Using Batteries: General Guidelines

The printer ships with two batteries installed, but

they are not operational. Before operating the

printer, remove the two red, battery isolator

labels either by gently pulling the labels out, or

by lifting the batteries up.

If you are storing your printer for a long period

of time or shipping it, reinstall the battery

isolator labels.

Both batteries must be installed for your printer

to operate properly.

Installing and/or Replacing Batteries

1. Open the printer by unsnapping the latch on the

front of the case (Figure 1).

2. Lift the battery cover up by pushing the retainer clip

inward with your finger (Figure 2).

3. Lift up the outside end of the battery to remove it.

Charging the Batteries and Handheld

Computer

If the battery is low when the printer “wakes up,” the

printer sounds three short beeps.

1. Remove the red battery isolator labels, if necessary.

2. Plug the power supply connector into the printer's

external DC port. The DC port is located on the side

of the printer's case (Figure 4).

3. Plug the adapter in an appropriate power source.

The Charge LED flashes red when charging and flashes

green when fully charged. The Charge LED is visible

when the printer's lid is open or closed. A complete

charge takes approximately 7-9 hours. For more

information on the Charge LEDs, see

PrintPad MC70

LEDs and Indicators on page 12

Caution: To obtain full battery capacity, a new battery

must cycle through two to three charges. To restart a

charge, unplug the power cord. Wait 30 seconds, then

replug the power cord.

Note: The MC70 Handheld Computer will charge while

power is plugged into the DC power port.

Caution: Do not plug DC power into the internal and

external power ports at the same time.

Caution: Do not plug in either DC plug to power if

using external charge contacts and they are powered.

Determining Battery Condition

You can determine the relative battery status by

printing a self-test. For more information, see

Printing a

Self-Test on page 9

. On the printout, “Battery Volt”

varies between 6.8 and 8.4 volts.

Caution: There is a risk of explosion if the battery is

replaced by an incorrect type. Dispose of used

batteries according to the instructions.

Caution: The operating temperature of this portable

printer is 50° C. However, the operating temperature

when used with a Datamax-O’Neil power supply for

charging the portable printer is limited to 40° C. Please

charge the printer in a suitable location that meets this

temperature requirement.

Caution: (For US/Canada) Please only use the

Datamax-O’Neill part number 220240-100 power

supply with this product.
