2.2.2 Battery Charger Setup for Use Outside the United States
To use the battery charger outside the United States, in countries requiring a 230
Volt AC adapter, modify the 230VAC adapter as follows. The 24VDC power supply
will work with an input AC voltage of 100-240VAC.
 Connect an electrical plug to the wires on the power cable according to color codes
(Brown = live, Blue = neutral, Green with yellow stripes = ground).
 Plug the other end of the power cable into the AC adapter.
 Cut the connector off the AC adapter cable. Cut the spade lugs off the brown and
blue wires of the battery charger cable and cut the green/yellow ground wire as
short as possible. No ground wire will be used. Strip enough of the insulation from
the wires of both cables so they can be spliced. Splice the AC adapter cable wires to
the brown and blue “AC” wires of the battery charger cable. Cover the splice with
electrical tape or shrink tubing.
 Plug the electrical plug into an AC electrical outlet. The red lights will come on and
go off, then the yellow lights will come on and stay on.
2.2.3 Battery Charging
Insert up to four COMMUNICATOR
®
batteries into the charging ports to be charged
while you are installing the other equipment. When they are fully charged, install
them in the Communicators. Battery charging time is about 2 hours.
CAUTION: Do not remove batteries from the charger until the green READY
light is lit, or the charger will reset and the charge cycle will begin again.
