I give up.
How do you get the 817 to charge?
Lost my manual.
Charge menu is set for 10 hours.
Is there something to push to tell it to get started?

I believe the manual is available as a downloadable file on Yaesu's website.
Check page 11 for details on setting up the radio for charging.

I had to share for the excitement was wonderful. I am usually unable to work
many satellite passes of any kind during the week but by chance on the train
ride home from work I noticed an 81 degree pass of HO-68 at its peak
elevation this evening. I had tried before to make contacts on this
satellite unsuccessfully and so far I have only tried FM. But with this pass
so close to overhead I looked up what mode HO-68 would be in and in fact it
was to be in FM mode at that time. So for the first time I decided to try a
pass of a satellite at night and was overwhelmed to hear such clear signals.
Receiving others was easier than getting the proper az/el combinations for
uplink. Listening to my downlink helped immensely. I was absolutely floored
that my first contact on HO-68 was YV1RDX from Venezuella. About 20 mins
later and a few confirmed contacts I was so thrilled to have finally done it
that I rushed to download the recording before the batteries that were low
could possibly run out. I have only been working the satellites since about
April or so and especially since antenna restrictions limit my activities. I
am so hooked on this facet of the hobby and I can?t believe it took about 17
years to get started! It really doesn?t in fact take much...just two HT, an
Arrow II antenna, a compass, a watch, and a digital recorder. Thanks to all
that I made contact with and hope to see you all on the satellites soon!

In any case, googling "ft-817 manual" is bound to give results. I've
found Google handy for locating both user and service manuals.

Bob:
Quick answer in case you haven't been able to download a manual:
- Press the "F" function key.
- Turn the selector dial on the lower left until you see "CHG" on the
left-hand side of the menu.
- Tap the "A" key briefly to turn on the charger function (there will
be an arrow by it: >CHG
- Turn the radio off--this is important! The charger only works when
the radio is off.
- If you were successful, you'll see the TX/RX light turn orange, and
you'll see a timer countdown on the display.
- To cancel the charge function prematurely, just go the the "CHG"
function again on the display and tap the "A" key.
73 and happy Field Day,
Dave - K7DAA

From the Sumbandila team:
"Hi Guys,
We had problems with the scheduling system. So the schedules from
tomorrow onwards were not uploaded to the satellite. We are working on
the problem and will let you know as soon as we have uploaded.
Sorry for any inconvenience caused."
