Preparing the transceiver for use
Manpack Transceiver 2110 series Getting Started Guide 25
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.
Requirements for alternative chargers
The Codan battery packs may be charged using alternative
supplies, for example, third-party solar panels or hand-
powered battery chargers. In this situation, the voltage level
must not exceed 15.5 V and the current must be within 1–3 A.
These chargers must be connected between pin B (charge in)
and pin A (ground) on the connector on the battery pack.
Notes on charging batteries
A battery pack requires 3–5 discharge/recharge cycles when
new before it reaches its full capacity. In order to increase the
battery service life, it is recommended that the battery pack is
not fully discharged during each cycle. Full discharge should
only be carried out periodically as follows:
For the periodic full discharge cycle, run the battery pack
down to zero capacity using the transceiver. The transceiver
will switch off automatically when the battery pack is fully
discharged.
NOTE
It will take approximately 16 seconds
following appropriate connections, for the
3121, 3122, solar and hand-powered
battery chargers to commence charging the
battery pack.
Type Full discharge
NiMH Two full discharge/recharge cycles every 20 charge
cycles
SLA One full discharge/recharge cycle every 20 charge
cycles
