Okay. That's the panel 8 floodlights. Now we're going to take panel 5 and put the FLOODLIGHT rheostat to FLOOD and the LEB, that's panel 100, FLOODLIGHTS are also going to FIXED. And the purpose of this is to balance up buses A and B.
-
Jack Swigert (CMP)
-
Okay. Panel 5; FLOODLIGHTS; you want the rheostat on. Panel 100, FLOODLIGHTS; you want FIXED.
-
Ken Mattingly
-
That's affirmative. Okay. On panel 8: circuit breakers EMS, MAIN A and MAIN B, that's two, open.
-
Ken Mattingly
-
Okay. That's correct. On panel 5: circuit breaker BAT CHARGE, BATTERY A CHARGE, closed.
-
Ken Mattingly
-
All right. Like to take MAIN BUS TIES, two of them, on and up. That's probably a verify.
-
Jack Swigert (CMP)
-
Okay, Ken. Wait on that one here. I'm just about to lose you here. Just—I've got to change OMNIs.
-
Ken Mattingly
-
Okay. Good. On panel 276: circuit breaker INSTRUMENTATION POWER CONTROL, 3 and 4, open.
-
Ken Mattingly
-
All right. On panel 276: circuit breaker INSTRUMENTATION POWER CONTROL, 3 and 4, open.
-
Ken Mattingly
-
That's affirmative. Okay. Panel 5: circuit breaker CENTRAL INSTRUMENTATION POWER, MAIN B, closed.
-
Ken Mattingly
-
Okay, Jack. We want to put the PRIMARY and the SECONDARY EVAPORATED WATER CONTROL valves to AUTO.
-
Ken Mattingly
-
That's affirmative, and did you copy about the readout on the battery and charger?

Ken Mattingly
-
Okay. Thank you. All right, the next little step after your water control valves is to perform the CSM RCS preheat. We'll do that on page E/1-5, steps 35 and 37.
-
Ken Mattingly
-
That's affirmative. Now back to panel 5: circuit breaker CAUTION AND WARNING, MAIN B, closed.
-
Jack Swigert (CMP)
-
Okay, Ken. The COMM from you is awful weak—awful weak, I—I can't—it's CB EPS SENSOR UNIT. Say again, after that.
-
Ken Mattingly
-
All right, Jack. That's CB EPS SENSOR UNIT, DC, that's Delta Charlie, BUS A and B, closed.
-
Jack Swigert (CMP)
-
Okay. CB EPS SENSOR UNIT, DC BUS A and B, close. And I'll give you the volts and amps.
-
Ken Mattingly
-
That's affirmative. Okay, now we're at EI minus 5 plus 05. And, as far as you're concerned, Jack, the command module is using this for information only. This will be the LM doing an Earth-terminator AGS alinement; and at the time of 5 plus 05 is the time they'll be going ahead and releasing their ball. And this will be covered in the LM checklist; it'll be uplinked after this one. At EI minus 5, we perform midcourse number 7. Over.
-
Jack Swigert (CMP)
-
Okay. At EI minus 05:05, the LM is making an Earth-terminator aline; and at EI minus 05:00, we perform MCC-7.
-
Ken Mattingly
-
That's correct. At the completion of midcourse 7, the LM will maneuver to a separation attitude. And this attitude will be sent up on one of the pads that you're going to get before all the sequence starts. And it'll be flown to the LM ball angles on that pad.
-
Ken Mattingly
-
All right. At EI minus 4 plus 40, we want to perform page 1-6, step 39 of the entry checklist.
-
Jack Swigert (CMP)
-
Ken, I—I didn't get it. We had to change OMNI's again. Could you say it—the EI minus 4 dash—or 04:40, we do something.
-
Ken Mattingly
-
That's correct. Okay. The next is the command module RCS activation, and that's step 4-1 of page E/1-6.
-
Ken Mattingly
-
All right, Jack. The next is at EI minus 4 plus 30. We want to verify that the LM is configured for command module RCS hotfire.
-
Jack Swigert (CMP)
-
Okay. Let's repeat it. Stand by. Cut out. We've really got a strange attitude, so this is why we are having the COMM problem. Panel 5: CB G&N IMU HEATER, MAIN B, closed.

That's affirmative. On panel 1: ROTATION CONTROL POWER, NORMAL. That's two of them, to AC/DC.
