HX470SPage 124. GETTING STARTEDIf the radio has never been used, or its charge is depleted, it may be chargedby connecting the CD-25 Charger Cradle with the NC-72 battery charger, asshown in the illustration. If 12V DC power is available, the optional E-DC-19DC Cable with 12 V Cigarette Lighter Plug or the optional E-DC-6 DC Cablemay be used for charging the battery. The NC-72, E-DC-19 and E-DC-6 willcharge a completely discharged FNB-80LI battery pack in about 3 hours.4.1 BATTERIES AND CHARGERSThe FNB-80LI is a high performance Lithium-Ion battery providing high ca-pacity in a very compact package.CAUTIONTo avoid risk of explosion and injury, FNB-80LI battery pack should onlybe removed, charged or recharged in non-hazardous environments.4.1.1 BATTERY SAFETYBattery packs for your transceiver contain Lithium-Ion batteries. This type ofbattery stores a charge powerful enough to be dangerous if misused orabused, especially when removed from the transceiver. Please observe thefollowing precautions:DO NOT SHORT BATTERY PACK TERMINALS: Shorting the terminalsthat power the transceiver can cause sparks, severe overheating, burns,and battery cell damage. If the short is of sufficient duration, it is possible tomelt battery components. Do not place a loose battery pack on or near metalsurfaces or objects such as paper clips, keys, tools, etc. When the batterypack is installed on the transceiver, the terminals that transfer current to thetransceiver are not exposed. The terminals that are exposed on the batterypack when it is mounted on the transceiver are charging terminals only anddo not constitute a hazard.DO NOT INCINERATE: Do not dispose of any battery in a fire or incinerator.The heat of fire may cause battery cells to explode and/or release danger-ous gases.
HX470S Page 13Battery MaintenanceFor safe and proper battery use, please observe the following:rBattery packs should be charged only in non-hazardous environments;rUse only STANDARD HORIZON-approved batteries;rUse only a STANDARD HORIZON, (a Marine Division of VERTEXSTANDARD) approved charger. The use of any other charger maycause permanent damage to the battery.rFollow charging instructions provided with the chargers.rKeep the battery contacts clean.Battery StorageStore batteries in a cool place to maximize storage life. Since batteries aresubject to self-discharge, avoid high storage temperatures that cause largeself-discharge rates. After extended storage, a full recharge is recommended.Battery RecyclingDO NOT PLACE USED BATTERIES IN YOUR REGULAR TRASH!LITHIUM-ION BATTERIES MUST BE COLLECTED, RECYCLED OR DIS-POSED OF IN AN ENVIRONMENTALLY SOUND MANNER.The incineration, land filling or mixing of nickel-cadmium batteries with themunicipal solid waste stream is PROHIBITED BY LAW in most areas.Return batteries to an approved lithium-ion battery recycler. This may bewhere you purchased the battery.Contact your local waste management officials for other information regardingthe environmentally sound collection, recycling and disposal of lithium-ion bat-teries.

Insert the HX470S (with the battery pack) into the CD-25; the antennashould be at the left side when viewing the charger from the front.4. If the HX470S is inserted correctly, the Red “CHARGING” indicator willglow. A fully-discharged pack will be charged completely in approximately3 hours.5. The Red “CHARGING” indicator will blink when charging is nearingcompletion.6. When charging is completed, the Red “CHARGING” indicator will disap-pear, and the Green “FULL” indicator will glow. Disconnect the pack fromthe CD-25, and unplug the NC-72 from the AC line outlet.4.1.5 MOUNTING THE CD-25 ON THE VESSELThe CD-25 is designed to be surface or wall mounted on a vessel which canbe connected to the charger and a GPS that supplies NMEA data for DSCDistress transmissions.If mounting on a vessel the CD-25 must be mounted in a location on thevessel that is directly shielded from rain or splashes of water. After the loca-tion is found mount the CD-25 using the supplied mounting screws.CD-25 Desktop Mount CD-25 Wall Mount
HX470SPage 16When using the HX470S/CD-25 on the vessel, be sure to secure the mount-ing band on the CD-25 so that it secures the HX470S so it will not fall outdue to rough seas. See the illustration below.
HX470S Page 174.2 CONNECTING A GPS TO THE CD-25The CD-25 is supplied with a cable that is designed to be connected to anyGPS that has an NMEA Output with the GLL, GGA, GNS, or RMC sen-tences. Check with the owner’s manual of the GPS to confirm this informa-tion. The NMEA input cable on the CD-25 contains two wires, uses are shownbelow.Blue – NMEA Input (Connects to NMEA Out of GPS)Green – NMEA Negative (Connects to NMEA Negative or battery Ground of GPS)If you have further inquires, please feel free to contact us at:Phone: (800) 767-2450Fax: (714) 527-9031Web site: standardhorizon.comEmail: marinetech@vxstdusa.comTo connect to a GPS receiver, please use the above chart that will help youconnect the wires between the CD-25 and the GPS.
