nected to the negative of No. 2 block. This will leave the negative of the first block and the
positive of the last block without connections. The batteries should be placed in the right
compartment

as shown in Fig's. 6 and 7 and if four 22 ½-volt blocks are used, the first and second blocks
of "B" battery should he placed at the bottom of the right hand compartment, the others
being placed on top. The extra lead with yellow braid and red tracer having a metal tag
marked "+A","—B"," Ground", is to have its terminal connected to the negative terminal
of battery No. 1. The maroon lead having a metal tag marked "+45B" is to be connected to
the positive (+) terminal of the second 22 ½-volt "B" battery (in case four 22 ½-volt blocks
are used), or to the positive (+) terminal of the first 45-volt block (in case two 45-
volt blocks are used). The red lead having a metal tag marked "+90B" is to be connected to
the positive (+) terminal of the last battery block.
This completes the installation of the batteries in the Home 'Battery Box. The cover should
then be replaced and fastened down by its screws. Radiola 26 can then be placed in position
with the button feet fitting into recesses on the cover of the box and the slot in the bottom of
Radiola 26 fitting down over the battery terminal block. To use the batteries in the Home
Battery Box, open the back of Radiola 26 and pull apart the battery connector, pushing the
plug part attached to the cable into the socket part attached to the top of the Home Battery
Box.
Antenna Coupling and Tuning System.
The loop of the Radiola 26 has been made
of such a size as to permit of both convenience of operation and portability. In
certain shielded locations the use of either an indoor or outdoor antenna will frequently
improve the operation of the Radiola 26 when very weak signals are received.
