Preparing the Battery Pack/External Power Supply
Supplements
4
Remove the plug of the battery charger from the jack of the transceiver.
Cautions
y The supplied PA-48 or SAD-14B battery charger is not adequate to operate the transmit and receive
while charging the battery pack.
y Charging may cause noise in a nearby TV or radio.
Charge the battery pack with the battery charger as far away as possible from a TV or radio.
y If "BATTERY NOT INSTALLED" appears on the LCD and the battery pack is not charged after a lapse
of 11 or more hours, stop charging the battery pack immediately.
If the same message appears again, the battery pack is presumed to be at the end of its service life,
or defective. In this case, replace the battery pack with a new one.
y While charging the battery pack, protect the transceiver from water.
y Charge the battery pack in a place where the ambient temperature is +5 °C to +35 °C (+41 °F to +95
°F).
y If the terminal or electrode of the battery case is dirty, this transceiver can malfunction due to poor
contact, resulting in overheating or rupture. If the terminal or electrode gets dirty, clean it using a dry
cloth or cotton swab.
Tips
• The battery charger may become hot during charging. This is not a malfunction.
• If starts blinking, the battery pack charge is depleted. Charge it immediately.

• It takes about 5 hours to charge the FNB-101LI (optional).
• The optional Rapid Charger Cradle (CD-41) requires about 5 hours to charge the
supplied battery pack (about 2.5 hours to charge the optional battery pack FNB-
101LI).
Place the battery pack on the CD-41 so that the rails of the CD-41 fit into the
grooves on the battery pack.
When charging the battery pack using the CD-41, the LED on the CD-41 indicates
the state of charging.
During charging: Glows red → Blinks fast → Blinks slowly
