04 02 43 16
Jim Lovell (CDR): Roger.
04 02 48 01
Jim Lovell (CDR): Houston, Aquarius.
04 02 48 05
Vance Brand (CAPCOM): Go ahead, Aquarius.
04 02 48 09
Jim Lovell (CDR): Our REPRESS package pressure is 820.
04 02 48 14
Vance Brand (CAPCOM): Okay. REPRESS pressure 820. Thank you.
04 02 54 17
Vance Brand (CAPCOM): Aquarius, Houston.
04 02 54 23
Jim Lovell (CDR): Go ahead, Houston.
04 02 54 26
Vance Brand (CAPCOM): Jim, could you switch your BIOMED switch to the position opposite to where it is now? We are getting a subcarrier, but no data. Over.
04 02 54 45
Jim Lovell (CDR): Now you know, Houston, I don't have BIOMED on.
04 02 54 53
Vance Brand (CAPCOM): Okay. And we have a small addition to the procedure that was read up to you earlier, which involves power transfer from the LM to the CSM.
04 02 55 17
Jim Lovell (CDR): Stand by 1.
04 02 55 19
Vance Brand (CAPCOM): Okay.
04 02 55 59
Jim Lovell (CDR): Okay, Houston. Go ahead.
04 02 56 02
Vance Brand (CAPCOM): Okay. At the end of the procedure, after the step BAT 5 and 6, OFF, add the following: circuit breakers, panels—panels 11 and 16, ASCENT ECA CONTROL, both open. Over.
04 02 56 37
Jim Lovell (CDR): Okay. After the step BAT 5 and 6, OFF, step 3 will be circuit breakers panels 11 and 16 ASCENT ECA CONTROL, both open.
04 02 56 50
Vance Brand (CAPCOM): That's correct, Jim. And this is to guard against a single-point failure that—a remote possibility that would preclude you from getting the batteries back on.
04 02 57 04
Jim Lovell (CDR): Roger.
04 02 58 20
Vance Brand (CAPCOM): Go ahead.
04 03 49 43
Jim Lovell (CDR): Houston, Aquarius.
04 03 49 47
Vance Brand (CAPCOM): Go ahead, Jim.
04 03 49 52
Jim Lovell (CDR): Okay. We just had a battery warning … Battery 2.
04 03 50 07
Vance Brand (CAPCOM): Stand by, Jim. The COMM's no good here right now.
04 03 50 20
Jim Lovell (CDR): Houston, Aquarius. How do you read now?
04 03 50 23
Vance Brand (CAPCOM): Go ahead. Loud and clear.
04 03 50 26
Jim Lovell (CDR): Okay. We just had a battery warning MASTER ALARM, and it looks like it's battery 2.
04 03 50 38
Vance Brand (CAPCOM): Roger.
04 03 50 48
Vance Brand (CAPCOM): Roger, Houston—This is Houston. Could you close the POWER AMP circuit breaker, and we'll get some high bit rate?
04 03 50 56
Jim Lovell (CDR): Roger.
04 03 51 08
Jim Lovell (CDR): It's closed.
04 03 51 09
Vance Brand (CAPCOM): Okay. And we need high bit rate.
04 03 51 49
Jim Lovell (CDR): Are you picking it up, Houston?

04 03 51 53
Vance Brand (CAPCOM): Roger. And we want to open the BAL LOAD CROSS TIE on panel 16. Over.
04 03 52 00
Jim Lovell (CDR): Say again.
04 03 52 01
Vance Brand (CAPCOM): Open the BAL LOAD CROSS TIE breaker on panel 16. Over.
04 03 52 08
Jim Lovell (CDR): Open BALANCE LOAD CROSS TIE breaker on 16. Roger.
04 03 52 11
Vance Brand (CAPCOM): That's affirm.
04 03 52 13
Jim Lovell (CDR): It's open.
04 03 53 12
Jim Lovell (CDR): If you're getting high bit data, we could do an OFF/RESET and go back on on battery 2. We're standing by for that.

04 03 53 29
Vance Brand (CAPCOM): Okay. Could you turn off battery 2, and leave it off and let us look at it?
04 03 53 36
Jim Lovell (CDR): Say again. You want us to turn off battery 2, and leave it off until you look at it?
04 03 53 39
Vance Brand (CAPCOM): That's affirmative.
04 03 53 42
Jim Lovell (CDR): Okay. Battery 2 coming off the line.
04 03 54 27
Vance Brand (CAPCOM): Okay, Aquarius. So you want to stay in this configuration for awhile, and let's look at the battery.
04 03 54 34
Jim Lovell (CDR): Roger. We'll stay in this configuration.
04 03 54 41
Vance Brand (CAPCOM): Want to close the BAL LOADS circuit breaker back now.
04 03 55 00
Vance Brand (CAPCOM): 13, Houston. We want to close the BAL LOADS circuit breaker on panel 16 now, again.
04 03 55 08
Jim Lovell (CDR): We have it closed; the closed—BALANCE LOADS circuit breaker is closed.
04 03 55 13
Vance Brand (CAPCOM): Roger.
04 03 55 41
Vance Brand (CAPCOM): Aquarius, Houston. Request RANGE FUNCTIONS switch to RANGE …
04 03 55 49
Jim Lovell (CDR): All right. RANGE FUNCTIONS switch going to RANGE.
