・ Caution should be exercised because the battery pack is
still in high in temperature immediately after the charge.
WARNING
CAUTION
26
7-3. Before using the battery pack
(1) About the battery pack
Note that the deterioration speed (life time) of the battery
pack depends greatly on overcharge and over-discharge.
・
Notes not to cause overcharge
Do not charge the battery pack many times in a short
period of time without discharging electricity.
・Notes not to cause over-discharge
Charge the battery pack promptly when the warning
appears on the display indicating that the remaining
battery level is low.
There is a possibility that the battery pack is in the
over-discharge state when the pack has been
connected with the machine over an extended time
period (The pack is discharged even in the power-off
state), or when the pack has been left for a long time.
・
Optimizing the change
It is the best to charge the battery pack when the
remaining battery level becomes 1/4 or less for
prolonging the battery life.
If the lithium-ion battery is over-discharged, it cannot be
normally charged.
CAUTION
27
(2) Others
・ The battery pack might be high in temperture shortly after
a large amount of printing has been made with this machine.
・ The lithium-ion battery capacity remarkably decreases under
the low-temperature environment. Early charging is
recommended.
・ Replace with a new battery pack when the pack cannot be
fully charged or the operating time decreases.
Charge the battery pack after the temperature falls.
CAUTION
