Tips on Using the Rechargeable Li-ion Battery
• Charge the rechargeable Li-ion battery before use. Do not use it before it is charged.
• The rechargeable Li-ion battery charging can take place in 41°F/5°C to 95°F/35°C
environments. Charge the rechargeable Li-ion battery in an environment in this temperature
range. If the surrounding temperature is out of this range, the rechargeable Li-ion battery will
not be charged, and the battery indicator will remain lit.
If the P-touch labeling system is used when both the rechargeable Li-ion battery is installed and
the AC adapter is connected, the battery indicator may turn off and charging may stop even if
the rechargeable Li-ion battery has not been fully charged.
