Notes on Using the Rechargeable Li-ion Battery
 Fully charge the battery before use. Do not use it before it is fully

Setting Tool (see the Online User’s Guide).
 The battery charging must take place in 32°F - 104°F (0°C - 40°C)
environments, otherwise the battery will not be charged, and the

adapter or car adapter is connected, the STATUS indicator may turn off
and charging may stop even if the battery has not been fully charged.
Rechargeable Li-ion Battery Characteristics
To ensure the highest performance and longest life from your the battery:
 Do not use or store the battery in a location exposed to extreme high or
low temperatures as it may discharge more quickly. This may happen
when using a rechargeable Li-ion battery with a high charge (charged
90% or more) in a location exposed to high temperatures.
 Remove the battery when storing the printer for long periods of time.
 Store batteries with less than a 50% charge in a cool dry place out of
direct sunlight.
 Recharge the battery every six months if it is stored for long periods of
time.
