Charging
Charging of the
FNB-85
requires the use of either the supplied battery charger (
NC-72B/
C
or
PA-48C/U
), or an external 13.8 Volt (±15%) DC source. If the battery charger is used,
the
FT-817
ND
must be turned off during charging; if an external 13.8 Volt DC source is
used (connected via the supplied
E-DC-6
cable), then you may operate the
FT-817
ND
while
charging is in progress.
1. Turn the
FT-817
ND
off (see page 18), then connect the supplied battery charger DC
connector to the

jack on the rear panel of the
FT-817
ND
.
2. Plug the battery charger into the nearest AC wall outlet.
3. Press the
FT-817
ND
’s
switch for one second to turn the transceiver on.
4. Press the
key momentarily.
5. Rotate the
knob so that the function row containing “[
CHG
,
VLT
,
DSP

on the display.
6. Press the
key to select the
[

option (the display will immediately revert to the
regular frequency display).
7. Turn the
FT-817
ND
off. You will now observe that the LED just
above the main tuning dial is glowing Orange, and the display
will indicate “
CHG TIME RMN
” and remaining time to indicate
the time remaining before a full charge is achieved on the
FNB-
85
.
