Installation Of Fnb-80Li Battery Pack; Battery Charging - Vertex Standard VXA-710 Spirit Operating Manual

Installation of FNB-80LI Battery Pack

The FNB-80LI is a high-performance Lithium-Ion bat-
tery providing high capacity in a very compact package.
Under normal use, the FNB-80LI may be used for ap-
proximately 300 charge cycles, after which operating time
may be expected to decrease. If you have an old battery
pack which is displaying capacity which has become di-
minished, you should replace the pack with a new one.
Install the FNB-80LI as shown in the illustration.
Close the Battery Pack Latch on the bottom of the
radio.
Do not attempt to open any of the recharge-
able LI-ion packs, as personal injury or dam-
age to the LI-ion pack could occur if a cell or cells be-
come accidentally short-circuited.

Battery Charging

If the battery has never been used, or its charge is depleted,
it may be charged by connecting the PA-48B/C Battery
Charger, as shown in the illus-
tration, to the EXT DC jack. If
only 12 ~ 15 Volt DC power is
available, the optional E-DC-
5B DC Cable (w/cigarette
lighter plug) or E-DC-6 DC
Cable may also be used for
charging the battery, as shown in the illustration. "Now
Charging . . ." will blink in the display while the battery is
being charged. When charging is finished (approximately
five hours), the display will change to indicate "Complete"
and the BUSY/TX indicator will blink blue.

Do not leave the charger connected to the transceiver
for continuous periods in excess of 24 hours. Long
term overcharging can degrade the LI-ion battery pack
and significantly shorten its useful life.
If using a charger other than the PA-48B/C, or if us-
ing a battery pack other than the FNB-80LI, follow
the appropriate instructions provided with the charger/
battery. Contact your Dealer if you have any doubts
about the appropriateness of the particular charger or
battery pack you intend to use.
