VIII. TAKE YOUR PORTAPRINTER WITH YOU

The PP2000D can operate from battery power, making your unit completely portable. 

To use battery power, unplug the AC charger/adapter from the unit.

When the batteries are fully charged, the Porta Print-

er will operate for about 2 hours. The batteries will 

automatically recharge whenever the unit is plugged 

into the AC charger/adapter and the unit is turned 

OFF.

If you are using your Porta Printer on battery power 

and  the  red  Power  Light  starts  to  fl ash  on  and  off 

(BRIGHT - dim - BRIGHT - dim), this shows that the 

battery needs recharging. The light will fl ash for sev-

eral minutes. Then the Porta Printer will stop work-

ing.  When  this  happens,  you  must  change  over  to 

AC power (house electricity) to continue using your 

machine until you recharge the battery.

It is suggested that you exercise the battery in your 

PortaPrinter  at  least  once  a  month.  That  is,  oper-

ate the unit on battery power until it needs recharg-

ing. Then recharge the battery by plugging in the AC 

charger/adapter for 12 to 14 hours. (The unit must 

be turned OFF in order to recharge.) Repeat this cy-

cle  at  least  once  a  month.  When  used  regularly  in 

this cycle at least once a month. When used regu-

larly in this cycle, the battery should last for about 

three years.

The replaceable, sealed battery pack is a single unit 

that contains the battery, connector and cover. This 

unit is located on the underside of the Porta Printer 

at the back of the unit. Replacement battery packs 

are available from Krown Manufacturing or your local 

Krown distributor.

To replace the battery pack, depress the thumb notch 

in the center of the cover and slide the unit to the 

back of the TDD. Carefully unplug the connector. Re-

place with a new battery pack unit.
