in Cradle
To insert the NavTalk Pilot into the NavTalk
Pilot Cradle:
The NavTalk Pilot cradle secures the NavTalk Pilot in
place when not in use or when holding the unit is not
required. A locking assembly provides a secure mount to
prevent disengagement. Two hooks at the base of the
cradle provide for storage of the adapter cable when not
connected to the unit.
1. Insert the NavTalk Pilot in the cradle by guiding the
unit onto the two flanges on the base of the cradle
and then pivoting back while pushing down until it
clicks into place.
2. Slide the locking assembly up to secure the unit in
place. Slide the locking assembly down and then
press in on the two tabs on each side of the cradle
to remove the unit.
3. When removing the NavTalk Pilot from the aircraft,
place the adapter cable over the two hooks at the
bottom of the cradle for secure storage.
Charging the battery using the aircraft
adapter:
The aircraft adapter provides power to operate the
NavTalk Pilot whenever it is connected to the aircraft
adapter cord and aircraft power is turned on. Power is
switched from battery to the adapter and the battery is
fast charged (unless completely depleted, then a trickle
charge will begin to protect the battery from damage) and
when completely charged, a trickle charge will keep the
battery “topped off”. A safety feature terminates the fast
charge after three hours if the charging process has not
already completed. Fast charging is operational only if
the battery temperature is between 32 and 100 degrees F
and voltage limits are between 3.0 VDC and 6.0 VDC. If
fast charging is disallowed because of these factors, then
trickle charging begins. When the aircraft power is
turned off, charging will stop. When fast charging the
Battery Status icon will appear as a ( ). See page 19
for Power/Battery Status information.
