If the battery has never been used, or its charge is depleted, it may be charged by connect-
ing the
NC-72B/C
Battery Charger, as shown in the illustration, to the
EXT DC
jack. If
only 12 ~ 16 Volt DC power is available, the optional
E-DC-5B
or
E-DC-6
DC Adapter (with its cigarette lighter
plug) may also be used for charging the battery, as shown
in the illustration.
The display will indicate “
now charging
” while the bat-
tery is being charged. When charging is finished, the dis-
play will change to indicate “
complete
” and the
STROBE
indicator will glow blue.

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 selectable 300 mW and 50 mW, and battery life will be short-
ened dramatically.
To Install Alkaline Batteries into the FBA-23
1.
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
.
2.
Open the Battery Pack Latch on the bottom of the radio.
3.
Install the
FBA-23
as shown in the illustration, with the [
+
]
side facing the bottom of the transceiver.
4.
Close the Battery Pack Latch on the bottom of the radio.
The
FBA-23
does not provide connections for charging, since Alkaline cells cannot be re-
charged. Therefore, the
NC-72B/C
,
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-7R
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.
