Power Supply
CPA has two power sources:
eHousehold AC (AC 120 V)
eRechargeable Ni-Cd battery (built-in CPA)
From household AC
Before operating CPA connect it to the household AC outlet (AC 120 V) with
the AC adaptor for about three (3) hours in order to charge the battery.
(While charging you can operate CPA. However, it will take longer for it to
charge.)
S
N »
Household AC outlet
AC 120 V
AC adaptor (KX-WZ4) |
CAUTION:
Use only the supplied AC adaptor.
Other adaptors may damage CPA.
Using the rechargeable Ni-Cd battery
When connected to household AC as illustrated above, the built-in Ni-Cd
battery automatically charges itself.
A full battery charge requires about three (3) hours.
After charging, disconnect the AC adaptor from CPA and the AC outlet.
CPA can now be operated from battery power.
The printing capability of the fully charged battery is about 50 sheets for
check printing or about 35 pages for report printing at 25°C (77°F).
For "Showing Remaining Battery Power", refer to p. 44.
ATTENTION:
The product that you have purchased contains a recharge-
able battery. The battery is recyclable. At the end of it's
useful life, under various state and local laws, it may be SY
illegal to dispose of this battery into the municipal waste
stream. Check with your local solid waste officials for de- Ni-Cd
tails in your area for recycling options or proper disposal.

Power Supply
Notes about the rechargeable battery:
s Before initial use, or use after a long period of time (about 6 months),
recharge CPA for aboul three (3) hours.
s When the display shows "WEAK NI-CD BATTERY" several sheets of check
can be printed but recharge CPA soon.
s When the display shows "HECHARGE NI-CD BATTERY" CPA will not print.
Recharge CPA soon.
se When the display shows “INSERT AC ADAPTOR", the keys will not
function. Recharge CPA soon.
s Repetitive short-term recharging and discharging makes the battery life
shorter than usual and/or the remaining battery power may be shown
incorrectly. To solve this, continue operating CPA until the display shaws
"WEAK NI-CD BATTERY” then recharge it. For about 30 minutes after the
display shows “WEAK NI-CD BATTERY”, CPA refreshes the battery
automatically, during it, recharging the battery is not possible. Recharge
CPA for about three (3) hours including the above refreshing time period.
s The battery drains excessively when used under unusually high or low
temperature. Also, when CPA is left in an automobile for a long period of
time the battery will weaken and the battery life shortens. Use CPA wilhin
an appropriale temperalure range of 5°C (41°F) to 35°C (95°F).
SIT CPA remains unused for several months or more, the remaining battery
power shows incorrectly. The batlery has become inactive. Continue
operating CPA until the display shows "WEAK NI-CD BATTERY". Recharge
the battery for about three (3) hours.
s When you find the printable number of checks reduced after repetitive
recharging, the battery life is exhausted. Purchase a new battery pack
(KX-RC30) from your dealer.
