4. GETTING STARTED
If the radio has never been used, or its charge is depleted, it may be charged
by connecting the CD-25 Charger Cradle with the NC-72 battery charger, as
shown in the illustration. If 12V DC power is available, the optional E-DC-19
DC Cable with 12 V Cigarette Lighter Plug or the optional E-DC-6 DC Cable
may be used for charging the battery. The NC-72, E-DC-19 and E-DC-6 will
charge a completely discharged FNB-80LI battery pack in about 3 hours.
4.1 BATTERIES AND CHARGERS
The FNB-80LI is a high performance Lithium-Ion battery providing high capacity in a very compact package.
CAUTION
To avoid risk of explosion and injury, FNB-80LI battery pack should only
be removed, charged or recharged in non-hazardous environments.
4.1.1 BATTERY SAFETY
Battery packs for your transceiver contain Lithium-Ion batteries. This type of
battery stores a charge powerful enough to be dangerous if misused or
abused, especially when removed from the transceiver. Please observe the
following precautions:
DO NOT SHORT BATTERY PACK TERMINALS: Shorting the terminals
that power the transceiver can cause sparks, severe overheating, burns,
and battery cell damage. If the short is of sufficient duration, it is possible to
melt battery components. Do not place a loose battery pack on or near metal
surfaces or objects such as paper clips, keys, tools, etc. When the battery
pack is installed on the transceiver, the terminals that transfer current to the
transceiver are not exposed. The terminals that are exposed on the battery
pack when it is mounted on the transceiver are charging terminals only and
do not constitute a hazard.
DO NOT INCINERATE: Do not dispose of any battery in a fire or incinerator.
The heat of fire may cause battery cells to explode and/or release dangerous gases.

Battery Maintenance
For safe and proper battery use, please observe the following:
r Battery packs should be charged only in non-hazardous environments;
r Use only STANDARD HORIZON-approved batteries;
r Use only a STANDARD HORIZON, (a Marine Division of VERTEX
STANDARD) approved charger. The use of any other charger may
cause permanent damage to the battery.
r Follow charging instructions provided with the chargers.
r Keep the battery contacts clean.
Battery Storage
Store batteries in a cool place to maximize storage life. Since batteries are
subject to self-discharge, avoid high storage temperatures that cause large
self-discharge rates. After extended storage, a full recharge is recommended.
Battery Recycling
DO NOT PLACE USED BATTERIES IN YOUR REGULAR TRASH!
LITHIUM-ION BATTERIES MUST BE COLLECTED, RECYCLED OR DISPOSED OF IN AN ENVIRONMENTALLY SOUND MANNER.
The incineration, land filling or mixing of nickel-cadmium batteries with the
municipal solid waste stream is PROHIBITED BY LAW in most areas.
Return batteries to an approved lithium-ion battery recycler. This may be
where you purchased the battery.
Contact your local waste management officials for other information regarding
the environmentally sound collection, recycling and disposal of lithium-ion batteries.

4.1.3 BATTERY INSTALLATION/REMOVAL
1. Turn the transceiver off.
2. To install, insert the battery pack into the battery compartment on the
back of the transceiver, then close the Battery Pack Latch until it locks in
place with a “click.”
3. To remove, open the Battery Pack Latch on the bottom of the transceiver, then slide the battery downward and out from the transceiver.
