I B/ BATTERY PACKS 12 H Charging precautions NEVER attempt to charge dry cell batteries. Whig will cause internal liquid leakage and damage the battery case and transceiver. NEVER constrictor two or more chargers at the same time. Charging may nof furnace under temperatures of 10°C (50°F) or over temperatures of 40°C (104°F). 7 When using BC-118: If the charge 22 indicator flashes orange, vehicle bat not possible. Check the vehicle battery voltage in this case.
© Multiple charging with the BC-121 The optional BC-121 allows up-to 6 battery packs to be charged simultaneously. Six AD-81’s and an AC adapter (may be supplied with the BC-121 depending on version) are additionally required. »Charging periods: 1.5 hours 2 hours Charge indicator {each indicator function independently} AC adapter {not supplied with some versions) BATTERY PACKS 7 < Regular charging (1) Attach the battery pack to the transceiver. (2} Be sure 1o turn the transceiver power OFF.
7 BATTERY PACKS B About the battery pack & Operating period Depending on the attached battery pack, the operating period of the transceiver varies. Refer to the last page for battery pack specifications. < Battery pack life If your battery pack seems fo have no capacity even after being fully charged, completely discharge it by leaving the power ON overnight. Then, fully charge the battery pack again, it the battery pack still does riot retain a charge (or very little), a new battery pack must be purchased.
Cloning allows you to quickly and easily o DOWER ON transfer the programmed contents from =~ one transceiver to another transceiver, or, data from PC to a transceiver using the optional EX-2119 cloning software. < Transceiver to transceiver cloning (D Connect the CPD-474 coining case with adapter plugs to the [SP] jack of the master and slave transceivers. = The master transceiver is Used o send dale o the slave transceiver. (2)While pushing [VIM].
O TROUBLESHOOTING If your transceiver seems to be malfunctioning, please check the following points before sending it to a service center.
