BEFORE YOU BEGIN
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 con-
nected 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 VXA-710 for a long time, re-
move the Alkaline batteries from the FBA-23, as bat-
tery leakage could cause damage to the FBA-23 and/
or the transceiver.
