GENERAL

One-Plug Power Plus (OPP+) is a custom add-on accessory for the Yaesu FT-817 and FT-817ND (instructions are

the same for both the FT-817 and FT-817ND). The OPP+ solves the tedious and annoying battery recharging

process of either (1) using the internal FT-817 charger for about 16 hours or (2) having to open the battery cover

door, disconnect the battery pack from the radio, connect to the external charger, disconnect from the external

charger, reconnect the battery pack to the radio, and replace the door. One-Plug Power Plus replaces your present

battery pack, battery cover door, and electrical connector to the radio with an integrated power unit.

One-Plug Power Plus installation is a snap!

1. With the FT-817 power turned OFF and any external power supply disconnected, remove your present

battery cover door, battery pack/holder, and disconnect it from the radio.

2. Insert the One-Plug Power Plus battery pack and connect to the radio.

3. Drill hole in battery cover door (if desired) and replace door onto radio.

4. Close the battery cover door.

5. Insert supplied dust plug.

Be sure to take a good look inside your battery compartment; it may be the last time. With One-Plug Power Plus,

you may never have to open the battery cover door again!

One-Plug Power Plus offers you a number of advantages over the optional Yaesu NiCd Battery Pack or the Yaesu

supplied Alkaline Battery Holder (FBA-28). These include the following:

 No permanent modification at all to the FT-817 is required.

 High-capacity 2300 mAh NiMH battery pack.

 The radio & battery are protected from over-current conditions by self-resetting fuses (positive &

negative battery leads).

 OPP+ includes a resettable thermal fuse (55 C) tailored specifically for the FT-817.

 Option: Specially modified Yaesu FT-817 battery cover door.

 One-time plug into the low-life-cycle FT-817 Molex connector.

 Power plug mounted on battery to allow for external fast charging (and without opening the door if

using a modified door).

 OPP+ fuses provide protection even while using the external charger.

 External charging automatically removes radio from circuit for maximum protection of your FT-817.

 Internal FT-817 charger can still be used to charge the One-Plug Power Plus battery pack.

INSTALLATION

READ THESE INSTRUCTIONS COMPLETELY BEFORE DOING ANYTHING ELSE

1. Turn OFF the FT-817 power.

2. Remove any external power source connected to the FT-817.

3. Place the FT-817 with its bottom side facing up and the front panel facing you.

4. Open and remove the battery cover door. Decide if you want to use the fast charge feature by opening

the battery cover door or by plugging through a hole in the door. If you want to use the door as is, then

go to Step 5. Otherwise, use the OPP+ optional battery cover door OR drill the hole yourself using the

following diagram. Once the door is prepared, set it aside.
