Notes
• Cameo batteries must be cycled several times
before maximum capacity is realized.
• A battery is ”cycled” by fully charging it, then
fully discharging it through normal use.
•For most consistent results, remove the
Battery Pack from the Printer when charging.
• Please refer to the “Safety Guide” included
with this product for more information on
battery and charger safety.
