Precautions

r This apparatus is capable of two-way communi-
cation on channels used for critical aviation safety
communications. Therefore, it is important that
this radio be kept away from children or other
unauthorized users at all times.
r When making DC connections via the (optional)
E-DC-5B DC cable, be absolutely certain to
observe the proper voltage level and polarity
guidelines. Do not connect this radio directly to
any 24 ~ 28 Volt DC source, nor to AC power of
any kind. Connecting the VXA-150 directly to a
source which exceeds 15.0 Volts DC will result
in damage to the unit.
r Do not dispose of the Ni-Cd Battery Pack in a
fire. Do not carry a Ni-Cd Battery Pack in your
pocket, where keys or coins could short the ter-
minals. This could create a serious fire/burn dan-
ger, and possibly cause damage to the Ni-Cd
pack.
r Although the VXA-150 is designed to be water
resistant, the enclosure is not "waterproof." Do
not allow the radio to become submersed in wa-
ter, and do not expose it and/or its Ni-Cd Battery
Pack to water spray under pressure.

Battery Installation and Removal

¦ To install the battery, hold the transceiver with
your left hand, so your palm is over the speaker
and your thumb is on the top of the Belt Clip.
Insert the battery pack into the battery compart-
ment on the back of the radio while tilting the
Belt Clip outward, then close the Battery Pack
Latch until it locks in place with a "Click."
¦ To remove the battery, turn the radio off and re-
move any protective cases. Open the Battery Pack
Latch on the bottom of the radio, then slide the
battery downward and out from the radio while
unfolding the Belt Clip.
Do not attempt to open any of the recharge-
able Ni-Cd packs, as personal injury or dam-
age to the Ni-Cd pack could occur if a cell or cells
become accidentally short-circuited.
