USING THE BATTERY PACK
1.
Pull up and out on the end of the rubber elastomer flap on the bottom of
the printer to open the battery compartment.
2. To insert:
Slide the battery into the printer (label up) until it "clicks" or
snaps into place.
3. To remove:
Pull gently on the plastic tab at the end of the battery itself
until it gives and freely slides out of the printer.
4.
When the battery is in the printer, replace the flap and close the battery compartment
before use.
Large characters and/or large labels require more power to print than smaller ones and will
drain the battery faster. The printer monitors the battery usage internally and will maximize
battery life so it is able to print labels up until the battery is completely dead.
WARNING:
Risk
of fire or explosion if battery is replaced by an incorrect type. Use HellermannTyton approved
battery packs at all times.
CAUTION:
Always power down unit before removing battery to
prevent damage to LCD.

pack and the other end into an appropriate electrical outlet. Allow charging
