Installation Of Accessories; Battery Charging - Yaesu VX-3E Operating Manual

If the battery has never been used, or
its charge is depleted, it may be
charged by connecting the PA-46
Battery Charger, as shown in the il-
lustration, to the EXT DC jack. If only
12 ~ 16 Volt DC power is available,
the optional E-DC-21 DC Adapter
(with its cigarette lighter plug) may
also be used for charging the battery.
While the battery is being charged, the
display will indicate "CHGING" and
the TX/BUSY indicator will glow red.
The S-meter will deflect according to
the charging status.
When charging is finished, the display will change to indicate
"CHGFUL" and the TX/BUSY indicator will glow green.
The PA-46 is only designed for the charging of the VX-3R/E's bat-
tery, and is not suitable for other purposes. Please be advised that the
PA-46 may contribute noise to TV and radio reception in the imme-
diate vicinity, so we do not recommend its use adjacent to such de-
vices.
Warning:
1) Perform the battery charging where the ambient temperature range is +41 °F to +95 °F
(+5 °C to +35 °C). Charge out of this range could cause damage to the battery pack.
2) If the charge is not completed in three hours or if "CHGERR"
appears in the display, the battery may be deteriorated. Do not
attempt to forcibly charge the battery, Please contact your Yaesu
dealer.
3) If you do not use the VX-3R/E for a long time, remove the FNB-82LI Lithium-Ion
battery pack from the VX-3R/E, as battery leakage could cause damage to the VX-
3R/E and FNB-82LI.
4) When an FNB-82LI Lithium-Ion battery pack is not used for a long time, please
remove it from the transceiver. Also, while in storage, the charge will drain slightly
over time and the battery should be recharged 50 % each six months.
