Introduction

This charger is constructed solely to charge 7.2V
Nickel Cadmium batteries made for the maritime
portable VHF/UHF radio manufactured by ECI.

The charger has two charging position. The front
position is designed for a portable radio mounted
with a battery.

The rear charging position is not normally
connected, and is employed as a storage for a
spare battery or an emergency battery.

1. Connect the charger to a 230V AC source.

2. Switch on the charger by pressing down on the
ON/OFF switch thereby conducting voltage to
the automatic charger.

3. Insert the battery-mounted radio in the front
charging position. The radio must be switched
OFF during the charging time.

4. Press the CHAR switch downwards to start the
charger and the 14 hour timer.

5. The charger automatically checks the battery
type, which can be either 700mAh or 1200mAh.

6. If the charger accepts the battery, the indicator
for the charging position in use will light up a
constant red.

7. After 14 hours, the battery is fully charged and
the indicator will flash green. By means of a
weak current, the charger subsequently main­tains the battery’s charge for as long as it re­mains in the charger. The battery is therefore
always ready for use.

8. The charging process can always be interrupted
by switching off the charger at the ON/OFF
switch or by removing the radio. In such case, it
is necessary to press the CHAR switch in order
to start a new 14-hour charging period.

9. If left in the charger, the battery will not be
damaged as the charger maintains the battery
by means of a trickle charge when the 14 hours
have expired.

10. By pressing the DIM switch, the charging indica­tor can be switched on and off alternately. This
has no effect on the charging process, and is
intended solely for use on board vessels where
required.
If the charging indicator does not light up when
a radio is inserted into the charging position and
the CHAR switch is activated, this might be
because the charging indicator has been
switched off by the DIM switch.
