BATTERY PACKS

■ Battery charging

Prior to using the transceiver for the ﬁrst time, the battery

pack must be fully charged for optimum life and operation.

• Recommended temperature range for charging:

+10°C to +40°C (50°F to 140°F).

• Use the supplied charger or optional charger (BC-119/BC-

121 for rapid charging) only. NEVER use other manufactur-

ers’ chargers.

• An optional cable OPC-254L (for 13.8 V power source) or

CP-12L (for 12 V cigarette lighter socket) can be used in-

stead of the AC adapters supplied with the above chargers.

When using the BC-119: If the charge indicator ﬂashes

orange, the vehicle battery voltage is low and charging

may not be performed. Check the vehicle battery voltage

in this case. If the charge indicator ﬂashes red, there may

be a problem with the battery pack (or charger). Re-insert

the battery pack or contact your dealer.

CAUTION: To avoid damage to the transceiver, turn it

OFF while charging.
