Installation of FNB-80LI Battery Pack
The
FNB-80LI
is a high-performance Lithium-Ion bat-
tery providing high capacity in a very compact package.
Under normal use, the
FNB-80LI
may be used for ap-
proximately 300 charge cycles, after which operating time
may be expected to decrease. If you have an old battery
pack which is displaying capacity which has become di-
minished, you should replace the pack with a new one.

Battery Charging
If the battery has never been used, or its charge is depleted, it
may be charged by connecting the
NC-72B/C
Battery
Charger, as shown in the illustration, to the
EXT DC
jack. If
only 12 ~ 16 Volt DC power is
available, the optional
E-DC-5B
DC Cable (w/cigarette lighter
plug) or
E-DC-6
DC Cable may
also be used for charging the bat-
tery, as shown in the illustration.
The “
Now Charging . . .
” will
blink in the display while the battery is being charged. When
charging is finished, the display will change to indicate “
Com-
plete
” and the
BUSY/TX
indicator will blink blue.
Important Notes
:
¦
Do not leave the charger connected to the transceiver
for continuous periods in excess of 24 hours. Long
term overcharging can degrade the LI-ion battery pack
and significantly shorten its useful life.
¦
If using a charger other than the
NC-72B/C
, or if us-
ing a battery pack other than the
FNB-80LI
, 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.
Do not attempt to open any of the rechargeable
LI-ion packs, as personal injury or damage to
the LI-ion pack could occur if a cell or cells become
accidentally short-circuited.
