Preparing the transceiver for use
28 Manpack Transceiver 2110 series Reference Manual
Charging a battery pack
Before using your transceiver, you must ensure that the supplied battery pack is fully
charged. You may use:
• a 3121 AC Battery Charger (1 A), which uses a universal AC mains input of 90 to
240 V AC
• a 3122/3522 DC Battery Charger (1 A), which may be powered from any 12 to
60 V DC source (for example, from a 12 V DC outlet in a vehicle, or from a 24 V
vehicle battery)
• a 3123/3523 Fast AC Battery Charger (3 A), which uses a universal AC mains input
of 90 to 240 V AC
• a solar battery charger and lead (1 A, in full sunlight)
• a hand-powered battery charger (1 A at 60 rpm)
The Codan 3121 AC Battery Charger and 3122/3522 DC Battery Chargers are specially
designed for low-noise operation, so receiver performance remains optimal while
charging the battery pack via the front panel. You can continue to use your transceiver
during charging when these chargers are used.
NOTE The 3522 and 3523 battery chargers are ruggedised products.
NOTE
The 3123/3523 Fast AC Battery Charger connects directly to the battery
pack for charging. You cannot use this charger through the 19-way or
5-way connector on the front panel of the transceiver.
CAUTION
Charging is recommended between 0 and 40°C (104°F). The battery will
not commence charging if the temperature is at or above 40°C (104°F). If
charging is already in progress, and the temperature rises to 50°C (122°F),
charging is stopped automatically.
CAUTION
To prevent damage to the battery, Codan recommends the use of the
Codan battery chargers to charge the battery pack.
