3.3 USING THE NC-88 BATTERY CHARGER
1. Install the supplied FNB-83/FNB-V57IS battery pack on the rear of the HX370S. Ensure that the transceiver is 
switched off.
2. Plug the NC-88 Overnight Charger into the AC line outlet, then insert the cable plug
into the jack located on the side panel of the CD-26 Charger Cradle.
3. Insert the transceiver and battery pack into the CD-26; the antenna jack should be at
the left side when viewing the charger from the front.
4. If the transceiver and battery pack are in- serted correctly, the Red indicator on the CD-26 will glow. A fully-discharged pack will be charged completely in 10 hours.

Important Notes:
The NC-88 is not designed to power the transceiver for operation (re- ception or transmission).
Do not leave the charger connected to the transceiver for continuous periods in excess of 24 hours. Long term overcharging can degrade the Ni-MH battery pack and significantly shorten its useful life.
If using a charger other than the NC-88/CD-26, or if using a battery pack other than the FNB-83/FNB-V57IS, follow the appropriate instructions provided with the charger/battery. Contact your Dealer if you have any doubts about the appropriateness of the particular charger or battery pack you intend to use.
3.4 FBA-25A Waterproof Alakline Battery Tray
FBA-25A is a battery case that holds six alkaline batteries and is used with the HX370S transceiver.
When installing batteries, insert the (–) end first, then press in the (+) end so the battery snaps into place. Always replace all six batteries at the same time, paying attention to the polarity indicated inside the case.
The FBA-25A must not be used with rechargeable cells. The FBA-
25A does not contain the thermal and over-current protection circuits (provided in the "FNB" series of Ni-MH Battery Packs) required when utilizing Ni-Cd and Ni-MH cells.
