PRC1077-MSOP
Installing the
Battery
The PRC1077 uses the BB-LA6 sealed lead-calcium rechargeable battery. The
BB-LA6 battery is rated at 6.0 AH (maximum), providing the PRC1077 with
a mission life of approximately 30 hours when operating at a 9:1 (Rx:Tx) duty
cycle at 5W output power.
To install the BB-LA6 battery into the PRC1077 (
refer to the figure on page
2-3
):
1. Stand the PRC1077 on a level surface with the front panel facing down.
2. Pull the two clamps out from the transceiver case to release and push
down on the battery case.
3. Remove the battery box.
4. Check the battery connector. If it is damaged, the transceiver must be
repaired. Make sure the pressure test screw and relief valve are tight.
5. Position the battery so the connectors are aligned, then mate the
connectors.
6. Install the battery case, latch the clamps on the battery case hook, then
push the clamps in towards the case.
CAUTION: Remove the battery when the transceiver is not in use
for more than one day.
