Getting Started
Follow the steps in this section to print your first label.
Connecting the Power
The label maker is powered by a rechargeable, lithium-ion
(Li-ion) battery pack. To save power, the label maker
automatically turns off after two minutes of inactivity.
Remove the battery pack if the label maker will not
be used for a long period of time.
Inserting the Battery Pack
The battery pack included with your label maker comes
partially charged. For best performance, fully charge the
battery as soon as possible.
Make sure the charging adapter is disconnected
before handling the Li-ion battery pack.
To insert the battery pack

label maker. See Figure 2.
