Bridge battery

An internal rechargeable nickel-cadmium bridge

PTC's RAM memory if the unit is disconnected from
AC or vehicle power. The bridge battery can protect
the PTC's memory for at least 60 hours, depending on
the memory's size. It is recharged automatically while
the unit is receiving power.
The bridge battery's condition is checked every time
the PTC is turned on. If bridge battery power is low,
the PTC beeps five times. If you hear these beeps or
if the PTC has been disconnected from AC or vehicle
power for over 60 hours, reconnect the power and

bridge battery no longer holds a charge, send your
PTC to an authorized Telxon service center to have
the bridge battery replaced. The center will insert a
new bridge battery into your PTC and follow the
