Battery Charging

It is necessary to charge the Ni-MH battery fully before its
first use. Follow these procedures:
Install the supplied FNB-83 Ni-MH battery pack onto
the transceiver. Ensure that the transceiver is switched
off.
Plug the PA-48
Battery Charger
into the AC line
outlet, then insert
the cable plug into
the jack located on
the left side of the
CD-28 Charger
Cradle.
Insert the trans-
ceiver and battery
pack into the CD-
28; the antenna jack should be at the left side when
viewing the charger from the front.
If the transceiver and battery pack are inserted cor-
rectly, the RED indicator on the CD-28 will glow. A
fully-discharged pack will be charged completely in
12 hours.

Important Notes:
The PA-48 is not designed to power the transceiver
for operation (reception or transmission).
Do not leave the charger connected to the transceiver
for continuous periods in excess of 24 hours. Long
term overcharging can degrade the Ni-MH battery pack
and significantly shorten its useful life.
If using a charger other than the PA-48/CD-28, or if
using a battery pack other than the FNB-83, follow
the appropriate instructions provided with the charger/
battery. Contact your Dealer if you have any doubts
about the appropriateness of the particular charger or
battery pack you intend to use.
