Operate the preamplifier with the charging cable disconnected. Connecting the PZ2 

charger will simultaneously charge both batteries. TDT recommends putting the three-

position switch in the 

OFF 

(middle) position while charging the PZ2.

Indicators

When powered on, the PZ2 battery status LEDs are also used for each battery to 

indicate which battery, if any, is charging. These LEDs are found next to the Level 

LEDs by the headings -A- and -B-. A green indicator denotes the battery bank is 

fully charged while a red indicator designates the battery is currently charging. When 

the device is in operation (charger is not connected) the -A- and -B- LEDs are 

not lit.

An external battery pack is also available to provide longer battery life for extended 

recording sessions. See “PZ-BAT External Battery Pack for the PZ Amplifiers” on 

page 6-23.
