INSTALLATION
Charging
Charging of the FNB-85 requires the use of either the supplied battery charger (NC-72B/
C or PA-48C/U), or an external 13.8 Volt (±15%) DC source. If the battery charger is used,
the FT-817ND must be turned off during charging; if an external 13.8 Volt DC source is
used (connected via the supplied E-DC-6 cable), then you may operate the FT-817ND while
charging is in progress.
1. Turn the FT-817ND off (see page 18), then connect the supplied battery charger DC
connector to the INPUT: 13.8V jack on the rear panel of the FT-817ND.
2. Plug the battery charger into the nearest AC wall outlet.
3. Press the FT-817ND’s switch for one second to turn the transceiver on.
4. Press the key momentarily.
5. Rotate the knob so that the function row containing “
[
CHG, VLT, DSP
]
” appears
on the display.
6. Press the key to select the
[
CHG
]
option (the display will immediately revert to the
regular frequency display).
7. Turn the FT-817ND off. You will now observe that the LED just
above the main tuning dial is glowing Orange, and the display
will indicate “CHG TIME RMN” and remaining time to indicate
the time remaining before a full charge is achieved on the FNB-
85.
Important Note
Ì The NC-72/PA-48 are not designed to power the transceiver for operation (reception
or transmission).
Ì Please be advised that the NC-72/PA-48 may contribute noise to TV and radio recep-
tion in the immediate vicinity, so we do not recommend its use adjacent to such devices.
Important Notice
