4. GETTING STARTED

4.1 RADIO CARE

Before following the instructions below, insure the battery pack is in
place and the cover is latched. Care must be taken if the radio was
dropped and a close inspection may be needed to insure the radio
case and gaskets are in adequate condition.
After using the HX100/HX150 in salt water environment is recommended to
clean the radio with fresh by rinsing the radio under a sink faucet or by dunk-
ing the radio in a bucket of fresh water. After washing, use a soft cloth and
thoroughly dry all parts of the radio. This is to keep the rubber switches and
speaker grill clean and in top operating condition.

4.2 BATTERIES AND CHARGERS

If the radio has never been used, or its charge is depleted, it may be charged
by connecting the PA-48B Wall Charger with the CD-57 (for HX150) or
CD-56 (for HX100) Charge Cable, see section "4.2.3 BATTERY CHARG-
ING". The PA-48B will charge a completely discharged FNB-125 battery
pack in approximately 10 hours or FNB-124LI battery pack in approximately
6 hours.
The FNB-124LI is a high performance Li-ion battery providing high capac-
ity in a compact package. Recharging can be provided while the pack is in-
stalled inside the HX150.
The FNB-125 is a rechargeable Ni-MH battery pack. Recharging can be pro-
vided while the pack is installed inside the HX100.
