21-LAB Label Printer by six AA alkaline
batteries, a BMP21-PLUS-BATT Lithium Ion battery pack, or by an AC power adapter.

rechargeable (Ultimate Lithium) AA batteries.
The optional Li-Ion battery pack is rechargeable, but must be removed from the printer and
attached to the AC power adapter for charging to take place.
The AC power adapter is used to recharge the Li-ion battery pack outside the printer, but it can
also be used to power the BMP®21-PLUS printer without batteries.
WARNING
Do not expose batteries to temperatures above 60C (140F).
Do not disassemble or mistreat the battery pack.
Do not attempt to open, damage, or replace components in the battery pack.
