The model 2500THS printers require an adaptor output of 10VDC/1.4A.

The battery Fast-charge is initiated each time the power adapter is connected to the printer

The fast-charge controller checks the battery’s voltage and temperature, before the start of the fast recharge process. If the battery voltage or the temperature is outside of the fast-charge limits, the charger defaults to trickle charge at C/10 or 70mA rate

Optional external battery chargers are available for Extech batteries m p o r r t a n t N o t e s o n R e p l l a c i i n g B a t t e r i i e s

Check for the correct Extech part number for the battery and only order that part for your new battery

!

Caution: Risk of explosion if battery is replaced by an incorrect type.

!

Caution: Dispose of used batteries according to instructions in Section

4.5

4.3 Verifying Battery Charge State:

It is strongly recommended testing your printer before returning to Extech. Follow these steps to identify and correct any battery power problem that may be encountered. These will help to identify that the fault is with the printer and not some other part of your system.

ƒ To test the AC adaptor use a multi-meter and measure the output. Output should be 10VDC

ƒ Press the <ON/OFF> switch and wait until all LED’s are off

ƒ Insert the AC adaptor plug into the printer. If the amber LED goes on, the battery is not fully charged but the charge circuit is functioning.

17

The AC power portion of the circuit appears ok

ƒ Disconnect the AC Adapter once the battery has charged for 5 minutes or so.

ƒ Press and hold the <FEED> switch, then press and release the <ON/OFF> switch and then release the <FEED> switch. The printer will print a “self test” receipt

If the self test receipt is printed, the DC power is ok

ƒ Press <ON/OFF> switch and wait until all LED’s are off

ƒ Plug the AC adaptor into the printer. Press <ON>; the green LED is illuminated and after about 20 seconds the LED should go off

ƒ If the amber LED is on, this will continue on through this test indicating that the battery is accepting a charge and that the charge circuit is ok. At the end of a 180 minute charge cycle the LED will go off.

4.4 Battery and Safety Information:

The printer is powered by a 7.4V Li-Ion battery cartridge.

ƒ Charging time in the printer is approximately 3.0 hours

ƒ Take the battery out of printer if storing the printer for long periods of time

ƒ The battery storage temperature is 40°F to 104°F (4°C to 40°C). Do not store a fully charged battery at temperatures greater than 104°F (40°C) for long periods of time – the battery may permanently lose charge capacity

ƒ Be sure to use a fully charged battery before long or battery intensive printing sessions. Certain operations (for example, printing receipts with a lot of bar codes and graphics) drain the battery more quickly than others

ƒ Dispose according to your local regulations. Do not throw in trash

Caution: Do not disassemble, short circuit, heat above 80°C, or

incinerate. The battery may explode

ƒ The recommended temperature for charging is between 68°F (20°C) to 77°F

(25°C).
