Installation Of Fba-23 Alkaline Battery Case - Yaesu VX-5R Operating Manual

I
NSTALLATION OF
The optional FBA-23 Battery Case allows receive monitoring using two "AA" size Alka-
line batteries. Alkaline batteries can also be used for transmission in an emergency, but
power output will only be 300 mW, and battery life will be shortened dramatically.
To Install Alkaline Batteries into the FBA-23
Slide the batteries into the FBA-23 as shown in the illustration,
with the Negative [ ] side of the batteries touching the spring
connections inside the FBA-23.
Unlock the bottom plate by pushing the latch in the "O
direction.
Install the FBA-23 as shown in the illustration, with the [ ]
side facing the bottom of the transceiver.
Re-lock the bottom plate by carefully pressing the latch cover
back into its normal operating position.
The FBA-23 does not provide connections for charging, since Alkaline cells cannot be re-
charged. Therefore, the NC-72B/C/U, E-DC-5B, or E-DC-6 may safely be connected to
the EXT DC jack when the FBA-23 is installed.
Notes:
The FBA-23 is designed for use only with AA-type Alkaline cells.
If you do not use the VX-5R for a long time, remove the Alkaline batteries from the
FBA-23, as battery leakage could cause damage to the FBA-23 and/or the trans-
ceiver.
