CD-15A Rapid Charger

The 

CD-15A

 is a Rapid Charger that enables recharging of the Lithium-ion Battery Packs 

for the Yaesu transceiver

.

Operation

1.  Insert the DC plug from the 

SAD-11B

PA-48B

PA-48C

 or 

PA-48U

 into the DC jack on 

the 

CD-15A

 rear panel, then plug the 

SAD-11B

PA-48B

PA-48C

 or 

PA-48U

 into the 

AC line outlet.

2.  Insert the battery pack into the 

CD-15A

. If charging with the transceiver attached, 

the antenna jack should be at the left side when viewing the charger from the front. If 

charging a pack alone (not attached to the transceiver), refer to the illustration below 

for details on proper positioning of the pack; align the slot of the battery pack with the 

guide in the nest of the 

CD-15A

.

3.   If the battery pack is inserted correctly, the Red “

CHARGING

” indicator will glow.

 

A fully-discharged 

FNB-80LI

 battery pack will be charged completely in approximate-

ly 2.5 hours.

4.  When charging is completed, the Red “

CHARGING

” indicator will disappear, and the  

Green “

FULL

” indicator will glow. Disconnect the pack from the 

CD-15A

, and unplug 

the 

SAD-11B

PA-48B

PA-48C

 or 

PA-48U

 from the AC line outlet.

Important Notes!

  Do not connect an improper charger. Use only the 

SAD-11B

PA-48B

PA-48C

 or 

PA-

48U

 with the 

CD-15A

.

  Do not charge an improper battery (one not specifically designed for use in the 

CD-

15A

).

  Disconnect the pack from the 

CD-15A

, and unplug the 

SAD-11B

PA-48B

PA-48C

 or 

PA-48U

 from the AC line outlet, when charging is completed.

 The 

SAD-11B

PA-48B

PA-48C

 or 

PA-48U

 and/or 

CD-15A

 will generate a moderate 

amount of heat during the charging process. This is a normal condition.

 The 

SAD-11B

PA-48B

PA-48C

 or 

PA-48U

 is not designed to power the transceiver 

for transmission.

Caution!!

  When charging a battery pack alone (not attached to the transceiver), do not allow 

any metal object to short the terminals on top of the pack.

  Do not allow any metal objects to short the terminals in the nest of the 

CD-15A

, as a 

short-circuit could cause overheating of the charger circuitry.
