PANASONIC P6P 2500mAH / 2600mAH Ni-MH 1.2V AA
Charging State
and fault
conditions are
indicated by the
status of the
Red and Green
LEDs of each
charging bay
SUMMARY OF LED STATUS – Normal Operation
Red LED ON………………………………………Fast charging
Green LED ON…………………………………….Trickle charging
SUMMARY OF LED STATUS– Fault Conditions
Red LED Flashing…………………………………Short Circuit in battery pack
Green LED Flashing…………………………..….Cells in pack will not charge
Remove the battery pack and investigate.
OVER-TEMPERATURE
If the temperature of the battery pack exceeds approximately 60°C in fast charge
mode, the charging will revert to trickle charging. The red LED turning OFF, and
the green LED turning ON will indicate this.
Excessive heating of the battery pack may be caused by not using the
recommended batteries or by mixing batteries from more than one manufacturer.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
(1) WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not expose
this apparatus to rain or moisture.
(2) Do not use the apparatus near water.
(3) Clean only with a dry cloth.
(4) Do not block any ventilation openings. Install in accordance with the
manufacturer’s instructions.
(5) Do not expose to any heat sources such as radiators, heat registers /
vents, stoves, or other apparatus (including amplifiers) that produce heat.
Please read and
follow these
instructions before
operating the
CEL-FS-CHRGR.
Keep these
instructions for
future reference.
(6) Protect power leads from being walked on or pinched.
(7) Unplug the apparatus during lightning storms or when unused for long
periods of time.
(8) Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Servicing is required
when the apparatus has been damaged in any way, such as a powersupply cord or plug
is damaged, liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen into the
apparatus, the apparatus has been exposed to rain or moisture, does not
operate normally, or has been dropped.
CAUTION: Danger of explosion or injury if any of the batteries fitted in the
belt pack battery pack are not NiMH re-chargeable types. Do NOT use
alkaline batteries.
Replace batteries only with manufacturer’s recommended type of AA size
NiMH batteries.
INTRODUCTION
The CEL-FS-CHRGR can be used to re-charge up to five Cellcom ®
or Freespeak ® beltpack battery packs in place of the beltpacks’ internal
charging circuit. This allows a beltpack to be used with one battery pack whilst a
second battery pack is being charged. Additional battery packs and batteries can
be purchased from your Clear-Com supplier.
The CEL-FS-CHRGR features intelligent circuitry to prevent overcharging. It
optimises charging by fast charging for a period and then trickle charging.
INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS
The CEL-FS-CHRGR mains power supply requires an electrical supply of 100240VAC 50/60Hz.
INSTALLATION
Connect the power supply unit to the CEL-FS-CHRGR via the DC input on the
right side of the CEL-FS-CHRGR. Connect the correct mains adaptor for your
country to the CEL-FS-CHRGR mains power supply. Plug the adaptor in to the
mains electricity supply.
OPERATION
Insert a belt pack battery pack into one of the five charger bays with the
electrical contacts on the battery pack facing downwards. The bays are polarized
so the battery packs can only be inserted one way around.
The bay’s red LED should light to indicate fast charging is occurring.
After a period of approximately four hours for a set of exhausted batteries, the
red LED should extinguish and the green LED should light. This indicates that
fast charging is over and trickle charging has commenced. Batteries that are not
fully exhausted will take less time to charge. A battery pack can be removed for
use after the fast charge period is over but may not be fully charged until a
period of trickle charging has occurred.
Trickle charging will continue until the battery pack is removed.
The exact time period for a full charge, including trickle charge period will
depend on the original charge state of the batteries in the battery pack and the
number of charge- recharge cycles that the batteries have experienced.
Up to five battery packs can be charged independently at one time. Packs may
be inserted or removed independently of each other.
