• Power supply range is between 5.5–11.0 V DC.
NEVER connect over 11.5 V DC directly into the DC
power jack of the transceiver.
• BE SURE to use the CP-19E when connecting a regu-
lated 12 V DC power supply.
• If a battery pack is attached, the voltage of the external
power supply must be within 11.5–16 V DC, otherwise,
the battery power may be used for operation.
