If the printer displays:
“Please Recondition the Battery”
and beeps ve times, the user
should recondition the battery to
return it to optimal operation.
To recondition the battery, charge
the battery fully overnight and then

condition.

is fully charged. At that point the
battery will be reconditioned. If the

level will indicate that there is more
charge remaining in the battery
pack than is actually available. Re-
conditioning performed as prompt-
