INSTALLATION OF ACCESSORIES
BELT CLIP INSTALLATION
Connect the hanger to the rear of the VX-177, with the notch pointing directly up, using the supplied screw (Figure 1). Use only the screw included with the clip to mount the clip to the back of the VX-177.
Clip the Quick-Draw Belt Clip onto your belt (Figure 2).
To install the VX-177into the Quick-Draw Belt Clip, align the hanger with the Quick- Draw Belt Clip, and slide the VX-177into its slot until a click is heard (Figure 3).
To remove the VX-177from the Quick-Draw Belt Clip, rotate the VX-177180 de- grees, then slide the VX-177out from the Quick-Draw Belt Clip (Figure 4).
INSTALLATION OF FBA-25A ALKALINE BATTERY CASE (OPTION)
The optional FBA-25ABattery Case allows operation of the VX-177using six “AA” size Alkaline batteries.
When installing batteries, insert the (–) end first, then press in the (+) end so the battery snaps into place. Always replace all six batteries at the same time, paying attention to the polarity indicated inside the case.
The FBA-25Amust not be used with rechargeable cells. The FBA-25Adoes not contain the thermal and over-current protection circuits (provided in the “FNB” series of Ni-MH Battery Packs) required when utilizing Ni-Cd and Ni-MH cells.
Note that the power output and battery life will be much shorter when using Alkaline AA cells. They should be considered an emergency backup power source only, for this reason.
