Battery Charging - Yaesu FT-60R Operating Manual

If the battery has never been used, or its charge is depleted, it may be charged by connect-
ing the NC-88 Overnight Battery Charger, as shown in the illustration, to the EXT DC
jack. If only 12 ~ 16 Volt DC power is available, the optional E-DC-5B DC Adapter (with
its cigarette lighter plug) may also be used for charging the battery.
A fully-discharged pack will be charged completely in 10 hours. Disconnect the NC-88
from the EXT DC jack and the AC line outlet.
Important Note
The NC-88 is not designed to power the transceiver for operation (reception or
transmission).
Do not leave the NC-88 connected to the transceiver for continuous periods in ex-
cess of 24 hours. Long term overcharging can degrade the Ni-MH battery pack and
significantly shorten its useful life.
Please be advised that the NC-88 may contribute noise to TV and radio reception in
the immediate vicinity, so we do not recommend its use adjacent to such devices.
