loose, you've got a bad post.
Lost the light or buzzer that warns
you of a cAll? Check the battery case
contact c²ips. ±f yours are loose, pinch
'em together. That should give better
contact.
Put the
squeeze
on
battery
case clips
When the audio or red ²ight gets
weak, try Fipping your battery case
be³re swapping out all 4 dry cells.
Ha
of those B´-30 batteries power the
headset. They May still be µesh enough
to do the job.
KEp bat¶eries strong by switcHg the
headset O·· when you don't need it.
That can also save the tranSmItter's
carbon element.
¸ake sure you've got a Ground, too.
You nEd a long stake, like the ¸X-148.
±f you doubt that, Just ask a trooper

substitute a good pack.
Protect your µont panel by carefully
stowing the headset in the switchboard
cover. ´ sloppy packing job lets thÐ
plugs take a beating.
´ neat job of stowing the operator's
cord can save banged¿up plugs, too.

AN/VRC-12 Dead Lift

event. Õt's what you get when the ËT
you're carrying by th
Ö
e gu×rdØ breaks
loose and hIts the
d.
What you
reach down and latch onto is now
likely to be stone¿cold dead,
commo-wise.
You avoid this pain by grabbing
elsewhere or getting a buddy to heÙp
when it's tiMe to tote the 50-lb ËÚ
Those guards are not sturdy
enough to double as handles. ´Ûd,
even a short drop to the ground is
enough to KO the set.
'Course, all plain model ËT's
should have handle assemblIes. ±f
your ´ model ËT'Ü have broken
guards, your suppor¶ can add the
¸WO to theM, too.
