On 2009-10-26 at 15:03 UT, the RXTE PCA made its first pointed observation of the newly discovered transient source XTE J1752-223 (ATels #2258, #2259, #2261, #2263, #2265, #2268). The PCA spectrum is consistent with the source being in the black hole low-hard state dominated by a power law component with photon index 1.38 +/- 0.01 with a weak black body with kT=0.83+/-0.01 keV. A prominent iron line is also seen at ~6.4 keV, with equivalent width of 95 eV.
