ASSEMBLING THE RADIO OTHER ACCESSORIES The following accessories are available from most Humminbird dealers, or direct through Humminbird Customer Support: Accessory • 12V Cigarette Lighter Adapter/Battery Eliminator • Speaker/Microphone Headset • Waterproof Pouch • Bulkhead Mount • NiCd Battery Pack and Battery Charger Battery Installation and Removal. The VHF5 (models A and C) uses 8 AA Alkaline batteries to power the radio. These batteries (not included) are installed in the battery pack at the bottom of the radio. To install new batteries, move the Battery Release button up, and slide the battery pack off as shown in the illustration. Using your finger, disengage the snap lock feature on the top of the battery pack, and gently separate the battery pack into two halves. Install four new batteries in each half of the battery pack. Assure the positive and negative orientation of the batteries match the engraving on the inside of the battery back. To reassemble the battery pack, first mate the two halves together at the bottom and then snap shut. Slide the battery pack onto the radio. When the battery is low, a battery icon appears on the LCD. The battery pack can be charged on or off the VHF5 unit. Note: For longest battery life use only new Alkaline batteries. Battery life varies greatly by brand and length of time the radio is used for transmitting and receiving. Antenna Antenna ASSEMBLING THE RADIO Antenna To install the antenna on the VHF5, ensure the antenna and the threads on the unit are free from debris, and screw the antenna onto the base. Finger tighten only. Headset Jacks Jacks on top of the VHF5 can be connected to an external speaker/microphone headset. Connect this accessory to the proper jacks. Waterproof Pouch The waterproof pouch protects the radio from water while permitting access to all radio controls. To use the pouch, remove the sealing clamp from the bottom. Note how the clamp attaches to the bag. Insert the radio into the Headset jacks bag and reattach the clamp, taking care to reseal in the original manner.
