■ Rapid charging
The optional BC-177 provides rapid charging of the battery
pack.
• Charging period: approx. 2.5 hours (with BP-256)
D Charging note
• Be sure to turn the transceiver power OFF.
Detach the battery pack from the transceiver then charge
the battery pack by itself, or charge the battery with regu-
lar charging when the transceiver power cannot be turned
OFF. Otherwise the battery pack will not be charged
(charg-
ing indicator on the BC-177 blinks orange about 10 sec. after the
battery pack is installed in BC-177).
• The desktop charger, BC-177, can only charge BP-256
battery pack. Other types of rechargeable battery, Ni-Cd or
Ni-MH cannot be charged.
• If the charging indicator blinks orange, there may be a
problem with the battery pack
(or charger). In this case, the
battery pack is charged alone (without the transceiver) or
regular charge is carried out. Contact your dealer when the
battery pack isn’t charged.
• The optional CP-12L and OPC-254L can be used instead
of the supplied AC adapter. Connect one of these to the
[DC 13.5V] jack in this case.
