and start charging again when disconnect then re-connecting the
AC adapter or DC power cable more than 1 min. interval.
Recommended temperature range for charging: +10˚C to +40˚C
NEVER connect an AC adapter or DC power cable with an external
DC power supply that outputs lower than 5.7 V DC and more than
6.3 V DC voltage when charging the installed BP-202.
The optional BP-202
batteries and can be charged approx. 300 times. Charge the battery
pack before first operating the transceiver or when the battery pack
becomes exhausted.
