Vertex Standard CD-47 Installation Manual

CD-47 Desktop Charger
This Desktop Charger enables charging of Ni-Cd and Ni-MH Battery Pack* for Vertex Standard
transceivers. This Desktop Charger requires the optional PA-43C/U AC Adapter.
Operation
1. Referring to Figure 1, insert the DC plug from the optional PA-43C/U
AC Adapter into the DC jack on the rear panel of the CD-47 Desktop
Charger, and then wind the DC cable of the PA-43C/U AC Adapter into
the slit of the CD-47 Desktop Charger to prevent the DC plug from
disconnecting.
2. Plug the PA-43C/U AC Adapter into the AC line outlet.
3. Insert the battery pack into the CD-47 Desktop Charger while aligning
the slots of the battery pack with the guides in the nest of the CD-47
(refer to Figure 2 for details on proper positioning of the pack). If charg
ing with the transceiver attached, turn the transceiver off. The antenna
jack should be at the left side when viewing the charger from the front.
If the battery pack is inserted correctly, the LED indicator will glow red.
A fully-discharged pack will charge completely in 1.5 - 3.5 hours (de
pending on the battery being charged).
When charging is completed, the LED indicator will change to green.
Even if the charging is completed, the LED indicator will sometimes
change to red for trickle charging.
Disconnect the pack from the CD-47 Desktop Charger and unplug
the PA-43 AC Adapter from the AC line outlet.
