2.2.1 Charging and Storing the Batteries
When you receive the PT878, you will need to initially charge the batteries.
Also, the battery may need recharging if it has not been used for a long
period of time. The batteries must be charged up to 8 hours to receive the
maximum charge. When fully charged, the batteries provide 8 to 10 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 on page 6) 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.
