1-6-2 Charging the NiCads
It is possible to charge the supplied NiCad
batteries while still fitted inside the AR8200
using the charging unit provided. Switch off
the AR8200 then connect the plug from the
charging unit to the 12V d.c. input socket on
the right hand side of the AR8200 cabinet.
Connect the charger to the a.c. supply and
switch the power to the charger on.
When fully discharged, the NiCad batteries
will take 12 hours to fully charge while the
AR8200 is switched off. It is possible to charge
the AR8200 while the radio is switched on and being used, however the charging cycle will take longer
(16 hours is typical) and a degree of hum superimposed on reception may be encountered as the
charger is not regulated.
The AR8200 will provide around 4 hours of continuous operation with one third volume and constant
reception. The operational time between charges will be dependant upon volume level and operating
parameters, the power save facility will also extend operating time.
If connected to an external power supply, the AR8200 many be used for continuous operation.
When the NiCads near discharge, three states will be encountered:-
1. A battery symbol will appear in the extreme top right of the LCD a couple of minutes before the
NiCads completely discharge. The operational cut-off point is difficult to determine making advance
warning brief. The legend will have one diagonal bar representing minimal charge left.
2. The LCD battery legend will become an empty outline... operation will cease almost immediately.
3. The NiCads will expire and the set will power off (the VFO frequencies and last stored memory
may be lost). Connect the charger to continue operation or replace the exhausted cells.
1-6-3 Cigar lighter lead
It is possible to use the supplied cigar lead to charge the AR8200 NiCads and to power
the radio in exactly the same manner as the a.c. charger (except that it is connected to
a vehicle 12V d.c. supply). Ensure that the vehicle has a 12V d.c. battery, do not
connect to a truck / H.G.V. 24V battery.
The tip on the cigar plug is positive (+), the vehicle must be negative ground. A 1A
fuse is fitted inside the cigar lead, should this fuse blow for some reason, ensure it is
replaced with the correct type. Avoid short circuits.
Switch off the AR8200, connect the cigar lead to the
AR8200 12V d.c. input socket THEN connect the
cigar plug to the vehicle and switch the AR8200 on.
