VXA-120 AVIATOR PROII OPERATING MANUAL

Low Battery Indication

¦ As your battery discharges during use, the volt-

age will gradually become lower. When the bat-

tery voltage reaches 5.0 Volts, the “ x ” icon

will blink on the LCD display, indicating that

the battery pack must be recharged before fur-

ther use.

¦ Avoid recharging Ni-Cd batteries before the

“Low Battery” indicator is observed, as this can

degrade the charge capacity of your Ni-Cd bat-

tery pack. Yaesu recommends that you carry an

extra, fully-charged pack with you so you will

not lose communications capability due to a de-

pleted Ni-Cd battery.

This “deep cycling” practice will help to main-

tain longer overall battery life after many recharg-

ing cycles.

BEFORE YOU BEGIN

Installing the FBA-25 (option) Alkaline

Battery Case

The optional FBA-25 Battery Case allows opera-

tion of the VXA-120 using 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, pay-

ing attention to the polarity indicated inside the case.

The FBA-25 must not be used with re-

chargeable cells. The FBA-25 does not con-

tain the thermal and over-current protection cir-

cuits (provided in the “FNB” series of Ni-Cd Bat-

tery Packs) required when utilizing Ni-Cd cells.
