Mike,
Download the instructions for making the V2 mod to the Orion 1. It will
tell you how to remove the front panel. Once you have it off, you can see
the battery in the frond panel. It is about a half inch thick and about an
inch square. I hope this helps.
73,
John

Subject: [TenTec] Orion (Original) Battery
Hi John,
Can you, or anyone else, tell me where this battery is located? I can't do a
"Ram Clear" with my Orion in it's present state (won't boot). I'd like to
try that before sending it back to Ten Tec.
How much disassembly is required to get to the battery?
Thanks!

Bernhard,
Have you tried the Batter failure reset? I had trouble with my display in
September 2003 when I tried a beta version of the Orion software. Luckily
for me, the Ten-Tec Hamfest was the next week. I took the rig with me and
to clear the memory completely, they had to remove the backup battery.
Shortly after that, they added the function of holding the VFO-B lock and
turning on the radio. When battery failure shows on the screen, release the
button. This may help. You can read about it at
http://rfsquared.com/index.php?s=Updates&c=565&id=4. It says my screen went
blank.
73,
John
