D Charging note
• When using the supplied BC-167S battery charger, be
sure to turn OFF the transceiver power. Otherwise the
battery pack will not be charged completely, or it will
take much longer to charge.
• When using an optional CP-12L, CP-19R or OPC-
254L, the battery pack can be charged at power ON.
But by default, the battery pack cannot be charged at
power ON, so you should turn OFF the power before
charging. (p. 16-71)
• Even if rechargeable batteries, Ni-Cd or Ni-MH, are
installed in the optional BP-273 battery case, they
cannot be charged.
• The battery pack can be charged approximately 500
times.
• Charging period: BP-271 approximately 3.0 hours
BP-272 approximately 4.5 hours
BE SURE to attach the battery pack
before connecting the DC cable.
