3.1.4 USING THE CD-32 CHARGER CRADLE
1. Turn the transceiver off.
2. Insert the DC plug from the NC-88 into the DC jack on the CD-32 side
panel, then plug the NC-88 into the AC line outlet.
3. Insert the HX500E (with the battery pack) into the CD-32; the antenna
should be at the left side when viewing the charger from the front.
4. If the HX500E is inserted correctly, the Red indicator on the CD-32 will
glow. A fully-discharged pack will be charged completely in approximately
10 hours.
Important Note:
Do not leave the charger connected to the transceiver for continuous
periods in excess of 24 hours. Long term overcharging can degrade the
Ni-MH battery pack and significantly shorten its useful life.
5. When charging is completed, disconnect the pack from the CD-32, and
unplug the NC-88 from the AC line outlet.
3.1.5 MOUNTING THE CD-32 ON THE VESSEL
The CD-32 is designed to be surface on a vessel which can be connected to
the charger.
If mounting on a vessel, the CD-32 must be mounted in a location on the
vessel that is directly shielded from rain or splashes of water. After the loca-
tion is found, mount the CD-32 using the supplied mounting screws.
