BATTERY CHARGING

N Regular charging

Prior to using the transceiver for the first time, the battery 
pack must be fully charged for optimum life and operation.

D Battery icons

The icons show “

,” “

” and “

 (disappers)” in se-

quence and “CHARGE” appears while charging (when the 
transceiver’s power is OFF). The icons and “CHARGE” dis-
appear when the battery pack is completely charged.

D Charging note

• Be sure to turn the transceiver power OFF.

Otherwise the battery pack will not be charged completely 
or will take much longer to charge.

• The transceiver can charge only the BP-264 battery pack. 

Other types of rechargeable battery, Ni-Cd or Li-Ion batter-
ies cannot be charged.

• External DC power operation becomes possible when using 

an optional CP-12L, CP-19R or OPC-254L. The attached 
battery pack is also charged simultaneously, except during 
transmit (see p. 15 for more details).

• The external DC power supply voltage must be between 

10–16 V to charge the battery pack and for operation when 
using an optional OPC-254L. (We recommend 11 V DC for 
operation.)

• If the battery icons (“

” and “

”) disappears only after 

1 min. from connecting to the DC power supply, the bat-
tery pack may have problem. In this case, 

contact your Icom 

dealer/distributor, or pu

rchase a new battery pack.

pending on the operating frequencies and/or antenna used.
