Now that we have become familiar with SINCGARS let's assemble the AN/PRC-119.
Assembly.
(1) Stand the RT on the front panel guards. This will make installation of the battery and
battery box easier.
(2) Visually inspect the battery box for dirt and damage.
(3) Place the battery box on the RT and secure it with the hold-down latches.
(4) Inspect the battery. If it is not new check the battery life condition, write it down so you
can enter it in the RT memory later.
(5) Insert the battery into the battery box and mate the connectors.
(6) Close and secure the battery box.
(7) Turn the RT over and set it on the battery box.
(8) Assemble the whip antenna with the flexible antenna base. DO NOT overtighten.
