The FNB-101LI is a high-performance Lithium-Ion battery providing high capacity in a
very compact package. Under normal use, the FNB-101LI may be used for approxi-
mately 300 charge cycles, after which operating time may be expected to decrease. An old
battery pack, which is displaying diminished capacity should be replaced with a new one.
ˆ To install the FNB-101LI Battery Pack, carefully mate the
battery’s three alignment tabs with their corresponding align-
ment slots on the transceiver bottom case, then gently press
the top side of the Battery Pack until it locks in place with a
“click”.
ˆ To remove the Battery Pack, turn the transceiver off and
remove any protective cases. Press the Battery Pack Release
Knobs downward to unlock the latch, then remove the Bat-
tery Pack from the transceiver.
The VX-8R battery must be correctly installed, to
maintain the waterproof integrity.

only 12 ~ 16 Volt DC power is available, the optional E-DC-5B DC Adapter (with its
cigarette lighter plug) or E-DC-6 DC Cable may also be used for charging the battery, as
