battery’s three alignment tabs with their corresponding alignment slots on the transceiver bottom case, then gently press the top side of the Battery Pack until it locks in place with a “click”.

If the battery has never been used, or its charge is depleted, it may be charged by connecting the NC-86B/CBattery Charger, as shown in the illustration, to the EXT DC jack. If only 12 ~ 16 Volt DC power is available, the optional E-DC-5BDC Adapter (with its cigarette lighter plug) or E-DC-6DC Cable 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.
