Notes about the Battery Pack

General Battery Characteristics

•

The battery is a consumable and its performance over time will gradually decrease.

•

While not in use, the battery will slowly discharge itself.

Prepare a battery pack that has been charged relatively recently (1 to 2 days earlier).

•

To ensure that the battery lasts for a long time, we recommend that you turn off the printer

whenever possible.

•

When used at low temperatures, battery performance will temporarily decline. Be sure to have a

fully-charged spare battery standing by if the printer will operate in a cold environment.
