Introduction This manual covers the use of all chargers currently offered by Zebra for use with MP, RP, Encore, Cameo and QL series mobile printers. MP and RP Series Printers The MP series (MP5022, MP5030, MP5033 and MP5044) and the RP3 use NiCad batteries, which require periodic “conditioning” to maintain their maximum capacity. The UC and NCxx04 series chargers designed for these batteries are equipped with a "Condition" cycle, which first discharges then charges the battery.
UCLI72-4 Quad Charger Description The UCLI72-4 Quad Charger is designed to charge up to four Lithium-Ion (LIon) QL series Mobile Printer battery packs simultaneously. The unit is supplied with an external 110/220 VAC power supply and a line cord compatible with its country of use. Setting up the Charger Place the Quad Charger on a surface near an A.C. outlet.
Note the orientation of the battery pack. Slide the battery pack into the charging bay until it stops. Then rock the battery pack back until it snaps into place. The amber indicator directly under the battery being charged will turn on if the battery is properly inserted. The charger will perform an automatic charging cycle on inserted battery packs. First it will perform a “Fast Charge” to bring the batteries up to a usable voltage as quickly as possible.

Battery packs which are still partially charged will take less time. The Quad Charger has a safety feature which stops charging a battery after six hours regardless of its charge state. Safety Precautions Battery Safety Avoid accidental short circuiting of any battery.
UCN72-4 Quad Charger Description The UCN72-4 Quad Charger is designed to charge up to four NiMH Encore and/or Cameo series batteries simultaneously. Battery packs may be charged externally or while plugged into the printer. The unit has switch selectable 110/ 220 V.A.C. input voltage and is supplied with a line cord compatible with its country of use.
the battery pack to be charged. The charge indicator near the cable will either light steadily, or start to blink. On a fully charged battery, the indicator will go out after a few minutes, indicating a fully charged condition. On batteries in need of charging, the indicator will stop blinking after a period of time determined by the charge level of the battery and then stay lit continuously. This indicates that the charger is now operating in fast charge mode.
NCxx04 Series Quad Charger/Conditioners Description NC series Quad Chargers sequentially charge and/or condition up to 4 batteries. Charge time is approximately one hour per battery depending on battery’s state of charge. Condition cycle times vary with both the battery’s state of charge and with each model. Charging Batteries Plug the A.C. line of the charger into an A.C. receptacle.
Conditioning Battery Packs In order to extend battery life, battery packs should be conditioned periodically. The NC series Quad Chargers are equipped with a "Condition" mode, which fully discharges a battery pack followed by a full charge cycle. Conditioning NiCad battery packs once a week is recommended for optimum performance of batteries. Condition Light: FLASHING light indicates pending operation. When the battery is next in the charger’s sequence, it will be conditioned.
The communications port should only be used by factory authorized personnel.

LI72 Wall Charger Description The LI72 is a wall mounted fast charger with universal 110 to 230, 50-60 Hz. VAC input. Multiple A.C. plug configurations comply with most international standards. This charger is used with the QL series printers (QL 220, QL 320, QL 420) equipped with Lithium Ion (LiIon) batteries. The LI72 will charge a battery pack as fast as its charge level will allow, and then switch over to a maintenance charge to keep the charge at its maximum. Refer to the table below for part numbers.
Do not attempt to charge batteries with the LI72 while printing. Attempting to print while charging can result in improperly charged batteries. LI72 Models Model number Country of use V.A.C.

UC Series Charger/Conditioner IMPORTANT: Never charge or condition battery packs while attempting to run the printer. Description The UC series of Charger/Conditioners is designed to charge and condition individual battery packs used on the MP, RP, Encore and Cameo series of portable printers. Battery packs may be charged off-unit or while connected to the printer. Typical charge time is 60 to 90 minutes. Charging Battery Packs Plug the A.C. line cord into an A.C.
The condition cycle for a fully charged battery is approximately 90 minutes. If the “Charge OK” indicator blinks, disconnect the battery pack and wait until all the lights except the “Power “ light go out. Reconnect the battery and repeat step 3.
Trickle Chargers Description These compact, cost effective chargers are designed to charge individual battery packs. Typical charge time is 12 to 16 hours. Charging Batteries Plug the charge cable into the battery pack charger jack, and the Charger body into the appropriate A.C. wall receptacle. Trickle Chargers will charge the battery overnight, typically in 12 to 16 hours. While they can be used when the printer is running, charging time will be lengthened.
