Batteries

Chargers
The FT-S30 requires the FNB-27 I2-volt rechar-
geable Ni-Cd battery pack for full S-watt power
output. However, where slightly lower power out-
put is practical, the FBA-I2 dry-cell battery case
(1.S watts) and the 7.2-volt FNB-25, FNB-26 and
FNB-28 Ni-Cd packs (2 watts) offer smaller size,
lighter weight or extended charge life. Also, the
7.2-volt Ni-Cd packs may be recharged while at-
tached to the transceiver, using the
EXT DC
jack on
the top panel. Any Ni-Cd pack should be fully
charged before using it the first time.
Three types of chargers are available: IS-hour
compact chargers, the NC-42 I-hour Desktop
Quick Charger and the IS-hour internal charging
circuit powered by the E-DC-SA Cigarette Lighter
Plug Adapter and an external DC voltage source.
Different IS-hour compact chargers are re-
quired for different packs:

Make certain that you use the correct compact
charger for each pack. Each compact charger is
available with a "B" suffix for operation from 117-
V AC, or with a
"c"
suffix for operation from 220
-234-V AC.
NC-42 I-Hour Quick Charger
The NC-42 is a universal AC mains battery
charger with quick and trickle charging modes for
all FNB series Ni-Cd packs listed above. It comes
wired for the mains voltage in the area sold. The
quick mode is automatically selected initially, to
bring the battery pack up to full charge as fast as
safely possible using a
/1-
V sensor. A red LED
lights during quick charging, and when the pack
approaches full charge, the charger reverts to
trickle mode (green LED), to prevent self-dis-
charge. The quick mode recharges a completely
discharged battery in about 1 hour, depending on
temperature.
E-DC-SA Cig. Lighter Plug/Adapter
The E-DCSA connects the
EXT DC
Jack on top
of the transceiver to a car lighter socket, to provide
operating and battery charging voltage from the
automobile electrical system or another DC source
(see box this page). Be careful to avoid overchar-
ging. Use only with 12-volt negative-ground electrical
systems.
FBA-12 Dry-Cell Battery Case
The FBA-I2 dry-cell battery case may be used
with six "AA"-size (UM-3) batteries. Maximum
power output is about 1.S watts. Use alkaline cells
for best performance.
Caution!
The FBA-12 must not be used with rechar-
geable cells. It lacks the necessary thermal and over-
current protection circuits provided in the FNB series
Ni-Cd Packs.
One or more of the above battery packs/cases
may be supplied with the transceiver. If you need
a battery, contact your Yaesu dealer. We do not
recommend the use of any other type of battery
with the FT-S30, and using another type may affect
your warranty.
Battery Removal
&
Replacement
o
Make sure that the transceiver is turned off, and
remove the protective soft or hard case, if used.
o
Grasp the transceiver with your left hand, so
your palm is over the display and your thumb is
on the Battery Release Button.
o
Move the button in the direction indicated by the
arrowhead, while using your right hand to slide
the battery case toward the side with the button.
The battery case should slide smoothly out of its
track.
