remove the battery pack, as shown in the battery
pack removal illustration.

fingers and nails.
Charging the Battery Pack
Cautions
z
The battery pack is rechargeable about 300 times. However, improper use such as overcharge or
over-discharge can shorten its service life.
z
The battery pack is a consumable item. Recharging the battery pack repeatedly will gradually
shorten the duration of its usage.
z
If the transceiver is not used for a long period with the battery pack installed, deterioration of the
battery pack can accelerate.
z
If you do not use the transceiver for a long period, be sure to store it with the battery pack removed.
Even if you do not use the transceiver for a long period, install the battery pack biannually and
recharge the battery pack about 50% to prevent it from over-discharging.
z
Storing the battery pack in a high-temperature place can deteriorate it faster than usual. Store the
battery pack in a place where the ambient temperature is –20 °C to +50 °C (–4 °F to +122 °F).
z
Do not drop or give a strong shock to the battery pack. It can break.
Tips
• The battery pack contains lithium-ion batteries that can be recharged for repetitive use.
• The transceiver can be used with either of the following battery packs:
(1) Accessory: FNB-101LI (7.4 V, 1,100 mAh)
(2) Option: FNB-102LI (7.4 V, 1,800 mAh)
• When the battery pack is recharged, its output voltage (about 8 V) becomes higher than the
specified value (7.4 V). This is not a failure.
