Installation of FNB-80LI Battery Pack
The FNB-80LI is a high-performance Lithium-Ion bat-
tery providing high capacity in a very compact package.
Under normal use, the FNB-80LI may be used for ap-
proximately 300 charge cycles, after which operating time
may be expected to decrease. If you have an old battery
pack which is displaying capacity which has become di-
minished, you should replace the pack with a new one.
Install the FNB-80LI as shown in the illustration.
Close the Battery Pack Latch on the bottom of the
radio.
BEFORE YOU BEGIN
Battery Charging
If the battery has never been used, or its charge is depleted, it
may be charged by connecting the NC-72B/C Battery
Charger, as shown in the illustra-
tion, to the EXT DC jack. If only
12 ~ 15 Volt DC power is avail-
able, the optional E-DC-5B DC
Cable (w/cigarette lighter plug)
or E-DC-6 DC Cable may also
be used for charging the battery,
as shown in the illustration. “Now Charging . . .” will blink
in the display while the battery is being charged. When charg-
ing is finished (approximately five hours), the display will
change to indicate “Complete” and the BUSY/TX indica-
tor will blink blue.
Important Notes:
Do not leave the charger connected to the transceiver
for continuous periods in excess of 24 hours. Long
term overcharging can degrade the LI-ion battery pack
and significantly shorten its useful life.
If using a charger other than the NC-72B/C, or if us-
ing a battery pack other than the FNB-80LI, 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.
Do not attempt to open any of the rechargeable
LI-ion packs, as personal injury or damage to
the LI-ion pack could occur if a cell or cells become
accidentally short-circuited.
