BATTERY PACKS 7

■Charging precautions

NEVER connect two or more chargers at the same time.

Charging may not occur under temper- atures of 10°C (+50°F) or over temper- atures of 40°C (+104°F).

When using BC-119: If the charge indicator flashes orange, vehicle bat- tery voltage is low and charging is not possible. Check the vehicle bat- tery 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.

■Battery pack charging

The BP-200L BATTERY PACK includes rechargeable Ni-MH batteries and can be charged approx. 300 times. Charge the battery pack before first operating the transceiver or when the battery pack becomes exhausted.

If you want to be able to charge the bat- tery pack more than 300 times, the fol- lowing points should be observed:

1.Avoid overcharging. The charging pe- riod should be less than 48 hours.

2.Use the battery until it becomes al- most completely exhausted under normal conditions. We recommend battery charging just after transmitting becomes impossible.

DRapid charging with the BC-119

The optional BC-119 provides rapid charging of battery packs.

One AD-87 and an AC adapter (may be supplied with the BC-119 depending on version) are additionally required.

wInsert the optional AD-87A* CHARGE ADAPTER into the charging slot of the BC-119.

eInsert the optional AD-87B*CHARGE ADAPTER into the AD-87A*CHARGE ADAPTER.

rInsert the battery pack, either by it- self or attached to the transceiver, into the whole assembly for charg- ing. (p. 26)

*AD-87A and AD-87B supplied together named
