Important Notice
H Please read this manual carefully to become familiar with
the features of this transceiver.
H Do not transmit the radio without an antenna connected.
H When transmitting, hold the radio in a vertical position
with its microphone 2.5 to 5 cm away from your mouth
and keep the antenna at least 2.5cm away from your head.
H The radio must be used with a maximum operating duty
cycle not exceeding 50 %, in typical Push-to-Talk (PTT)
configurations. DO NOT transmit for more than 50 % of
total radio use time (50 % duty cycle). Transmitting more
than 50 % of the time can cause RF exposure compliance
requirements to be exceeded.
The radio is transmitting when the red LED on the top of
the radio is illuminated. You can cause the radio to trans-
mit by pressing the PTT button or by using the VOX head-
set, model VC-25.
H Always use the FNB-V95LI or FNB-V96LI Lithium-Ion
Battery.
H Perform the battery charging where the ambient tempera-
ture range +10 °C to +40 °C. Charge out of this range
could cause damage to the battery pack.
H Battery Pack shall not be exposed to excessive heat such
as sunshine, fire or the like.
H Always use Vertex Standard authorized accessories.
Vertex Standard shall not be liable for any damage or
accidents such as fire, leakage or explosion of batteries,
etc., caused by the malfunction of non-Vertex Standard
accessories.
H This radio generates RF electromagnetic energy during
transmit mode. This radio is designed for and classified
as occupational use only, meaning it must be used only
during the course of employment by individuals aware of
hazardous, and the ways to minimize such hazardous. This
radio is not intended for use by the General Population in
an uncontrolled environment.

ATTERY ACK NSTALLATION AND EMOVAL
To install the battery, hold the transceiver with your left hand, so
your palm is over the speaker and your thumb
is on the top of the belt clip. Insert the
battery pack into the battery com-
partment on the back of the
radio while tilting the
Belt Clip outward,
then push the bottom
side of the battery
pack until the battery
pack locks with the
Battery Pack Latch.
To remove the battery, turn the radio off and remove any protective
cases. Slide the Battery Pack Latch on the bottom of the radio, then
slide the battery downward and out from the radio while holding
the Belt Clip.
Caution!
Do not attempt to open any of the rechargeable Lithium-Ion
packs, as they could explode if accidentally short-circuited.
L B I
OW ATTERY NDICATION
As the battery discharges during use, the voltage gradually becomes
)
lower. When the battery voltage becomes to low, substitute a freshly
charged battery and recharge the depleted pack. When the battery volt-
age is low, the LED indicator on the top of the radio will blink red and
"Battery Indicator" on the LCD will blink on the LCD version. Fur-
thermore, if your Dealer sets the "Low Battery Alert" feature into the
transceiver, an alert beeper will sound when the battery voltage is low.
