Battery Charging - Vertex Standard VX-P820 Series Operating Manual

Battery Charging

Insert the DC plug from the PA-39 AC Adapter
into the DC jack on the bottom side of the VAC-
920 Desktop Rapid Charger, then plug the PA-
39 AC Adapter into the AC line outlet.
Insert the battery pack into the VAC-920 Desk-
top Rapid Charger while aligning the slots of the
battery pack with the guides in the nest of the
VAC-920; refer to the illustration at the right for
details on proper positioning of the pack. If charg-
ing with the transceiver attached, turn the trans-
ceiver off, and the antenna jack should be at the
left side when viewing the charger from the front.
If the battery pack is inserted correctly, the LED
indicator will glow red. A fully-discharged pack
will be charged completely in approximately 1.5
hours (FNB-V86LI, 2.5 hours: FNB-V87LI,
FNB-V92LIIS).
The LED indicator will blink red/green alternately
when charging is nearing completion.
When charging is completed, the LED indicator
will change to green. Even if the charging is com-
pleted, the LED indicator will sometimes change
to red for trickle charging.
