damage to the battery pack (over-discharging).

Charging or Recharging Battery Packs
Both types of battery pack can be recharged while in
the printer; the Ni-Cd battery pack has a recharge time of
approximately 6 hours, the Ni-MH battery pack, 12 hours.
With the printer connected to the electrical power supply
using the AC/DC adapter and switched on, battery
recharging can be started:
•
automatically
, when a low battery condition is detected or
if you are using a NiCd battery pack.
If the FORM FEED and ON LINE keys are pressed
simultaneously, recharging will stop and the printer will be
set ON LINE. Take care not to continually recharge or
overcharge the battery pack, as this will adversely affect
its operating life.
•
manually
(by pressing POWER for more than 4 seconds),
the battery pack will be recharged as long as the printer is
idle.
When the printer receives an operating command,
recharging will automatically be suspended, to be
resumed as soon as the printer is idle again.
An optional fast charger (item 6 on page IV) is available (see
Supplies and Options
).
