3.3 USING THE NC-88 BATTERY CHARGER
1. Install the supplied FNB-83 battery pack on the rear of the HX270S.
Ensure that the transceiver is switched off.
2. Plug the NC-88 Overnight Charger into the
AC line outlet, then insert the cable plug
into the jack located on the side panel of
the CD-26 Charger Cradle.
3. Insert the transceiver and battery pack into
the CD-26; the antenna jack should be at
the left side when viewing the charger from
the front.
4. If the transceiver and battery pack are in-
serted correctly, the Red indicator on the
CD-26 will glow. A fully-discharged pack will
be charged completely in 10 hours.
Important Notes:
❍ The NC-88 is not designed to power the transceiver for operation (re-
ception 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-26, 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.
3.4 FBA-25A Waterproof Alakline Battery Tray
FBA-25A is a battery case that holds six alkaline batteries and is used with the
HX270S transceiver.
When installing batteries, insert the (–) end first, then press in the (+) end so
the battery snaps into place. Always replace all six batteries at the same
time, paying attention to the polarity indicated inside the case.
The FBA-25A must not be used with rechargeable cells. The FBA-
25A does not contain the thermal and over-current protection
circuits (provided in the "FNB" series of Ni-MH Battery Packs) required
when utilizing Ni-Cd and Ni-MH cells.
