Battery Charging - Vertex Standard VXA-220 Operating Manual

Battery Charging

It is necessary to charge the Ni-MH battery fully before
its first use. Follow these procedures:
Install the supplied FNB-83 Ni-MH battery pack onto
the transceiver. Ensure that the transceiver is switched
off.
Plug the NC-88B
or PA-48C Battery
Charger into the AC
line outlet, then in-
sert the cable plug
into the jack located
on the left side of
the CD-32 Charger
Cradle.
Insert the trans-
ceiver and battery
pack into the CD-
32; the antenna jack
should be at the left side when viewing the charger
from the front.
If the transceiver and battery pack are inserted cor-
rectly, the RED indicator on the CD-32 will glow. A
fully-discharged pack will be charged completely in
10 hours.

Important Notes:
The NC-88B/PA-48C is not designed to power the
transceiver for operation (reception or transmission).
Do not leave the charger connected to the transceiver
for continuous periods in excess of 24 hours. Long
term overcharging can degrade the Ni-MH battery
pack and significantly shorten its useful life.
If using a charger other than the NC-88B/PA-48C/
CD-32, or if using a battery pack other than the FNB-
83, follow the appropriate instructions provided with
the charger/battery. Contact your Dealer if you have
any doubts about the appropriateness of the particu-
lar charger or battery pack you intend to use.
