battery pack which is displaying capacity which has become diminished, you should replace
the pack with a new one.
1. Install the FNB-101LI as shown in the illustration.
2. Close the Battery Pack Latch on the bottom of the radio.
If the battery has never been used, or its charge is depleted, it may be charged by
connecting the NC-86B/C 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-5B or E-DC-6 DC Adapter (with its cigarette lighter plug) may also be used for
charging the battery, as shown in the illustration.
While the battery is being charged, the display will indicate “CHARGING” and the key will
glow red. The S-meter will deflect according to the charging status. When charging is
finished, the display will change to indicate “COMPLETE” and the key will glow green.
Installation of FBA-39 Alkaline Battery Case (Option)
The optional FBA-39 Battery Case allows receive monitoring using three “AA” size Alkaline
batteries. Alkaline batteries can also be used for transmission in an emergency, but power
output will only be selectable 1 W and 50 mW.
To Install Alkaline Batteries into the FBA-39
1. Slide the batteries into the FBA-39 as shown in the illustration, with the Negative [–]
side of the batteries touching the spring connections inside the FBA-39.
2. Open the Battery Pack Latch on the bottom of the radio.
3. Install the FBA-39 as shown in the illustration, with the [+] side facing the bottom of the
transceiver.
4. Close the Battery Pack Latch on the bottom of the radio.
The FBA-39 does not provide connections for charging, since Alkaline cells cannot be
re-charged. Therefore, the NC-86B/C, E-DC-5B, or E-DC-6 may safely be connected to the
EXT DC jack when the FBA-39 is installed.
Notes:
•
The FBA-39 is designed for use only with AA-type Alkaline cells.
•
If you do not use the VX-8R for a long time, remove the Alkaline batteries from the
FBA-39, as battery leakage could cause damage to the FBA-39 and/or the transceiver.
Battery Life Information
When the battery charge is almost depleted, a “Low Voltage” indicator will appear on the
display. When this icon appears, it is recommended that you charge the battery soon.
