■ External DC power operation
An optional cigarette lighter cable (CP-12L or CP-19R; for
12 V cigarette lighter socket) or external DC power cable
(OPC-254L) can be used for external power operation. (We
recommend the CP-19R when you want to connect a 12 V
cigarette lighter socket.)
D Operating note
•Powersupplyvoltagemustbebetween10.0–16.0 V DC.
(We recommend 11.0 V DC.) NEVER CONNECT OVER
16 V DC directly into the [DC IN] jack of the transceiver.
•BE SURE to use a CP-12L, CP-19R or OPC-254L when
connecting to a regulated 12 V DC power supply.
Use an external DC-DC converter to connect the trans-
ceiver through a CP-12L, CP-19R or OPC-254L to a 24 V
DC power source.
•Thevoltageoftheexternalpowersupplymustbewithin
10–16 V DC when using either CP-12L, CP-19R or OPC-
254L, otherwise, use the battery pack/battery case.

NOTE: Up to 5 W (approx.) of maximum output power
is available when using an external DC power. However,
when the supplied voltage exceeds 14 V, the built-in pro-
tection circuit activates to reduce the transmit output power
to 2.5 W (approx.).
