BATTERY CHARGING 3 ■ Regular charging Prior to using the transceiver for the first time, the battery pack must be fully charged for optimum life and operation. D Battery icons While charging, the icons show " ," " " and " (disappears)" in sequence, and "CHARGE" appears when the transceiver's power is OFF. The icons and "CHARGE" disappear when the battery pack is completely charged. D Charging note • Be sure to turn the transceiver power OFF. Otherwise the battery pack will not be charged completely, or will take much longer to charge. • The transceiver can charge only the BP-264 battery pack. Other types of rechargeable battery, such as Ni-Cd or Li-Ion cannot be charged. • External DC power operation becomes possible when using an optional CP-12L, CP-19R or OPC-254L. The attached battery pack is also charged simultaneously, except during transmit (see p. 15 for more details). • The external DC power supply voltage must be between 10-16 V to charge the battery pack and for operation when using an optional OPC-254L. We recommend 11 V DC for operation. • If the battery icons (" " and " ") disappear only 1 min. after connecting to the DC power supply, the battery pack may have problem. In this case, contact your Icom dealer/ distributor, or purchase a new battery pack.
