is switched off.
¦
Plug the
NC-77
into the AC line outlet.
¦
Insert the transceiver and battery pack into the
NC-77
; the antenna jack should be at the left
side when viewing the charger from the front.
¦
If the transceiver and battery pack are inserted
correctly, the RED indicator will glow. A fully-
discharged pack will be charged completely in
10 hours.
