30 Manpack Transceiver 2110 series Reference Manual
To charge a battery:
1 Use the information in Table 6 to connect the charger using the correct cable to the
transceiver or 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.
