The

FNB-82LI

is a high-performance Lithium-Ion battery providing high capacity in a

very

compact package. Under normal use, the

FNB-82LI

may be used for approximately

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 diminished, you should
replace the pack with a new one.

Installation of the battery is easy and quick:

r

Slide the Battery Cover Latch to the
Unlock position, then slide the Battery
Cover toward the bottom to remove it.

r

Install the

FNB-82LI

into the Battery

Compartment.

r

Replace the Bat-
tery Cover, then
slide the Battery
Cover Latch to
the Lock position.

If the battery has never been used, or its charge is de-
pleted, it may be charged by connecting the

NC-85

Battery Charger, as shown in the illustration, to the

EXT DC

jack. If only 12 ~ 16 Volt DC power is avail-

able, the optional

E-DC-21

DC Adapter (with its ciga-

rette lighter plug) may also be used for charging the
battery.

While the battery is being charged, the display will
indicate “

CHGING

” and the

BUSY/TX

indicator will

glow red. The S-meter will deflect according
to the charging status. When charging is fin-
ished, the display will change to indicate
“

CHGFUL

” and the

BUSY/TX

indicator will

glow green.

Should you connect the

NC-85

to the

VX-2R

without having the battery inside, the display

will indicate “

FL

/

NBT

” to notify you that you need to install the battery. Similarly, if you

connect the

NC-85

to the

VX-2R

when the battery is fully charged, the display will indi-

cate “

CHGFUL

,” the same display that you see at the end of the charge cycle.

The NC-85 is only designed for the charging of the VX-2R’s battery, and is not suitable for
other purposes. Please be advised that the NC-85 may contribute noise to TV and radio
reception in the immediate vicinity, so we do not recommend its use adjacent to such devices.
