BATTERY CHARGING

■ Desktop battery chargers

D Charging note
• Be sure to turn the transceiver power OFF.
• 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 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.
*Red indicator is only available for the BC-191 or BC-193.
• 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.
* CP-23L can only be used with the BC-191 or BC-193.
IMPORTANT:
Ensure the tabs on the battery
pack are correctly aligned with
the guide rails inside the charger.
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 charger.
