Installation Of Fnb-101Li Battery Pack - Yaesu VX-8DR - APRS Manual

I
The FNB-101LI is a high-performance Lithium-Ion battery providing high capacity in a
very compact package. Under normal use, the FNB-101LI may be used for approxi-
mately 300 charge cycles, after which operating time may be expected to decrease. An old
battery pack, which is displaying diminished capacity should be replaced with a new one.
To install the FNB-101LI Battery Pack, carefully mate the
battery's three alignment tabs with their corresponding align-
ment slots on the transceiver bottom case, then gently press
the top side of the Battery Pack until it locks in place with a
"click".
To remove the Battery Pack, turn the transceiver off and
remove any protective cases. Press the Battery Pack Release
Knobs downward to unlock the latch, then remove the Bat-
tery Pack from the transceiver.
The VX-8DR battery must be correctly installed, to
maintain the waterproof integrity.
If the battery has never been used, or its charge is depleted, it may be charged by connect-
ing the NC-86B/C 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) or E-DC-6 DC Cable may also be used for charging the battery, as
shown in the illustration.
While the battery is being charged, the display will indicate "CHARGING" and the
will glow red. The S-meter will deflect according to the charging status. When charging is
finished, the display will change to indicate "COMPLETE" and the
