Notes about the Battery Pack
u
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.
