Rapid charging
The optional BC-177 provides rapid charging of the battery
pack.
• Charging period:
approx. 2.5 hours (with BP-256)

Charging note
• Be sure to turn the transceiver power OFF.
Detach the battery pack from the transceiver then charge
the battery pack by itself, or charge the battery with regu-
lar charging when the transceiver power cannot be turned
OFF. Otherwise the battery pack will not be charged
(charg-
ing indicator on the BC-177 blinks orange about 10 sec. after the
battery pack is installed in BC-177)
.
• The desktop charger, BC-177, can only charge BP-256
battery packs. Other types of rechargeable battery, Ni-Cd
or Ni-MH cannot be charged.
• If the charging indicator blinks orange, there may be a
problem with the battery pack
(or charger)
. In this case, the
battery pack is charged alone (without the transceiver) or
regular charge is carried out. Contact your dealer when the
battery pack isn't charged.
• The optional CP-12L and OPC-254L can be used instead
of the supplied AC adapter. Connect one of these to the
[DC 13.5V] jack in this case.
