4.3 BATTERIES AND CHARGERS
If the radio has never been used, or its charge is depleted, it may be charged by
connecting the
CD-50
Charger Cradle with the
PA-45B
Battery Charger. The
PA-45B
Battery Charger will charge a completely discharged
FNB-115LIIS
bat-
tery pack in approximately 3 hours.
The
FNB-115LIIS
is a high performance Li-Ion battery providing high capacity
in a compact package.
CAUTION
To avoid risk of explosion and injury,
FNB-115LIIS
battery pack should
only be removed, charged or recharged in non-hazardous environments.
4.3.1 BATTERY SAFETY
Battery packs for your transceiver contain Li-Ion batteries. This type of battery
stores a charge powerful enough to be dangerous if misused or abused, espe-
cially when removed from the transceiver. Please observe the following pre-
cautions:
DO NOT SHORT BATTERY PACK TERMINALS
: Shorting the terminals that
power the transceiver can cause sparks, severe overheating, burns, and bat-
tery 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 sur-
faces 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 trans-
ceiver 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 dangerous
gases.
Battery Maintenance
For safe and proper battery use, please observe the following:
Battery packs should be charged only in non-hazardous environments;
Use only STANDARD HORIZON-approved batteries;
Use only a STANDARD HORIZON approved charger. The use of any
other charger may cause permanent damage to the battery.
Follow charging instructions provided with the chargers.
Keep the battery contacts clean and dry.
