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), or 1 W fixed (for 50 MHz AM).

CCESSORIES
The
FBA-39
does not provide connections for charging, since Alkaline cells cannot be
re-charged. Therefore, the
NC-86B/C
,
E-DC-5B
, or
E-DC-6
may safely be connected to
the
EXT DC
jack when the
FBA-39
is installed.
Notes:
The
FBA-39
is designed for use only with AA-type Alkaline cells.
If you do not use the
VX-8R
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.
