Rechargeable Li-ion battery (The rechargeable Li-on battery comes with the RJ-3050/3150. Li-ion
battery optional with the RJ-4030/4040.)
Carefully observe the following precautions for the rechargeable Li-ion battery (hereafter referred
to as "rechargeable battery"). If these precautions are not followed, overheating, leaking, or cracks
in the battery may result in an electrical short, explosion, smoke, fire, electric shock, injury to
yourself or others, or damage to the product or other property.
Use the rechargeable battery only for its intended purpose. The printer and rechargeable battery
are designed to function exclusively with each other. DO NOT insert the rechargeable battery
into a different printer, or a different rechargeable battery into your printer, otherwise fire or
damage may result.
To charge the rechargeable battery, insert it into the printer, and then use the AC adapter
designed specifically for this printer.
DO NOT charge the rechargeable battery near a fire or in direct sunlight. This could activate the
protection circuitry, which is designed to prevent danger from high heat. Activation of the
protection circuitry could cause charging to stop, charging to occur with excessive
current/voltage if the protection circuitry fails, or an abnormal chemical reaction within the
battery.
When charging the rechargeable battery, use only a battery charger designed specifically for the
rechargeable battery.
DO NOT allow wires or other metal objects to come into contact with the terminals of the
rechargeable battery. DO NOT carry or store the rechargeable battery with metal objects such
as necklaces or hairpins. This could cause an electrical short, and lead metal objects such as
wires, necklaces, or hairpins to overheat.
DO NOT use or leave the rechargeable battery near fire, heaters, or other high temperature
(above 176F/80°C) locations.
DO NOT allow the rechargeable battery to come into contact with or to be immersed in water.
DO NOT use the rechargeable battery in corrosive environments, such as areas where salty air,
salt water, acids, alkalis, corrosive gases, chemicals, or any corrosive liquid are present.
DO NOT use the rechargeable battery if it is damaged or leaking.
DO NOT directly solder any connections to the rechargeable battery. This could cause internal
insulation to melt, gas to be emitted, or safety mechanisms to fail.
DO NOT use the rechargeable battery with the polarity (+) (-) reversed. Check the orientation of

The available scientific evidence does not show that any health problems are associated with
using low power wireless devices. There is no proof, however, that these low power wireless
devices are absolutely safe. Low power Wireless devices emit low levels of radio frequency
energy (RF) in the microwave range while being used. Whereas high levels of RF can produce
health effects (by heating tissue), exposure of low-level RF that does not produce heating effects
causes no known adverse health effects. Many studies of low-level RF exposures have not found
any biological effects. Some studies have suggested that some biological effects might occur, but
such findings have not been confirmed by additional research. RJ-3050 and RJ-3150 have been
tested and found to comply with FCC radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled
environment and meets the FCC radio frequency (RF) Exposure Guidelines.

Adjust the print density setting in the printer driver’s dialog box or in the [Communication
settings] in the Printer Setting Tool (see Online User's Guide).
The rechargeable Li-ion battery charging can take place in 32°F-104°F (0°C-40°C)
environments. Charge the rechargeable Li-ion battery in an environment in this temperature
range. If the surrounding temperature is out of this range, the rechargeable Li-ion battery will
not be charged, and the battery indicator will remain lit.
If the printer is used when both the rechargeable Li-ion battery is installed and the AC adapter
or Car adapter is connected, the battery indicator may turn off and charging may stop even if
the rechargeable Li-ion battery has not been fully charged.
When charging the rechargeable Li-ion battery while the Car adapter is connected, the amount
of voltage required to fully charge the rechargeable Li-ion battery may not be supplied by the
DC power outlet. When 180 minutes (max.) have passed since charging started, the battery
indicator turns off and charging stops even if the rechargeable Li-ion battery has not been fully
charged.
Rechargeable Li-ion Battery Characteristics
Understanding the properties of the rechargeable Li-ion battery will allow you to optimize its
usage.
Using or storing the rechargeable Li-ion battery in a location exposed to high or low
temperatures may accelerate its deterioration. In particular, using a rechargeable Li-ion battery
with a high charge (charged 90% or more) in a location exposed to high temperatures will
considerably accelerate battery deterioration.
Using the printer while the rechargeable Li-ion battery is installed and charging may accelerate
the battery’s deterioration.
If using the printer when the rechargeable Li-ion battery is installed, disconnect the AC adapter
or Car adapter.
If the printer will not be used for a long period of time, remove the rechargeable Li-ion battery
from the printer when its charge is 50% or less, and then store the battery in a cool place away
from direct sunlight.
If the rechargeable Li-ion battery will not be used for a long period of time, we recommend
charging it every 6 months.
For other precautions, refer to the instruction manual included with the rechargeable Li-ion
battery.
