BATTERY CHARGING

NOTE: Before detaching or attaching a battery pack, BE SURE to turn OFF the transceiver by rotating [VOL] fully counter clockwise, until it makes a "click" sound. Otherwise, a transceiver malfunction could occur.

Rapid charging with the BC-213

You can rapidly charge the Li-ion battery pack with the BC-213.

Charging time:
Approximately 3.5 hours for the BP-280

Additionally needed item (purchase separately):

• A power adapter (may be supplied with the charger, depending on the charger version).

The CP-23L (for a 12 V cigarette lighter socket) can be used instead of the power adapter.

Charging indicator
Lights orange: Charging
Lights green: Charged

* A different type, or no power adapter is supplied, depending on the charger version.

NOTE: If the charging indicator alternately blinks green and orange, remove the battery pack or the transceiver from the charger, then reinsert it.

Rapid charging with the BC-214

You can rapidly and simultaneously charge up to 6 battery packs with the optional BC-214 (the AD-130 CHARGER ADAPTERS are installed.)

Charging time:
Approximately 3.5 hours for the BP-280

Additionally needed item (purchase separately):

• The BC-157S AC ADAPTER or the OPC-656 DC POWER CABLE

DO NOT reverse the polarity when connecting the OPC-656 to a power source. This will ruin the battery charger.
Red: , Black:

OPC-656
Connect to a DC power supply:
12 to 16 V, at least 7 A
Red: , Black:

*1: Charger adapter's shape may differ, depending on the charger version.

*2: A different type, or no power adapter is supplied, depending on the charger version.

NOTE: The BC-214 has a charging timer that stops charging after approximately 5.3 hours of charging.

BASIC OPERATION

Turning ON the transceiver

NOTE: Before using the transceiver for the first time, the battery pack must be fully charged for optimum life and operation. See the BATTERY CHARGING section.

• Rotate [VOL] to turn ON the transceiver.

Receiving and Transmitting

Receiving:

1. Select a channel.
   Rotate [Rotary Selector] or push [CH Up] or [CH Down], depending on the presetting.
2. When receiving a call, rotate [VOL] to adjust the audio output level to a comfortable listening level.

NOTE: Depending on the presetting, the transceiver may automatically transmit the microphone audio for the preset time period when a matching signal is received. (Auto TX function)

Transmitting:

Attach an antenna before transmitting. Transmitting without an antenna may damage the transceiver.

To maximize the readability of your signal:

Key Lock function

You can use the Key Lock function to prevent accidental channel changes and unnecessary function access, depending on the presetting.

All assignable keys except the following are electronically locked: [Monitor], [Call], [Call A], [Call B], [Emergency], [Light], [Lock], [Lone Worker], [Siren], [Surveillance], [Sp. Func 1], [Sp. Func 2], [Shift], [Clear]*, and [PTT].

*: For only the dPMR models.

You can also make or receive calls, or turn the transceiver ON or OFF, during the Key Lock function is ON.

• Hold down [Lock] for 1 second to turn the Key Lock function ON or OFF.
  For only the Simple-key and Ten-key types:
• "" is displayed when the Key Lock function is ON.
• "" disappears when the Key Lock function is OFF.

AquaQuake^TM Water Draining function

If the [AquaQuake] is assigned to a key, the AquaQuake Water Draining function clears water from the speaker grill to maintain clear audio by vibrating the speaker cone.
