VX-3R Operating Manual
on the transceiver until it is snug. Do not over-tighten by use of extreme force.
Notes:
Never transmit without having an antenna connected.
When installing the supplied antenna, never hold the
upper
part of the antenna while screwing it onto
the mating connector on the transceiver.
If using an external antenna for transmission, ensure that the SWR presented to the transceiver is 1.5:1
or lower, to avoid excessive feedline loss.
Installation of FNB-82LI Battery Pack
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:
Slide the Battery Cover Latch to the Unlock position, then slide the Battery Cover toward the bottom to
remove it.
Install the FNB-82LI into the Battery Compartment.
Replace the Battery Cover, then slide the Battery Cover Latch into the “Lock” position.
Important Note: There is a small stud in the Battery Compartment of the VX-3R. This stud is a switch for the
battery detection. Please be careful not to break this stud while battery changing.
Battery Charging
If the battery has never been used, or its charge is depleted, 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 available,
the optional E-DC-21 DC Adapter (with its cigarette lighter plug) may also be used for charging the battery.
While the battery is being charged, the display will indicate “CHGING” and the TX/BUSY indicator will glow
red. The S-meter will deflect according to the charging status.
When charging is finished, the display will change to indicate “CHGFUL” and the TX/BUSY indicator will
glow green.
The NC-85 is only designed for the charging of the VX-3R’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.
Important Note: 1) Perform the battery charging where the ambient temperature range is 41 °F to 95 °F
(+5 °C to +35 °C). Charge out of this range could cause damage to the battery pack.
