4. GETTING STARTED
4.1 RADIO CARE
CAUTION
Before following the instructions below, insure the battery pack is in place
and firmly tightened. Care must be taken if the radio was dropped and a
close inspection may be needed to insure the radio case and gaskets
are in adequate condition.
Clean the radio with fresh water after exposure to salt water by rinsing the
radio under a sink faucet or by dunking the radio in a bucket of fresh water.
After washing, use a soft cloth and thoroughly dry all parts of the radio. This is
to keep the rubber switches and speaker grill clean and in top operating condi-
tion.
4.2 BATTERIES AND CHARGERS
If the radio has never been used, or its charge is depleted, it may be charged
by connecting the
CD-46 Charger Cradle with the NC-90B battery charger, as
shown in the illustration. If 12V DC power is available, the optional E-DC-19A
DC Cable with 12 V Cigarette Lighter Plug or the optional E-DC-6 DC Cable
may be used for charging the battery. The NC-90B , E-DC-19A , and E-DC-6
will charge a completely discharged FNB-V105LI battery pack in about 6 hours.
The FNB-V105LI is a high performance Li-Ion battery providing high capacity
in a compact package.
CAUTION
To avoid risk of explosion and injury, FNB-V105LI battery pack should
only be removed, charged or recharged in non-hazardous environments.
4.2.1 BATTERY SAFETY
Battery packs for your transceiver contain Li-Ion batteries. This type of battery
stores a charge powerful enough to be dangerous if misused or abused, espe-
cially when removed from the transceiver. Please observe the following pre-
cautions:
DO NOT SHORT BATTERY PACK TERMINALS : Shorting the terminals that
power the transceiver can cause sparks, severe overheating, burns, and bat-
tery cell damage. If the short is of sufficient duration, it is possible to melt
battery components. Do not place a loose battery pack on or near metal sur-
faces or objects such as paper clips, keys, tools, etc. When the battery pack is
installed on the transceiver, the terminals that transfer current to the trans-
ceiver are not exposed. The terminals that are exposed on the battery pack
