4. GETTING STARTED
If the radio has never been used, or its charge is depleted, it may be charged
by connecting the CD-25 Charger Cradle with the NC-72 battery charger, as
shown in the illustration. If 12V DC power is available, the optional E-DC-19
DC Cable with 12 V Cigarette Lighter Plug or the optional E-DC-6 DC Cable
may be used for charging the battery. The NC-72, E-DC-19 and E-DC-6 will
charge a completely discharged FNB-80LI battery pack in about 3 hours.
4.1 BATTERIES AND CHARGERS
The FNB-80LI is a high performance Lithium-Ion battery providing high ca-
pacity in a very compact package.
To avoid risk of explosion and injury, FNB-80LI battery pack should only
be removed, charged or recharged in non-hazardous environments.
4.1.1 BATTERY SAFETY
Battery packs for your transceiver contain Lithium-Ion batteries. This type of
battery stores a charge powerful enough to be dangerous if misused or
abused, especially when removed from the transceiver. Please observe the
following precautions:
DO NOT SHORT BATTERY PACK TERMINALS: Shorting the terminals
that power the transceiver can cause sparks, severe overheating, burns,
and battery cell damage. If the short is of sufficient duration, it is possible to
melt battery components. Do not place a loose battery pack on or near metal
surfaces or objects such as paper clips, keys, tools, etc. When the battery
pack is installed on the transceiver, the terminals that transfer current to the
transceiver are not exposed. The terminals that are exposed on the battery
pack when it is mounted on the transceiver are charging terminals only and
do not constitute a hazard.
DO NOT INCINERATE: Do not dispose of any battery in a fire or incinerator.
The heat of fire may cause battery cells to explode and/or release danger-
ous gases.
