B AT T E RY CHARGER
The pilot lamps on the battery charger should always be on during the
charging operation. If they are not, check to make sure you have
turned off both the transmitter and receiver.
Do not use the charger for equipment other than this system. The
charging plug polarity may not be the same and equipment damage
may result. Do not use other manufacturers’ after-market accessories
that plug into the transmitter’s charging jack. If you do, any damage
that results will not be covered by the warranty. If you are unsure of
compatibilities with your radio, seek expert advice before doing any-
thing to avoid possible damage. During the charging operation, the
charger’s temperature is slightly elevated. This is normal.
Special note on EXPERT transmitter charge polarity:
7. CHARGING YOUR EXPERT RADIO SYSTEM PRIOR TO INSTA L L AT I O N
Your EXPERT Radio System is shipped from the factory with both the
transmitter and receiver NiCad batteries in a discharged state. Before
attempting to install/operate your EXPERT system, it is important that
the system be charged for approximately 24 hours to ensure that both
transmitter and receiver packs are at peak capacity. Under normal conditions, subsequent recharging of your EXPERT system
will require only an overnight charge (approximately 16 hours) to
attain peak charge capacity.
The charger supplied with this system is designed to recharge your
transmitter and receiver battery packs at a rate of 50mAh.
The center pin of the charge receptacle on this radio system is Negative
polarity. Therefore, the center pin is negative, not positive. Your radio
system’s charge polarity is reversed from many other manufacturers
chargers. Beware of improper polarity connections based on “color
code” wire leads as they DO NOT APPLY in this instance.
You must always be certain that the center pin on any charger used
with this system is wired for negative polarity, otherwise damage will
occur to the charge circuit of the EXPERT. The Expert warranty does not
cover any system that is damaged by reverse polarity charging.
