Chapter 1. Getting Started

1.1 Charging the Battery Pack

The PM880 is powered by a rechargeable NiMH battery pack. When you
receive the PM880, you will need to fully charge the pack. The pack must
be charged for 4-5 hours, until the amber LED on the charger goes out, to
receive the maximum charge. When fully charged, the pack provides 16 to
24 hours of continuous operation, depending on the probe type and the
PM880 usage. An internal battery gauge indicates the remaining power in
the pack.
Before charging the battery pack, make sure the charger is properly
configured. Use the instructions below:
