2.8 Battery – Charging and Using
IMPORTANT: If you replace the original PGM-IR battery, refer to the installation instructions
included in the replacement kit, as the new replacement battery and cable may differ from the
original cable and battery.
IMPORTANT: Cables and sockets are sized appropriately. As general rules of thumb:
•
Note the initial orientation of your power cable, and
•
Never force a connector into a socket.

2.8.1 Charging the Battery

The monitor is powered by a rechargeable battery pack located in a pouch on the side of the monitor's soft
carrying case. The battery pack can be recharged at any time, regardless of the battery's current charge state. The
lithium-ion battery will likely be partially charged. However, you should fully charge the battery prior to operating
the PGM-IR. Refer to the battery manufacturer's instruction sheet for the proper charging procedure.

2.8.2 Using the Battery

To properly use the battery, follow the steps below.
1. The PGM-IR is designed for a 16VDC input. Set battery voltage output to 16V (refer to the battery
manufacturer's instruction sheet for details).
2. The battery pack provided with your PGM-IR uses a power cable with a straight connector and a
90-degree elbow connector. The battery provided with your PGM-IR may differ slightly from the photos
shown in this manual, however, the 90-degree elbow connector must ALWAYS be the connector used to
supply power to the PGM-IR. Refer to the figure below.
3. Ensure that the battery is powered ON per the instruction label on the battery pack.
4. Verify that the battery is properly connected to the PGM-IR (see above).
A fully charged battery pack will power the monitor for a minimum of 8 hours.
