If 12V DC power is available, the sup-
plied E-DC-30 DC Cable with 12 V Cigarette Lighter Plug may be used for charging the battery. The PA-45B and E-DC-30 will charge a completely dis-
charged FNB-115LI battery pack in approximately 3 hours. The FNB-115LI is a high performance Li-Ion battery providing high capacity in a compact package. To avoid risk of explosion and injury, FNB-115LI battery pack should only be removed, charged or recharged in non-hazardous environments. CAUTION 3.3.1 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 sufficient 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 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:
Battery packs should be charged only in non-hazardous environments;
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. Page 7 HX407Application for FCC / IC FCC ID: K6630394X20 IC: 511B-30394X20 Battery Storage Store the 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 recom-
mended. Battery Recycling DO NOT PLACE USED BATTERIES IN YOUR REGULAR TRASH!
LI-ION BATTERIES MUST BE COLLECTED, RECYCLED OR DISPOSED OF IN AN ENVIRONMENTALLY SOUND MANNER. The incineration, land filling or mixing of Li-Ion batteries with the municipal solid waste stream is PROHIBITED BY LAW in most areas. Return batteries to an approved Li-Ion battery recycler. This may be where you purchased the battery. Contact your local waste management officials for other information regard-
ing the environmentally sound collection, recycling and disposal of Li-Ion bat-
teries. 3.3.2 BATTERY INSTALLATION AND REMOVAL To install the battery pack, hold the transceiver with your left hand, so your palm is over the speaker. In-

INSTALLATION OF OPTION 10.1 FBA-42 ALKALINE BATTERY TRAY FBA-42 is a battery tray that holds six AA size Alkaline batteries and is used with the HX407 transceiver. When the FBA-42 is installed into the HX407 the radio can withstand immersion in water up to 1.5 m (about 5Ft) for 30 min-
utes. 1. On the FBA-42, remove the battery tray cover. Due to the battery tray water proof characteristics, it may be difficult to remove the battery tray cover, put a coin to the edge of the battery compartment (
) then pry open the battery tray cover. 2. Slide the six AA size Alkaline batteries into the FBA-42 Battery Tray with the Negative () side of the batteries touching the spring connections in-
side the FBA-42 Battery Tray. 3. Attach the battery cover to the FBA-42 Battery Tray while being careful so that o-ring is not twisted. Insert the FBA-42 Battery Tray into the battery compartment on the back of the HX407 transceiver, then push the bottom side of the FBA-42 Bat-
tery Tray until the Battery Tray locks with the Battery Pack Latch. 4. Page 24 HX407Application for FCC / IC FCC ID: K6630394X20 IC: 511B-30394X20 11.

sion (FCC) and Industry-Canada requirements that regulate the Maritime Radio Service. MARITIME STATION LICENSE An FCC ship station license is no longer required for any vessel traveling in U.S. waters which uses a UHF marine radio, RADAR or EPIRB, and which is not required to carry radio equipment. However, any vessel required to carry a marine radio on an international voyage, carrying a HF single side band radiotelephone or marine satellite terminal. FCC license forms, including ap-
plications for ship (605) and land station licenses can be downloaded via the Internet at www.fcc.gov/Forms/Form605/605.html. To obtain a form from the FCC, call (888) 225-5322. MARINE RADIO CALL SIGN Currently the FCC does not require recreational boaters to have a Ship Ra-
dio Station License. The USCG recommends the boats registration number and the state to be used. CANADIAN SHIP STATION LICENSING You may need a license when traveling in Canada. If you do need a license contact their nearest field office or regional office or write:

Changes or modifications to this device not expressly approved by YAESU U.S.A. could void the Users authorization to operate this device. This device complies with Industry Canada license-exempt RSS standard(s). Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference, including interference that may cause undesired operation of the device. Le prsent appareil est conforme aux CNR dIndustrie Canada applicables aux appareils radio exempts de licence. Lexploitation est autorise aux deux conditions suivantes : (1) lappareil ne doit pas produire de brouillage, et (2) lutilisateur de lappareil doit accepter tout brouillage radiolectrique subi, mme si le brouillage est susceptible den compromettre le fonctionnement. Under Industry Canada regulations, this radio transmitter may only operate using an antenna of a type and maximum (or lesser) gain approved for the transmitter by Industry Canada. To reduce potential radio interference to other users, the antenna type and its gain should be so chosen that the equivalent isotropically radiated power
(e.i.r.p.) is not more than that necessary for successful communication. Conformment la rglementation dIndustrie Canada, le prsent metteur radio peut fonctionner avec une antenne dun type et dun gain maximal (ou infrieur) approuv pour lmetteur par Industrie Canada. Dans le but de rduire les risques de brouillage radiolectrique lintention des autres utilisateurs, il faut choisir le type dantenne et son gain de sorte que la puissance isotrope rayonne quivalente
