Previous view 4 BATTERY CHARGING ■■Charging with the optional desktop charger The optional BC-202 rapidly charges of the BP-271 and BP-272 Li-ion battery packs. • Charging time: BP-271 approximately 2.0 hours BP-272 approximately 3.5 hours DDCharging note • Be sure to turn OFF the transceiver power. When the transceiver power cannot be turned OFF, detach the battery pack from the transceiver. Then charge the battery pack by itself, or charge the battery using regular charging. Otherwise the battery pack will not be charged (the charging indicator on the BC-202 blinks orange about 10 second after the battery pack is installed in BC-202). • The BC-202 desktop charger can only charge BP271 or BP-272 Li-ion battery packs. Other types of rechargeable batteries, Ni-Cd or Ni-MH cannot be charged. • If the charging indicator blinks orange, there may be a problem with the battery pack or charger. If this occurs, try charging the battery pack alone, without the transceiver, or try using the standard (non-rapid) charger. Contact your dealer if you have problems charging a new battery pack. • NEVER place the transceiver with the battery pack to the desktop charger when the transceiver is connected to the DC power source. This may cause the charger's malfunction and the charging indicator of the charger lights red. In that case, disconnect the power adapter from the charger, and then reconnect the power adapter to the charger. • The optional CP-23L and OPC-515L can be used instead of the supplied power adapter. Connect one of these to the [DC 12-16V] jack. 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.
