 The power adapter may remain connected to the printer to keep the battery fully charged and

will not cause damage to the printer or battery.

III. Additional Battery and Safety Information

 The DP-330 series printers use a 11.1 volt 3000 mAH Lithium Ion battery.

Caution

: Risk of explosion if battery is replaced by incorrect type. Dispose of used

batteries according to the instructions.

 The recommended ambient temperature for charging is 68-77° Fahrenheit (20-25° Centigrade).

 Take the battery out of the printer when storing the printer for long periods of time. The battery

storage temperature is 40-104° Fahrenheit (4-40° Centigrade). Do not store a fully charged

battery at temperatures above this range for long periods of time or the battery may

permanently lose charge capacity.

 Do not disassemble, short circuit, heat above 80°C, or incinerate the battery. The battery may

explode.

 Only dispose of used batteries according to your local regulations

IV. Testing the Power Adapter and Battery

To verify that the printer’s internal battery charger is functioning properly, perform the following steps.

 Test the power adapter (100-240VAC/50-60Hz, 12/24VDC adapter) with a voltmeter to verify

that its output voltage is 19 VDC.

 Connect the power adapter to a power source and then connect it to the printer.

 Verify that the printer’s Battery Indicator is illuminated. If illuminated, the charging circuit is

functioning properly.

Note

: If the battery is already fully charged, the Battery Indicator will turn off after a short time.

 After the battery has been charged for five minutes, disconnect the power adapter.

 Perform a printer Self-Test.

o Make sure the printer is turned off.

o Press and hold the Paper Feed Button while turning the printer on.

 If the printer successfully prints the Self-Test, the battery is functional. If the Self-Test does

not complete and the printer turns off, repeat this test with a known good battery.

 Once this test has completed successfully, allow the battery to fully charge. At the end of this

time the Battery Indicator will turn off.

If the printer and battery do not appear to successfully pass these tests, refer to the Troubleshooting

section for possible causes and solutions.

Note

: This test only verifies that the power adapter, the internal charging circuit, and the battery are

functioning properly. This test does not provide a valid indication of the relative capacity of the battery

or how long it may hold a charge.
