Charging and/or Replacing Batteries
The PT878GC comes with self-contained, built-in rechargeable
batteries to support portable operation. For optimum
performance, these batteries require a minimum of maintenance.
Charging the Batteries
When you receive the PT878GC, you will need to initially charge
the batteries. The batteries must be charged up to 8 hours to
receive the maximum charge. When fully charged, the batteries
provide 8 hours of continuous operation. An internal battery
gauge indicates the remaining power in the batteries.
To charge the batteries, simply plug the AC power module cord
into the power jack (shown in Figure 2-2 on page 2-2) and be sure
the battery pack is installed. When the PT878GC is plugged into
line voltage, the internal battery charger automatically charges
the batteries, whether the PT878GC is on or off. If the PT878GC
is on, the Battery icon in the upper right corner of the screen
indicates battery status (as shown in Table 2-2 below).
IMPORTANT: For CE compliance, the PT878GC is classified
as a battery-powered device, not to be used with
the AC adaptor.
