Battery Charging - Vertex Standard VXA-150 Operating Manual

Battery Charging

It is necessary to fully charge the Ni-Cd battery be-
fore its first use. Follow these procedures:
¦ Install the supplied FNB-64 Ni-Cd battery pack
onto the transceiver. Ensure that the transceiver
is switched off.
¦ Lift up the rubber cover to expose the EXT DC
jack. Plug the cable plug from the NC-72 charger
into this jack.
¦ Plug the NC-72 into the AC line outlet.
¦ Allow a minimum of 15 hours for the FNB-64
to reach full charge. Leave the transceiver
switched off this entire period.
¦ Unplug the cable from the EXT DC jack. Re-
place the rubber cover to protect the jack. Switch
on the transceiver and begin operation.
Important Notes:
r The NC-72 is not designed to power the trans-
ceiver for operation (reception or transmission).
r Do not leave the charger connected to the trans-
ceiver for continuous periods in excess of 24
hours. Long term overcharging can degrade the
Ni-Cd battery pack and significantly shorten its
useful life.
