second, then remove the FBA-28 Battery Case or FNB-85 Ni-MH Battery Pack from
the transceiver. Additionally, disconnect the DC cable from the INPUT: 13.8V jack
on the rear panel of the transceiver, when operating the FT-817ND with a DC power
supply.

ceiver, and remove the top case; disconnect the speaker’s connector when you remove
the top case.

factory-installed REF UNIT from the board, then position the TCXO-9 so that its con-
nectors are aligned with the mounting pins on the board, and push it into place.

FBA-28 Battery Case or FNB-85 Ni-MH Battery Pack (and/or attach the DC power
supply).
