2-6 Initial Setup
Replacing the Batteries
Caution!
Replace batteries only with the specified
rechargeable batteries. The battery charges when
the unit is off. Do not attempt to recharge non-
rechargeable batteries.
If you need to replace the rechargeable batteries, use 5 Cs-size
NiCad high energy rechargeable batteries (GE Panametrics Part
Number 200-058) or 3.0 Ahr NiMH batteries (part number 200-
081). To replace the batteries, remove the rubber boot, open the
panel located on the back of the PT878GC unit, disconnect the
batteries, and replace with new ones (see Figure 2-3 below).

To further extend the battery power on the PT878GC, the GE
Panametrics Part #705-1283 power pack option uses 6 AA
alkaline batteries.
