BEFORE YOU BEGIN

Low Battery Indication

¦As your battery discharges during use, the voltage will

gradually become lower. When the “ ” icon will blink on the LCD display, the battery pack must be recharged before further use.

¦Avoid recharging Li-Ion batteries before the “Low Bat- tery” indicator is observed, as this can degrade the charge capacity of your Li-Ion battery pack. Vertex Standard recommends that you carry an extra, fully- charged pack with you so you will not lose communi- cations capability due to a depleted Li-Ion battery.

This “deep cycling” practice will help to maintain longer overall battery life after many recharging cycles.

AC Operation Using NC-72B/C(Receiving only)

The VXA-700may be operated from your house current by use of the supplied NC-72B/CBattery Charger. The NC-72B/Cshould only be used for reception, because it is not capable of supplying sufficient current to support transmission.

To use the NC-72B/C, turn the transceiver off, then plug the miniature connector of the Battery Charger into the EXT DC jack on the side of the radio. Now plug the Battery Charger into the wall outlet. You may now turn on the transceiver.
