BATTERY CHARGING

New2001

■ External DC power operation

An optional CP-12L or CP-19R cigarette lighter cable, for a

12 V cigarette lighter socket, or an OPC-254L external DC

power cable can be used for external power.

D Operating note

•The power supply voltage must be between 10.0–16.0 V

DC.

NEVER CONNECT OVER 16 V DC directly into the [DC IN]

jack of the transceiver.

•BE SURE to use a CP-12L, CP-19R or OPC-254L when

connecting a regulated 12 V DC power supply.

Use an external DC-DC converter to connect the transceiv-

er through an optional CP-12L, CP-19R or OPC-254L to a

24 V DC power source.

•Thevoltageoftheexternalpowersupplymustbebetween

10–16 V DC when using either CP-12L, CP-19R or OPC-

254L, otherwise, use the battery pack.

•Disconnect the power cables from the transceiver when

not using it. Otherwise, the vehicle battery will become ex-

hausted.

NOTE: Up to 5 W (approximately) of maximum output

power is possible when using external DC power. However,

when the supply voltage exceeds 14 V, the built-in protec-

tion circuit activates to reduce the transmit output power to

approximately 2.5 W.
