Installing 802.11b Radio Card (if

applicable)

Note: This information applies only if you have a

PB41 Printer with an 802.11b Radio.

Before installing the 802.11b Radio Card ensure

that the protective battery tab strips are in place

or remove the batteries before installing the radio

card.

Your PB41 Printer with an 802.11b radio has been configured

at the factory. FCC mandates that the radio card not be

installed for shipment. The following information guides you

through the process of installing the radio card.

The radio card is packed separately in an anti-static plastic

bag taped to the inside of the printer box.

1Remove the radio card cap.

2With the logo facing down, insert the radio card between the

foam and the radio card strap.

PB41 Printer Quick Start Guide

3Carefully push the card into the connector until it is fully

seated.

4Replace the radio card cap.

Before Using Your Printer For The First

Time

Remove the protective tab strips underneath the batteries. They

are placed there to keep your printer from discharging during

shipment.

5Push against the battery lock tab and lift the battery up be-

fore pulling on the protective tab strips. These tabs prevent

the battery contacts from touching and therefore, no charging

occurs.

6If your printer won’t charge after removing the protective

tabs, check for and remove any residue in the battery pin

area.

Determining Current Battery Power

To determine the current charge on each battery pack, print out

a self-test by pressing and holding the red self-test button for

four seconds. If the battery is good, you will see the abbreviation

for the word “GOOD” next to the Battery voltage (Batt1 or

Batt2) print out.

This printer has a built in low battery detector. When the print-

er’s battery voltage is low, the printer beeps three times, indicat-

ing a Low Battery Warning. This only happens if the printer is

awake.

Printer Self-Test

Push the red button and hold for about four seconds to print a

self-test.
