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.
Install the
FNB-80LI
as shown in the illustration.
Close the Battery Pack Latch on the bottom of the
radio.

Battery Charging
If the battery has never been used, or its charge is depleted,
it may be charged by connecting the
PA-48B/C
Battery
Charger, as shown in the illus-
tration, to the
EXT DC
jack. If
only 12 ~ 15 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 battery, as shown in the illustration. “

Charging . . .
” will blink in the display while the battery is
being charged. When charging is finished (approximately
five hours), the display will change to indicate “
Complete
”
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
PA-48B/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 recharge-
able LI-ion packs, as personal injury or dam-
age to the LI-ion pack could occur if a cell or cells be-
come accidentally short-circuited.
