3.3 USING THE NC-88 BATTERY CHARGER
1. Install the supplied FNB-83 battery pack on the rear of the HX270E .
Ensure that the transceiver is switched off.
2. Plug the NC-88 Overnight Charger into the
AC line outlet, then insert the cable plug
into the jack located on the side panel of
the
CD-26 Charger Cradle.
3. Insert the transceiver and battery pack into
the CD-26 ; the antenna jack should be at
the left side when viewing the charger from
the front.
4. If the transceiver and battery pack are in-
serted correctly, the Red indicator on the
CD-26 will glow. A fully-discharged pack will
be charged completely in 10 hours.
Important Notes :
P
The NC-88 is not designed to power the transceiver for operation (re-
ception or transmission).
P
Do not leave the charger connected to the transceiver for continuous
periods in excess of 24 hours. Long term overcharging can degrade the
Ni-MH battery pack and significantly shorten its useful life.
P
If using a charger other than the NC-88 / CD-26 , or if using a battery pack
other than the FNB-83 , follow the appropriate instructions provided with
the charger/battery. Contact your Dealer if you have any doubts about
the appropriateness of the particular charger or battery pack you intend
to use.
