Battery Removal & Replacement 1 - Yaesu FT-51R Owner's Manual

Battery Removal
Make sure the power is switched off, and re-
move the protective soft case, if used. Grasp
the transceiver horizontally with your left
hand, so your thumb is on the Battery Release
slide button.
Move the button in the direction shown by the
arrow, while using your right hand to slide the
battery case up slightly and outward away
from the transceiver battery well. The battery
should slide smoothly out of its track.
Replacement
To open the FBA-14 battery case, place your
thumbs on the lugs on top of the case and gently
pry the case apart. Replace all four batteries,
noting the polarity indicated inside the case.
Do not attempt to open any
Ni-Cd packs, and do not install rechargeable
cells in the FBA-14, as they could explode
accidentally short-circuited.
To replace the battery case or Ni-Cd pack,
repeat the steps above, inserting the battery case
in the other direction after aligning the four lock-
ing lugs of the battery case with the guide chan-
nels in the transceiver battery-well sides.
