BATTERY CHARGING

■ Charging through the [DC IN] jack

Prior to using the transceiver for the first time, the bat-
tery pack must be fully charged for optimum life and
operation.
BE SURE to turn OFF the power while charging with
the supplied battery charger. Otherwise the attached
battery pack cannot be charged. (see page 4-6 for de-
tails)

D Battery icon

While charging, the charging icon "
shows eleven level steps along with the word "Charg-
ing...".
The icon disappears when the battery pack is com-
pletely charged.

D Charging note

• When using the supplied battery charger (BC-167S),
be sure to turn OFF the transceiver power. Otherwise
the battery pack will not be charged completely, or it
will take much longer to charge.
• When using an optional CP-12L, CP-19R or OPC-
254L, the battery pack can be charged with the
power ON. But by default, the battery pack cannot be
charged with the power ON, so you should turn OFF
the power before charging. (p. 16-79)
• Even if rechargeable batteries, Ni-Cd or Ni-MH, are
installed in the optional BP-273 battery case, they
cannot be charged.
BE SURE to replace the battery pack with a new one
approximately five years after manufacturing, even if
it still holds a charge. The material inside the battery
cells will become weak after a period of time, even
with little use. The estimated number of times you can
charge the pack is between 300 and 500. Even when
the pack appears to be fully charged, the operating
time of the transceiver may become short when:
• Approximately five years have passed since the pack
was manufactured.
• The pack has been repeatedly charged.
" sequentially
• Charging period: BP-271 approximately 3.0 hours
Turn OFF the power
while charging the
battery pack.
BE SURE to attach the battery pack
before connecting the DC cable.
