Rapid charging

■
The optional BC-202 rapidly charges of the BP-271 or BP-272
Li-ion battery packs.
Charging note
D
• Be sure to turn OFF the transceiver power.
When the transceiver power cannot be turned OFF, detach
the battery pack from the transceiver then charge the battery
pack by itself, or charge the battery using regular charging.
Otherwise the battery pack will not be charged (the charg-
ing indicator on the BC-202 blinks orange about 10 second
after the battery pack is installed in BC-202).
• The BC-202 desktop charger can only charge BP-271 or
BP-272 Li-ion battery packs. Other types of rechargeable
battery, Ni-Cd or Ni-MH cannot be charged.
• If the charging indicator blinks orange, there may be a
problem with the battery pack or charger. If this occurs, try
charging the battery pack alone, without the transceiver,
or try using the standard (non-rapid) charger. Contact your
dealer if you have problems charging a new battery pack.
• NEVER place the transceiver with the battery pack to the
desktop charger when the transceiver is connected to the
DC power supply. This may cause the charger's malfunc-
tion and the charging indicator of the charger lights red. In
that case, disconnect the AC adapter from the charger, and
then reconnect the AC adapter to the charger.
• The optional CP-23L and OPC-515L can be used instead
of the supplied AC adapter. Connect one of these to the
[DC 12-16V] jack.
