External DC power operation

Operating note
• DO NOT connect over 16 V DC directly into the
[DC IN] jack of the transceiver� The power source
voltage must be between 10�0 V ~ 16�0 V DC�
• DO NOT transmit at high power for a long period
of time� The transceiver becomes hot, and it may
cause a burn�
• Use the optional CP-12L or OPC-254L when using
the external DC power�
• Confirm the correct polarity of the OPC-254L
supply connection� Connect the OPC-254L to an
external power source (user supplied)�
• Use an external DC-DC converter to connect the
transceiver through the optional CP-12L or OPC-
254L to a 24 V DC power source� Ask your dealer
for details�
• When the external power is used, the Power Save
function (p� 12-18) is automatically turned OFF�
• Depending on the external power voltage,
the battery pack may be used to operate the
transceiver, and the battery pack capacity is
consumed�
TIP: The battery pack can be charged even if the
transceiver is ON when "Charging (Power ON)" is
set to "ON" (default)�
This operation may generate certain spurious
signals, and the S-meter may appear, or noise may
be heard�
When you operate the transceiver while charging,
and if you cannot receive signals correctly, set
"Charging (Power ON)" to "OFF�"
