VX-8DR/DE OPERATING MANUAL 11
INSTALLATION OF FBA-39 ALKALINE BATTERY CASE
(
OPTION
)
The optional FBA-39 Battery Case allows receive monitoring using three “AA” size Al-
kaline batteries. Alkaline batteries can also be used for low power transmission in an
emergency. The power output will only be selectable 1 W/50 mW (for 50/144/430 MHz
FM) or 500 mW/50 mW (for 222 MHz FM: USA version), or 1 W fixed (for 50 MHz
AM).
TO INSTALL ALKALINE BATTERIES INTO THE FBA-39
1. Lift up the lower right corner of the rubber cover, and then open the cover (Figure 1).
2. Referring to Figure 2, slide the batteries into the FBA-39 as shown in the illustration,
with the Negative

side of the batteries touching the spring connections inside the
FBA-39.
3. Close the rubber cover.
4. Install the FBA-39 in the transceiver in the same manner as the FNB-101LI.
INSTALLATION OF ACCESSORIES
The FBA-39 does not provide connections for charging, since Alkaline cells cannot be
re-charged. Therefore, the PA-44, E-DC-5B, or E-DC-6 may safely be connected to the
EXT DC jack when the FBA-39 is installed (E-DC-5B and E-DC-6 are usable only in
the USA/EXP market).
Notes:
" The FBA-39 is designed for use only with AA-type Alkaline cells.
" If you do not use the VX-8DR/DE for a long time, remove the Alkaline batteries from
the FBA-39, as battery leakage could cause damage to the FBA-39 and/or the trans-
ceiver.
