Initial Use
The battery pack is shipped in “transport mode” to reduce power consumption when being transported or stored for long periods of
time. The battery must be activated by plugging the supplied Charger Power Supply to the proper AC voltage, and then plugging the
power supply cable into the battery pack. The four LEDs on the right hand label of the battery pack will indicate the charge level of the
battery pack. (Refer to Figure 2) Continue to charge the battery if necessary until the top LED is lit, indicating a full charge.
Indicators
Refer to figures 1 and 2 for an explanation of the indicators on the left and right hand panels on the handle side of the Battery Pack.
Charge Frequency
Fully charge the battery pack after every shift. If the Battery Pack is not in use, recharge at least every twelve (12) months. The battery
may be used to power a printing system while being charged, but this will lengthen charging times considerably.
Ensure that the Charger Power Supply is plugged into a power source that won’t accidentally be turned off if you will be charging
batteries overnight.
Transporting the Battery
The Battery Pack should be placed in “transport mode” if it will be shipped to another location or it will be stored for a long period of
time. This can be done by pressing the Power Switch for 3 seconds. The charge indicator LEDs will then shut off, indicating the battery
has successfully entered transport mode.
