Preparing the Battery Pack/External Power Supply
Tips
• The battery pack contains lithium-ion batteries that can be recharged for repeated use.
• The transceiver can be used with either of the following battery packs:
(1) Supplied battery pack: SBR-14LI (7.2 V, 2,200 mAh)
(2) Optional battery pack: FNB-101LI (7.4 V, 1,100 mAh)
• When the battery pack is recharged, its output voltage becomes higher (about 8 V) than the
specified value (7.2 V). This is not a malfunction.

1
Install the battery pack.
2
Turn the transceiver off.
3
Insert the plug of the battery charger (PA-48 or SAD-
14B) into the EXT DC IN jack of the transceiver.
Charging starts.
On the top part of the transceiver, the TX/BUSY LED
lights red, and the display indicates “NOW CHARGING”.
The charge level is indicated by a bar graph.
It takes about 9 hours to charge the SBR-14LI battery
pack fully.
When charging is completed, the display will change to
indicate “COMPLETE” and the lamp will light green.
Remark
In the USA Version, the TX/BUSY LED is not lit when charging or when charging is
complete. When the charge is complete, the transceiver turns off after 3 minutes.
