This section describes how to charge the Silvus battery.
Take the Silvus charging dock and the charging cable out of the lower right compartment of the flight case.
Connect the power adapter to the charging dock.
Connect the power adapter to a power outlet.
The Silvus battery can be charged either while assembled with the radio modem and antennas or by charging the battery alone. Place the unit in one of the available charging slots (A or B) in the charging dock.
When charging the radio in its fully assembled state, make sure to power down the radio before charging.
While charging, the LED indicators will blink yellow. When charging is complete, the LEDs will be solid green.
The Silvus charging dock can be used as a stand-alone stand during field operations when a flat and stable surface is not available. Do not charge the battery while using the dock as a stand and when the Silvus radio is powered on.
