■ Attaching the IP501H to the BC-218
Prior to using the IP501H for the first time, or the
IP501H has not been used for more than 2 months, the
battery pack must be fully charged for optimum life and
operation.
• The charging indicator lights orange while charging,
lights green when the battery pack has been 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.
• The charger automatically restarts charging when the
attached battery pack starts discharge.
• Disconnect the AC cable from the outlet when the
charger is not in use.
• Do not disconnect the DC power cable from the BC-
128 when using the Bluetooth device. Otherwise the
Bluetooth communication is disconnected.
• NEVER charge or leave the battery pack in areas with
extremely high temperatures, such as near fires or
stoves, inside a sun-heated vehicle, or in direct sun-
light.
• Do not insert the BP-273A to the BC-218.
Attach the belt clip, then insert the IP501H into the BC-218
until it is locked in place.

Bluetooth® operation
About the Electromagnetic Interference:
When you use a Bluetooth device, pay attention to
the following:
Bluetooth devices operate in the 2.4 GHz band. The
2.4 GHz band is also used by other devices, such
as Wireless LAN products, microwave ovens, RFID
systems, amateur radio stations, and so on.
When using this device near such devices, interfer-
ence may occur, causing a decrease in communica-
tion speed, and an unstable connection.
In such cases, use this device away from the other
devices, or stop using those devices.
NOTE:
Refer to the IP501H manual for details including
paring, connecting and operation.

• You can connect to other Bluetooth wireless technology
enabled devices (Headset or Data) with the installed
Bluetooth unit.
• Only IP501H is guaranteed as of October 2017.
• You may not use this function, depending on the
presetting. Ask your dealer for detail.
• The communication range of Bluetooth is approximately
10 meters (33 feet).
• Up to 6 Bluetooth devices can be stored on the pairing
device list. But using only one pair of Bluetooth devices is
recommended.
Connect the HM-215 to the BC-218's MIC jack securely, and place the BC-218 on a flat place.
• Do not insert the IP501H into the BC-218 when the BP-273A
battery
case
is attached.
