4.2 Charging the Battery
It takes about 2 to 3 hours to fully charge the battery for the first time. The battery lifetime is about 300 charge/discharge cycles.
The battery’s normal working temperature is from 0°C to 40°C (32°F to 104°F). The device and battery charger are designed to
charge battery in a safe and optimized manner. If charging the battery at high temperatures, e.g. approximately 40°C (104°F), or
charging the battery with printer being turned on, the printer or battery charger may stop charging for a period of time to maintain
the battery at acceptable temperatures.
4.2.1 Battery Installed in the Printer
1. Open the interface cover and then insert the supplied power
connector into the power jack socket.
2. Insert the power plug into the power outlet socket.
IMPORTANT: Before inserting the power cable connector into the
socket, please turn off the printer. DO NOT remove the battery
from the printer when charging the battery; otherwise, you need to
remove and re-insert the power cable.
The battery status LED will remain solid amber until the battery
reaches fully charged. Once fully charged, the LED will turn off and
the printer will automatically stop charging.
