13 INSTALLATION OF OPTIONS
13.1 FBA-38 ALKALINE BATTERY CASE
The optional FBA-38 is a battery case that holds five "AAA" size Alkaline bat-
teries and is used with the HX850S transceiver. The Alkaline batteries can be
used for receiving and transmission in an emergency, and battery life will be
shortened dramatically. When the Alkaline batteries are used, we recommend
to reduce the Transmit Output Power to "LOW".
1. Slide the five "AAA" size Alkaline batteries into the FBA-38 with the Nega-
tive (– – – – – ) side of the batteries touching the spring connections inside the
FBA-38.
2. Insert the FBA-38 into the battery rest on the bottom of the transceiver,
and then turn the Battery Pack Lock to the "LOCK" position with a coin.
When the FBA-38 Alkaline Battery Case is used, the HX850S is not
able to transmit using 6 W power output.
