VX-920 SerieS Operating Manual
Before you Begin
1) The VAC-920 (CD-31/PA-42) charges only 
the  Vertex  Standard FNB-V86LIA, FNB-
V87LIA,  FNB-V92LI, and FNB-V92LIIS Lithium-
Ion Battery Pack.
2) If the IS version of the VX-920 is being used in a 
hazardous environment where Intrinsic Safety (IS) 
is required you must use the FNB-V92LIIS battery. 
3) Use only the Vertex Standard PA-42 AC Adapter.
4) To reduce the risk of explosion, recharge the bat-
teries outside of hazardous locations.
5) Perform the  battery charging where the ambient 
temperature range +41 °F to +104 °F (+5 °C to +40 
°C). Charge out of this range could cause damage to 
the battery pack.
6)  Battery Pack  shall  not  be exposed  to  excessive 
heat such as sunshine, re, or the like.
7) Risk  of explosion if battery is replaced by an in-
correct type. Dispose of used batteries  according to 
the instructions.
Low Battery Indication
As  the  battery  discharges  during  use,  the voltage 
gradually becomes lower. When the  battery voltage 
becomes to low, substitute a freshly charged battery 
and  recharge the depleted  pack. The LED indicator 
on the top of the radio will blink red when the battery 
voltage is low.
 Caution 
Danger of explosion if battery is replaced with 
an  incorrect  battery. Replace  only  with the 
same or equivalent type.
Note
The 
FBA-34
 was designed as a  backup bat-
tery  pack,  and  it  can  be used  to  power  the 
transceiver if you are in an area that does not 
require the use of an intrinsically safe radio.
