4. GETTING STARTED
If the radio has never been used, or its charge is depleted, it may be charged
by connecting the CD-25 Charger Cradle with the NC-72 battery charger, as
shown in the illustration. If 12V DC power is available, the optional E-DC-19
DC Cable with 12 V Cigarette Lighter Plug or the optional E-DC-6 DC Cable
may be used for charging the battery. The NC-72, E-DC-19 and E-DC-6 will
charge a completely discharged FNB-80LI battery pack in about 3 hours.
4.1 BATTERIES AND CHARGERS
The FNB-80LI is a high performance Lithium-Ion battery providing high ca-
pacity in a very compact package.
CAUTION
To avoid risk of explosion and injury, FNB-80LI battery pack should only
be removed, charged or recharged in non-hazardous environments.
4.1.1 BATTERY SAFETY
Battery packs for your transceiver contain Lithium-Ion batteries. This type of
battery stores a charge powerful enough to be dangerous if misused or
abused, especially when removed from the transceiver. Please observe the
following precautions:
DO NOT SHORT BATTERY PACK TERMINALS: Shorting the terminals
that power the transceiver can cause sparks, severe overheating, burns,
and battery cell damage. If the short is of sufficient duration, it is possible to
melt battery components. Do not place a loose battery pack on or near metal
surfaces or objects such as paper clips, keys, tools, etc. When the battery
pack is installed on the transceiver, the terminals that transfer current to the
transceiver are not exposed. The terminals that are exposed on the battery
pack when it is mounted on the transceiver are charging terminals only and
do 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 13
Battery Maintenance
For 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 VERTEX
STANDARD) approved charger. The use of any other charger may
cause permanent damage to the battery.
rFollow charging instructions provided with the chargers.
rKeep the battery contacts clean.
Battery Storage
Store batteries in a cool place to maximize storage life. Since batteries are
subject to self-discharge, avoid high storage temperatures that cause large
self-discharge rates. After extended storage, a full recharge is recommended.
Battery Recycling
DO 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 the
municipal solid waste stream is PROHIBITED BY LAW in most areas.
Return batteries to an approved lithium-ion battery recycler. This may be
where you purchased the battery.
Contact your local waste management officials for other information regarding
the environmentally sound collection, recycling and disposal of lithium-ion bat-
teries.

4.1.2 BATTERY CHARGING
If the radio has never been used, or its charge is depleted, it may be charged
by connecting the CD-25 Charger Cradle with the NC-72 battery charger, as
shown in the illustration. If 12V DC power is available, the optional E-DC-19
DC Cable with 12 V Cigarette Lighter Plug or the optional E-DC-6 DC Cable
may be used for charging the battery. The NC-72, E-DC-19 and E-DC-6 will

4.1.4 USING THE CD-25 CHARGER CRADLE
1. Turn the transceiver off.
2. Insert the DC plug from the NC-72 into the DC jack on the CD-25 rear
panel, then plug the NC-72 into the AC line outlet.
3. Insert the HX470S (with the battery pack) into the CD-25; the antenna
should be at the left side when viewing the charger from the front.
4. If the HX470S is inserted correctly, the Red “CHARGING” indicator will
glow. A fully-discharged pack will be charged completely in approximately
3 hours.
5. The Red “CHARGING” indicator will blink when charging is nearing
completion.
6. When charging is completed, the Red “CHARGING” indicator will disap-
pear, and the Green “FULL” indicator will glow. Disconnect the pack from
the CD-25, and unplug the NC-72 from the AC line outlet.
4.1.5 MOUNTING THE CD-25 ON THE VESSEL
The CD-25 is designed to be surface or wall mounted on a vessel which can
be connected to the charger and a GPS that supplies NMEA data for DSC
Distress transmissions.
If mounting on a vessel the CD-25 must be mounted in a location on the
vessel 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 16
When 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 out
due to rough seas. See the illustration below.
HX470S Page 17
4.2 CONNECTING A GPS TO THE CD-25
The CD-25 is supplied with a cable that is designed to be connected to any
GPS 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 shown
below.
Blue – NMEA Input
(Connects to NMEA Out of GPS)
Green – NMEA Negative
(Connects to NMEA Negative or battery Ground of GPS)
