About the Batteries
The Minicom 6000 Plus runs on batteries when you unplug the AC adapter or
when the power fails. Fully-charged, the six AA rechargeable Nickel Metal
Hydride (NiMH) batteries will provide about 90 minutes of normal use without
mains power.
When the power light blinks, you have about 10 minutes of battery power left. The
batteries will last longer if you turn off the printer when you use battery power.
Charging the Batteries
To fully charge the batteries, plug the AC adapter into a main power socket, and
leave the Minicom 6000 Plus turned off for the first 24 hours. After the first
charging time, the batteries will keep their charge as the Minicom 6000 Plus
remains plugged in.
Checking the Batteries
Follow these steps to check the batteries:
1. Unplug the AC adapter.
2. Turn on the Minicom 6000 Plus for 30 minutes. (You can still use it for calls
during this time).
3. The batteries are fine if the power light still glows steadily after 30 minutes. If
the power light blinks within 30 minutes, the batteries are getting weak and
should be replaced.
4. Plug the AC adapter back in. Turn off the Minicom 6000 Plus.
Exercising the Batteries
1. Leave the Minicom 6000 Plus on with the AC adapter unplugged until the
power light flashes.
2. Turn the unit off and plug in the AC adapter for 24 hours (you can use the
Minicom 6000 Plus for calls during this time).
3. Unplug the AC adapter and leave the Minicom 6000 Plus on for 30 minutes.
4. Repeat steps 1 to 3 until the power light glows steadily after 30 minutes
without the AC adapter.
