Jerry, The battery connections unplug from the RF Board with a keyed 2 conductor plug. It plugs in near the end of the antenna tuner (the end near the DC coaxial power plug). Should it become unplugged while changing batteries, just put it back in - I believe most KX1 owners actually remove the plug when changing batteries just because it is easier that way. The two "lugs" on the connector housing should point toward the projecting tab on the mating connector on the KX1 board. Try it, you should be able to feel it with your fingers.
