Got it. My unit is indeed  missing the battery holder and clips (someone may have pulled
them). I can now see how it would have attached to the SB. The connections are made via

work fine. I'll look tomorrow.  Thanks.

Got it, thanks.

Also note that the TM fig 13 on page 16 shows the cover attached to the

I don't think I have a cover, but will have to look in another storage area to be sure.

Thanks very much all. These lists are great.

PPS:  I'm looking for a pair of headsets also.
