CONNECTING TO A REGULATED POWER SUPPLY

To connect the transceiver to an appropriate regulated DC power supply, use an optional PG-2W DC cable.

1Confirm that the power of both the transceiver and the DC power supply is OFF.

2Connect the optional PG-2W DC cable to the DC power supply; the red lead to the positive (+) terminal, and the black lead to the negative (–) terminal.

3Connect the barrel plug on the DC cable to the DC IN jack of the transceiver.

While a DC power supply is connected with the DC IN jack, the transceiver automatically initiates charging the PB-43N Ni-MH battery pack.

Note:

◆If the DC power supply voltage is below 12.0 V DC, you may not be able to charge the PB-43N Ni-MH battery pack.

◆The supply voltage must be between 12.0 V and 16.0 V to prevent damaging the transceiver. If the input voltage exceeds approximately 16.5 V, warning beeps sound and “DC ERR” appears. Remove the DC IN jack plug immediately.

◆If the DC power supply voltage is above 14.5 V DC and “”

(High Power) is selected, the “” icon blinks and the output power is gradually reduced to “” level (Medium Power) {page 95}.
