How To Charging
1. Connect the optional OPC-656 DC power cable or
the BC-157S power adapter to the charger, as shown
below.
•No charger indicator lights up.
2. Insert a battery pack, with or without the transceiver,
into a charger charging slot.
•The charger indicator lights up in orange.
3. When the charger indicator changes to green, battery
charging is completed.
• But it is still charging in the trickle charge mode when
charging Ni-Cd or Ni-MH battery pack.

To a DC power
source
(12 ~ 16 V DC,
at least 7 A)
Charger indicator
(each indicator functions independently)
Use the spacer, if supplied with the charger adapter, to
charge the battery pack with or without transceiver
NOTES:
For Ni-Cd/Ni-MH battery packs:
The charger rapidly charges a battery pack to a specified
level, not a completed level, to prevent over-charging.
After the charger indicator turns green, leave the battery
pack in the charger for a few more hours (up to 15 hours,
depending on battery condition) to completely charge the
battery.
For Li-ion battery packs:
Li-ion batteries are different from Ni-Cd batteries in that it
is not necessary to completely charge and discharge them
to prolong the battery life. Therefore, charging the battery
in intervals, not for extended periods, is recommended.
CAUTION:
The transceiver
power must be turned OFF
during charging, otherwise:
• The battery will not be
charged correctly.
• The battery life may be
shortened.
The transceiver cannot be
used even while charging.
NOTES:
•
When the indicator turns off while a battery
pack is inserted:
May be a poor connection—reinsert the battery
pack again.
•
Flashes red when the protection circuit is
activated:
- Check the power source (voltage) or
reconnect the power plug.
- The battery temperature is outside of the
charging range. (Ni-MH battery only)
