3 BATTERY CHARGING Connecting BC-202IP3L together 2 1 You can connect up to 6 BC-202IP3L together. 1. Remove the charger's right cover. (1) 2. Snap the DC power plug to the another charger's DC power jack. (2) RRWARNING! NEVER connect more than 6 chargers together. It may result in an electric shock, cause a fire, overheating, or damage the chargers. RRWARNING! NEVER use other than the BC-228 AC adapter when connecting multiple BC-202IP3L units. It may result in an electric shock, cause a fire, overheating, or damage the chargers. External DC power operation Operating note •• DO NOT connect over 16 V DC directly into the [DC IN] jack of the transceiver. The power source voltage must be between 10.0 V ~ 16.0 V DC. •• DO NOT transmit at high power for a long period of time. The transceiver becomes hot, and it may cause a burn. •• Use the optional CP-12L or OPC-254L when using the external DC power. •• Confirm the correct polarity of the OPC-254L supply connection. Connect the OPC-254L to an external power source (user supplied). •• Use an external DC-DC converter to connect the transceiver through the optional CP-12L or OPC254L to a 24 V DC power source. Ask your dealer for details. •• When the external power is used, the Power Save function (p. 12-18) is automatically turned OFF. •• Depending on the external power voltage, the battery pack may be used to operate the transceiver, and the battery pack capacity is consumed. TIP: The battery pack can be charged even if the transceiver is ON when "Charging (Power ON)" is set to "ON" (default). This operation may generate certain spurious signals, and the S-meter may appear, or noise may be heard. When you operate the transceiver while charging, and if you cannot receive signals correctly, set "Charging (Power ON)" to "OFF."
