Charging a battery
To charge a battery:
1
Do one of the following:
• For 2110 Manpack Transceivers with the battery attached to the transceiver, use
cable 08-06215-001 to connect the output of the 3121, 3122, solar or hand-
powered battery charger to the 19-way connector on the front panel of the
transceiver.
• For 2110v Manpack Transceivers with the battery attached to the transceiver,
use cable 08-06738-001 to connect the output of the 3121, 3122, solar or hand-
powered battery charger to the 5-way connector on the front panel of the
transceiver.
• If the battery is detached from the transceiver, use cable 08-06214-001 to
connect the output of any of the Codan battery chargers to the 6-way connector
on the top of the battery pack.
1
Connect the charger to an appropriate power source.
If the transceiver is operational during charging, the battery status indicator on the
front panel screen shows that the battery pack is charging. When charging is
complete, the battery status indicator is full.
WARNING
The battery pack should be charged with the connector facing upward and
the vents clear of obstructions so that any gas created during the charging
process is released.
CAUTION
Provide clear notification that charging is underway. Ensure there is
adequate ventilation around the battery during charging.
NOTE
If the voltage of the battery is below 10 V, the OUTPUT LED on the
charger flashes orange for a period of time before charging commences.
The
LED may also flash during this period.
NOTE
The 3123 Fast AC Battery Charger cannot be used to charge a
battery pack via the front panel of the transceiver.
NOTE
If you are using a solar battery charger, ensure that the panel is
oriented at right angles to the rays of the sun.
NOTE
If you are using a hand-powered battery charger, strap it to a tree, or
attach it to the stand provided.
NOTE
It takes approximately 16 seconds following appropriate connections
for the 3121, 3122, solar and hand-powered battery chargers to
commence charging the battery pack.
