3.3.1 BATTERY SAFETY
Battery packs for your transceiver contain Li-Ion batteries. This type of bat-
tery stores a charge powerful enough to be dangerous if misused or abused,
especially when removed from the transceiver. Please observe the following
precautions:
DO NOT SHORT BATTERY PACK TERMINALS: Shorting the terminals
that power the transceiver can cause sparks, severe overheating, burns, and
battery cell damage. If the short is of sufcient duration, it is possible to melt
battery components. Do not place a loose battery pack on or near metal sur-
faces or objects such as paper clips, keys, tools, etc. When the battery pack
is installed on the transceiver, the terminals that transfer current to the trans-
ceiver are not exposed. The terminals that are exposed on the battery pack
when it is mounted on the transceiver are charging terminals only and do not
constitute a hazard.
DO NOT INCINERATE: Do not dispose of any battery in a re or incinerator.
The heat of re may cause battery cells to explode and/or release dangerous
gases.
Battery Maintenance
For safe and proper battery use, please observe the following:
Battery packs should be charged only in non-hazardous environments;
Use only STANDARD HORIZON-approved batteries;
Use only a STANDARD HORIZON approved charger. The use of any
other charger may cause permanent damage to the battery.

10. INSTALLATION OF OPTION
10.1 FBA-42 ALKALINE BATTERY TRAY
FBA-42 is a battery tray that holds six AA size Alkaline batteries and is used
with the HX407 transceiver. When the FBA-42 is installed into the HX407 the
radio can withstand immersion in water up to 1.5 m (about 5Ft) for 30 min-
utes.
1. On the FBA-42, remove the battery tray cover. Due to the battery tray
water proof characteristics, it may be difcult to remove the battery tray
cover, put a coin to the edge of the battery compartment ( ) then pry
open the battery tray cover.
2. Slide the six AA size Alkaline batteries into the FBA-42 Battery Tray with
the Negative (–) side of the batteries touching the spring connections in-
side the FBA-42 Batter y Tray.
3. Attach the battery cover to the FBA-42 Battery Tray while being careful
so that o-ring is not twisted.
4. Insert the FBA-42 Battery Tray into the battery compartment on the back
of the HX407 transceiver, then push the bottom side of the FBA-42 Bat-
tery Tray until the Battery Tray locks with the Battery Pack Latch.
