BATTERY PACKS
■
Regular charging
When using a BP-227 BATTERY PACK attached to the trans-
ceiver, prior to using the transceiver for the first time, the bat-
tery pack must be fully charged for optimum life and
operation.
D D Charging note
• Be sure to turn the transceiver power OFF.
Otherwise the battery pack will not be charged completely or takes
longer charging time periods.
• External DC power operation becomes possible when using
an optional CP-19R. The attached battery pack is also
charged simultaneously, except during transmit. (see p. 16
for more details)
Even through there is no indication during regular charg-
ing, the transceiver automatically stops charging the bat-
tery pack when the battery pack is fully charged (BP-227’s
voltage becomes approx. 7.2 V) or the continuous charg-
ing time is over 15 hours.
