Charging note
• Be sure to turn the transceiver power OFF.
Otherwise the battery pack will not be charged completely or takes
longer charging time periods.
• External DC power operation becomes possible when
using an optional CP-19R. The attached battery pack is
also charged simultaneously, except during transmit. (see
p. 16 for more details)
Even through there is no indication during regular charg-
ing, the transceiver automatically stops charging the bat-
tery pack when the battery pack is fully charged (BP-
227’s voltage becomes approx. 7.4 V) or the continuous
charging time is over 15 hours.
