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 NC-88 Over-
night Charger into the
AC line outlet, then in-
sert the cable plug into
the jack located on the
left side of the CD-28
Charger Cradle.
Insert the transceiver
and battery pack into
the CD-28; the an-
tenna 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.
BEFORE YOU BEGIN
Important Notes:
The NC-88 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 NC-88/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.
