BATTERY CHARGING

■ Charging with the optional desktop charger

The optional BC-202 rapidly charges of the BP-271
and BP-272 Li-ion battery packs.

D Charging note

• 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 bat-
tery using regular charging. Otherwise the battery
pack will not be charged (the charging 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 batteries, 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 oc-
curs, try charging the battery pack alone, without the
transceiver, or try using the standard (non-rapid) char-
ger. Contact your dealer if you have problems charg-
ing a new battery pack.
• NEVER place the transceiver with the battery pack
to the desktop charger when the transceiver is con-
nected to the DC power supply. This may cause the
charger's malfunction 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.
CAUTION: When using the OPC-515L DC power
cable
NEVER connect the OPC-515L to a power source
using reverse polarity. This will ruin the battery char-
ger.

NOTE: If the charging indicator blinks orange for 10
seconds or more with the battery pack installed in the
transceiver, try charging the BP-271 alone. You can
also try regular charging the BP-271 attached to the
transceiver.
