1.  Immediately discontinue the use of a battery pack if, while using or storing it, the pack emits an unusual 

smell, feels too hot to hold in the palm of the hand, changes color or shape, or appears abnormal in any 
way.  

It is also recommended that people should immediately leave the area and you should contact your safety 
personnel to handle the situation.  Unplugging the charger may not necessarily prevent an incident. 

2.  Care should be taken to avoid “shorting” the battery packs across the terminals or across other battery 

packs. This includes, but is not limited to, carrying them in a pocket that may contain loose change, paper 
clips, other battery packs or other conductive (metal) materials.   

3.  Dropping or other mistreatment of the battery pack may cause a fire or a chemical burn hazard.  Allow a 

dropped battery pack to sit for at least a minute and, preferably, replace the battery. 

4.  Do not expose battery packs to water.  Do not incinerate or expose battery packs to temperatures above 

60ºC/140ºF. 

5.  Do not attempt to disassemble a battery pack or pierce the pack with a sharp object. 

6.  Damaged or leaking battery packs should be handled with extreme care. Personal injury may result from 

the mishandling of a damaged or leaking battery pack. 

7.  If leaking fluid gets into a person’s eyes, they should not rub the eye. Rinse the eye well with water and 

immediately seek medical care. 

8.  Keep battery packs away from children.  

1.  Charge Zebra battery packs only with a genuine Zebra charger.  Do not attempt to charge other types of 

batteries in the charger. 

2.  Please be sure to follow all of the safety guidelines supplied with the charger. 

3.  We recommend that Li-Ion batteries should be charged in an unoccupied area.  

4.  Do not charge battery packs near combustible or conductive materials. 

5.  Charge the battery packs in a well-ventilated room that does not exceed room temperatures of 45ºC/113ºF. 

6.  Turn the printer off if charging with a fast charger wall unit. 

7.  A fast blinking red light indicates that there is a fault condition in the battery; such battery should no longer 

be used. 

8.  As with any other electrical device, if overheating or burning odors are noticed during charging, people 

should immediately leave the area and you should contact your safety personnel to handle the situation.  
NOTE: Due to the large amount of energy that is contained in a Li-Ion battery, unplugging the unit may not 
necessarily prevent an incident.
