CAUTION

To avoid risk of explosion and injury, CNB350/CNB350AS battery pack should only be removed, charged or recharged in non-hazardous environments.

5.1 BATTERY CHARGING

To check the charge status, install the battery and press the PTT switch while observing the BATT indicator. (see page 7)

The battery charge system (CCA250 and CWC230) supplied with the transceiver recharges a completely discharged CNB350/CNB350AS battery pack in about 15 hours.

Battery pack should not be charged with the supplied battery charge system for longer than 16 hours.

The CSA280 is an optional desktop rapid charger that charges the CNB350/ CNB350AS battery pack in approximately 1.5 hours. The transceiver and its battery can be placed into this charger, and the charger set to rapid charge. Battery condition is automatically sensed: when full charge is achieved, the charger switches to trickle-charge mode to maintain the charge indefinitely without harm to either the battery or the charger. This charger and an extra battery are highly recommended.

5.2BATTERY REMOVAL/INSTALLATION

1.Turn the transceiver off.

2.To remove, turn the battery lock screw counterclockwise 5 or 6 turns, and pull the battery pack until it slides out.

3.To install, slide the battery pack into

 

the battery cavity until fully inserted,

 

and turn the battery lock screw

 

clockwise until hand-tightened. (see
