• Be sure to turn the transceiver power OFF.

Otherwise the battery pack will not be charged completely or takes
longer charging time periods.

• External DC power operation becomes possible when using

an optional CP-19R. The attached battery pack is also
charged simultaneously, except during transmit. (see p. 16
for more details)

Even through there is no indication during regular charg-
ing, the transceiver automatically stops charging the bat-
tery pack when the battery pack is fully charged (BP-227’s
voltage becomes approx. 7.2 V) or the continuous charg-
ing time is over 15 hours.
