Preparing the 2110 SSB Transceiver for use
16 2110 SSB Transceiver Getting Started Guide
Charging a battery
Before using your transceiver, you must ensure that the
supplied battery is fully charged. You may use an AC–DC or
DC–DC charger with the battery. The AC–DC charger (Type
3121) uses a universal AC mains input of 90–264 VAC. The
DC–DC battery charger (Type 3122) may be powered from
any 12–60 V DC source, for example, from a vehicle 12 V DC
outlet, or from a 24 V vehicle battery.
The Codan battery chargers are specially designed for low-
noise operation, so receiver performance remains optimal
while charging the battery via the front panel. You can
continue to use your transceiver during battery charging.

CAUTION
Charging is recommended between 0 and 40°C.
The battery will not commence charging if the
temperature is at or above 40°C. If charging is
already in progress, and the temperature rises to
50°C, charging will be stopped automatically.
CAUTION
To prevent damage to the battery, Codan
recommends the use of the Codan battery
chargers to charge the battery pack.
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.
