4.3 BATTERIES AND CHARGERS
If the radio has never been used, or its charge is depleted, it may be
charged by connecting the CD-50 Charger Cradle with the PA-45B Battery
Charger. The PA-45B Battery Charger will charge a completely discharged
FNB-115LIIS battery pack in approximately 3 hours.
The FNB-115LIIS is a high performance Li-Ion battery providing high capaci-
ty in a compact package.
CAUTION
To avoid risk of explosion and injury, FNB-115LIIS battery pack should
only be removed, charged or recharged in non-hazardous environments.
4.3.1 BATTERY SAFETY
Battery packs for your transceiver contain Li-Ion batteries. This type of bat-
tery 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 sufcient duration, it is possible to melt
battery components. Do not place a loose battery pack on or near metal sur-
faces 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 trans-
ceiver 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 re or incinerator.
The heat of re may cause battery cells to explode and/or release dangerous
gases.
Battery Maintenance
For safe and proper battery use, please observe the following:
Battery packs should be charged only in non-hazardous environ-
ments;
Use only STANDARD HORIZON-approved batteries;
Use only a STANDARD HORIZON approved charger. The use of any
other charger may cause permanent damage to the battery.
Follow charging instructions provided with the chargers.
Keep the battery contacts clean and dry.
