(1) Connect the FR-7b/FR-5b to the FBC-7 using the
supplied 19-pin cable.
(2) Connect the FBC-7 to a suitable wall outlet.
(3) Switch on the FBC-7 by pressing its [POWER¥ON]
button (its red POWER ON indicator lights).
(4) Press the [BATTERY¥CHARGER] button on the
FBC-7.
The [BATTERY¥CHARGER] button now lights red.
(5) Wait until the [BATTERY¥CHARGER] button lights
green, then switch off the FBC-7 and disconnect
the 19-pin cable from both the FBC-7 and the
FR-7b/FR-5b.
Disconnecting the FR-7b/FR-5b is only necessary if
you do not want to use the FBC-7 during your next
performance.
Note: You can use the FR-7b/FR-5b while its battery is being
recharged, provided you leave the V-Accordion connected to
the FBC-7.
Recharging the battery on the FBC-7
The battery installed in the FR-7b/FR-5b’s compartment
can also be removed and recharged on the FBC-7 itself.
That is more tedious, though, and does not speed up
the recharging procedure.
The main use for the method described below is there-
fore to recharge a spare battery (which is optional)
while using the battery inside the FR-7b/FR-5b. If that
is what you want to use the connector on the FBC-7
for, skip to step (7) below.
Warning: Before removing the battery, be sure to
power off the FR-7b/FR-5b (the blue indicator must
be dark).
(1) Switch off the FR-7b/FR-5b.
(2) Prepare a coin.
(3) Remove the cushion located between the Treble
keyboard and the bellows.
(4) Use the coin to loosen the two screws of the com-
partment cover.
(5) Remove the cover from the FR-7b/FR-5b’s battery
compartment.
Note: While the compartment cover is open, the FR-7b/FR-5b
cannot be switched on.
(6) Pull the battery strip so that the battery protrudes
a little from the battery case, and then remove the
connector and take the battery out of the battery
case.
The battery is connected to the FR-7b/FR-5b by
means of a cable. You need to disconnect the cable
from the battery by pressing the clip on the connec-
tor before fully removing the battery.
Note: Please pull the strip installed on the battery and take the
battery out.
(7) Slide the FBC-7’s EXTERNAL BATTERY CHARGER
cover to the right and remove it:
