HARGING
If the battery has never been used, or its charge is depleted, it may be charged by connect-
ing the
NC-88
Overnight 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
DC Cable (with its cigarette
lighter plug) or
E-DC-6
DC Cable (plug and wire only) may also be used for charging the
battery.
A fully-discharged pack will be charged completely in 10 hours. Disconnect the
NC-88
from the
EXT DC
jack and the AC line outlet.

Important Note
The
NC-88
is not designed to power the transceiver for operation (reception or trans-
mission).
Do not leave the
NC-88
connected to the transceiver for continuous periods in excess
of 24 hours. Long term overcharging can degrade the Ni-MH battery pack and signifi-
cantly shorten its useful life.
Please be advised that the
NC-88
may contribute noise to TV and radio reception in
the immediate vicinity, so we do not recommend its use adjacent to such devices.

NDICATION
As your battery discharges during use, the voltage will gradually become lower. When
the battery voltage is becoming too low for reliable operation,
the “
” icon will blink on the LCD display, indicating that the
battery pack must be recharged before further use.
Avoid recharging Ni-MH batteries before the “
”indicator is
observed, as this can degrade the charge capacity of your Ni-MH battery pack.
