6 PB50 Portable Label Printer User’s Guide
Understanding the Backlight
The screen backlight on the PB50 behaves the same way as a
screensaver on your PC. After a set amount of time elapses
without any user interaction, the backlight goes off. The screen
backlight turns on when:
• the printer begins printing.
• you press a button.
• you connect the printer to external power.
You can change the amount of time to have elapse before the
backlight turns off using the Setup menu. Options for backlight
are always off, always on, 5 seconds, 10 seconds, 20 seconds, 30
seconds, or 60 seconds.
Using the Batteries
The PB50 uses a rechargeable 2200 mAh lithium-ion battery
(Model AB13) for power. You must fully charge the battery
before you can use the PB50. A fully charged battery can last up
to one week without needing to be recharged.
Dispose of used batteries promptly. Keep away from children.
Installing the Battery
Make sure you fully charge the battery before you use your PB50.
You can charge the battery before or after you install them into
the PB50.

1 Lay the PB50 upside down on a flat surface.
