Storing the Batteries

Installation & Operation
IMPORTANT: To ensure the maximum charge, charge the batteries in
an ambient temperature of 50 to 104°F (10 to 40°C).
To charge the batteries, simply plug the AC power module cord into
the power jack (shown in Figure 1-1 on page 1-2) and be sure the
battery pack is installed. When the PT878 is plugged into line voltage,
the internal battery charger automatically charges the batteries,
whether the PT878 is ON or OFF. If the PT878 is ON, the Battery
icon in the upper right corner of the screen indicates battery status (as
shown in Table 1-2 below).
Note: For version 1B of the PT878 software, you must also press
the red power key in the upper right corner of the keypad.
