(1) Connect the FR-7/FR-5 to the FBC-7 using the
supplied 19-pin cable.
(2) Connect the FBC-7 to a suitable wall outlet.
(3) Switch on the FBC-7 by pressing its [POWER¥ON]
button (its red POWER ON indicator lights).
(4) Press the [BATTERY¥CHARGER] button on the
FBC-7.
The [BATTERY¥CHARGER] button now lights red.
(5) Wait until the [BATTERY¥CHARGER] button lights
green, then switch off the FBC-7 and disconnect
the 19-pin cable from both the FBC-7 and the
FR-7/FR-5.
Disconnecting the FR-7/FR-5 is only necessary if you
do not want to use the FBC-7 during your next per-
formance.
Note: You can use the FR-7/FR-5 while its battery is being
recharged, provided you leave the V-Accordion connected to
the FBC-7.
Recharging the battery on the FBC-7
The battery installed in the FR-7/FR-5’s compartment
can also be removed and recharged on the FBC-7 itself.
That is more tedious, though and does not speed up the
recharging procedure.
The main use for the method described below is there-
fore to recharge a spare battery (which is optional)
while using the battery inside the FR-7/FR-5. If that is
what you want to use the connector on the FBC-7 for,
skip to step (7) below.
Warning: Before removing the battery, be sure to
power off the FR-7/FR-5 (the blue indicator must be
dark).
(1) Switch off the FR-7/FR-5.
(2) Prepare a coin.
(3) Remove the cushion located between the Treble
keyboard and the bellows.
(4) Use the coin to loosen the two screws of the com-
partment cover.
(5) Remove the cover from the FR-7/FR-5’s battery
compartment.
Note: While the compartment cover is open, the FR-7/FR-5
cannot be switched on.
(6) Pull the battery strip so that the battery protrudes
a little from the battery case, and then remove the
connector and take the battery out of the battery
case.
The battery is connected to the FR-7/FR-5 by means
of a cable. You need to disconnect the cable from the
battery by pressing the clip on the connector before
fully removing the battery.
Note: Please pull the battery strip installed on the battery and
take the battery out.
(7) Slide the FBC-7’s EXTERNAL BATTERY CHARGER
cover to the right and remove it:
