Falcon PT40 Batteries
Battery Overview
The PT40 runs on two types of batteries. The main lithium-ion battery sup-
plies operating power for the PT40. The internal lithium battery provides
backup power to maintain the random-access memory and the real-time clock
when the main battery is discharged or removed.

When you first remove your Falcon PT40 from the box, the main battery may require
charging. Please check the charge on the battery prior to first use.
PSC recommends that you purchase two main Lithium-ion batteries and keep a spare
battery charging in the battery slot at all times. Then you only have to swap out the
batteries when the main battery runs low, rather than stopping to recharge one
battery.
Always charge the battery within the temperature range of 32°–113°F (0°–45°C).
