BATTERY CHARGING
If the battery has never been used, or its charge is depleted, it may be charged by connect-
ing the NC-88/PA-44 Overnight Battery Charger, as shown in the illustration, to the EXT
DC jack. If only 12 ~ 16 Volt DC power is available, the optional E-DC-5B DC Adapter
(with its cigarette lighter plug) may also be used for charging the battery.
A fully-discharged pack will be charged completely in 10 hours. Disconnect the NC-88/
PA-44 from the EXT DC jack and the AC line outlet.
Important Note
 The NC-88/PA-44 are not designed to power the transceiver for operation (recep-
tion or transmission).
 Do not leave the NC-88/PA-44 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.
 Please be advised that the NC-88/PA-44 may contribute noise to TV and radio
reception in the immediate vicinity, so we do not recommend its use adjacent to
such devices.
