Battery and Safety Information
♦ You must charge a battery before using it. For optimal battery life, charge the battery within
three months of receipt.
WARNING: Use only the Monarch® 9496™ charger/adapter designed for Lithium-ion batteries
when charging. The battery might explode if used with a different charger. Refer to
the Operating Instructions provided with the charger/adapter for more information.
♦ The optimal battery storage temperature is -4°F - 104°F
(-20°C - 40°C). For more information about storage temperatures, see Appendix A,
“Specifications.” The battery may lose its charge capacity permanently if stored at
temperatures less than -4°F (-20°C) or greater than 104°F (40°C). For longest life, the
battery should be stored in a cool, dry place.
♦ Prolonged storage or operation of a fully-charged battery above 104°F (40°C) may cause a
permanent battery capacity loss of up to 10%.
♦ The recommended temperature for charging is 32°F - 104°F
(0°C - 40°C)
♦ Charging time is approximately 1 to 3 hours.
♦ Recycling Information - Do not throw in trash. Recycle to your local regulations. The
Rechargeable Battery Recycling Corporation (RBRC®) is a non-profit organization created to
promote recycling of rechargeable batteries. For more information about how to recycle
batteries in your area, visit www.rbrc.org. Batteries can also be returned postage-paid to:
ERC; 200 Monarch Lane Door #39; Miamisburg, OH 45342.
Caution: Do not disassemble, short-circuit, heat above 122°F (50°C),
or incinerate the battery. It may explode.
♦ The battery should be charged immediately for either long-term storage or after the battery
has been exhausted from a printing session. Frequent charging prolongs battery life and has
no negative effects, such as memory loss.
♦ Do not let the battery get wet or come into contact with metal objects.
♦ Do not use a battery with a cracked case.
♦ It is normal for battery capacity to decrease up to 20% over the first
400 - 600 cycles of use.
♦ The printer uses battery power even when the printer is not printing. Remove the printer's
battery when the printer is not in use for a week or longer.
♦ Many factors affect your battery's performance, including the quantity of labels printed,
intervals of batches printed, percentage of black per label, and power management.
