Battery Charging
If the battery has never been used, or its charge is depleted, it may be charged by con-
necting the
SAD-11B
or
PA-48
AC Wall Charger, as shown in the illustration, to the
EXT DC
jack. If only 12 ~ 14 Volt DC power is available, the optional
SDD-11
DC/DC
Converter (with its cigarette lighter plug) or
E-DC-6
DC Cable may also be used for
charging the battery.
The display will indicate “
CHRG
”, while the battery is being charged. When charging is
completed, the “
CHRG
” indication disappears from the display.
A fully-discharged pack will be charged completely in 5 hours. Disconnect the
SAD-
11B
or
PA-48
from the
EXT DC
jack and the AC line outlet.
