PROBLEM

POSSIBLE CAUSE

SOLUTION

REF.

Desired set mode item
cannot be selected.

Programmed scan does
not start.

Memory or bank scan
does not start.

Charging indicator (BC-
164) lights red while
charging.

• “EXPAND” item is set to OFF.

• Program scan edges are not programmed.

• No or only one memory or bank channel is pro-

grammed.

• The temperature is too hot or too cold around the

charger (BC-164).

• Turn “EXPAND” item ON.

• Program a pair of scan edge channels.

• Program at least 2 memory or bank channels

• Place the charger within the speci

ed temperature

range (+5°C to +35°C; +41°F to +95 °F), then
charge the battery pack.
