VX-7R OPERATING MANUAL 9
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.
INSTALLATION OF FBA-23 ALKALINE BATTERY CASE
(
OPTION
)
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.
