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. receptacle, then plug
the charge cable into the battery pack’s charger jack.  The
“Power” light will come on, followed by the “Charge” light.
When the Battery Pack has been fully charged, the “Charge
OK” indicator will light.
Conditioning Battery Packs
NiCad type battery packs used on a daily basis should be
“conditioned” once a week to insure they keep their maxi-
mum charge life.  This is especially important with batteries
that are usually recharged with the Trickle Charger.
1. Connect the Charger to an A.C. power
source.
2. Plug the charger into the
battery pack’s charger jack.
Wait 5 seconds.
3. Press and hold
the “Condition”
button for

tioning”
