The radio is shipped with a sealed Li-Polymer battery pack that is rechargeable.

WARNING

The charger provided for this radio is only to be used to charge the battery pack provided. DO NOT charge any other type of batteries in the charger as ﬁre, explosion or battery damage will occur. Avoiding extreme room temperature will also help prolong the life of the battery pack for the radio.

3-1-1 Installing the Battery Pack

Position the battery pack to line up the three external alignment tabs to the alignment 1. slots in the radio.

Engage the battery pack into the radio until battery pack is fully seated against the radio housing.

Pivot the locking tab up until it snaps into place on the back of the battery pack.

3-1-2 Initial Charge

You can either charge the Li-Polymer battery pack when it is attached to the radio or separated:

Lowrance - LHR-80 Installation and Op 13

Plug in the AC/DC wall charger- check the voltage is correct for your wall charger.1.

NMEA( )(BLACK)

NMEA(+)(RED)

GPS NAVIGATION RECEIVER

Connect the charging wire into the charging socket on the cradle charger.2.

Insert the entire radio or the separated battery pack into the cradle charger. The metal 3. charge contacts on the radio will contact the mating prongs in the charger to transfer the charging current.

Observe that the red light on the front of the charger glows to indicate that the battery pack is properly seated and the charger is operating.

Allow the batteries to charge for about 2.5 to 3 hours before use. The light will change back to green when the battery is fully charged.

CAUTION

To maximise battery life: remove the battery from the charger after approximately 3.5 hours. Overcharging batteries may result in damage to both the battery pack and radio.

3-1-3 GPS Connector

Lowrance - LHR-80 Installation and Operation Instructions14

This radio supports NMEA0183 for outputting the GPS signal. You can use the GPS connector to connect the radio and some GPS navigation receiver, such as chart plotter.

Insert one single port of the GPS connector cord into the NMEA socket of the cradle 1. charger.

The other port of the GPS connector, which is branched into two wires, connects to the 2. GPS navigation receiver. Red means NMEA OUT(+); Black means NMEAOUT(-).

Wire Color Function

Red NMEA OUT(+)

Black NMEA OUT(-)

3-1-4 Mounting Battery Charger to flat surface

Section 5 - Sending and Receiving DSC Calls (US only)

5-1 What is DSC?

Digital Selective Calling (DSC) is a semi-automated method of establishing a radio call. It has been assigned by the International Maritime Organization (IMO) as an international standard for establishing VHF, MF and HF radio calls.

It had also been assigned as part of the Global Maritime Distress and Safety System (GMDSS). It is planned that DSC will eventually replace aural watches on distress frequencies and will be used to broadcast routine and urgent maritime safety information.

This new service will also allow mariners to initiate or receive distress, urgency, safety and routine calls to or from another vessel that is equipped with a DSC transceiver.

Calls can be categorized as distress, urgency, safety, or routine and DSC. It selects a working channel automatically.

Details of the 20 most recent incoming DSC calls are stored in your call log.

Details of the 10 most recent distress calls are stored in your distress log.

CAUTION

Due to EU regulations, DSC is not available in the LHR-80E (EU) model.

5-1-1 Maritime Mobile Service Identity

An MMSI is a nine-digit number used on Marine Transceiver capable of using Digital Selective Calling (DSC). This number is used like a telephone number to selectively call other vessels.

5-1-2 How can I obtain a MMSI assignment?

Contact your local dealer.

Lowrance - LHR-80 Installation and Operation Instructions48

WARNING

This radio is designed to generate a digital maritime distress and safety call to facilitate search and rescue. To be eﬀective as a safety device, this equipment must be used only within communication range of a shore – based VHF marine channel 70 distress and safety watch system.
