BATTERY

CASE

.

• Be sure to observe the cor-

rect polarity.

A built-in step-up convertor in the BP-216 increases the

voltage to 5 V DC.

Approx. 100 mW of output power is possible with the BP-

216 operation. Also, no transmit output power selection is
available.

Keep battery contacts clean. It’s a good idea to clean bat-
tery terminals once a week.

D Battery information

The batteries may seem to have low capacity when used in
low temperatures such as –10°C 

(+14°F)

or below. Keep the

battery case or pack warm in this case.

D Battery replacement

When the batteries become exhausted, the function display
may blink or have a lower contrast. In these cases, replace
all batteries with new, same brand, alkaline batteries.

■ Battery information

D

D Battery life

The transceiver operates with the BP-217 as follows.
However, when operating in DV mode, operating time may be
shortened by one-half hour.

• VHF band

: Approx. 5 hours

• UHF band

: Approx. 4.5 hours

(Tx: Rx: Stand-by=1: 1: 8)

Even when the transceiver power is OFF, a slight current
still flows in the circuits. Remove the battery pack or case
from the transceiver when not using it for a long time. Oth-
erwise, the battery pack or installed batteries will become
exhausted.

D

D Battery indicator 

The battery indicator, “

,” appears only when the BP-217

is attached to the transceiver.

The battery indicator does not appear when turning power
ON after the charging is completed without disconnecting
the battery charger or external DC power.

The battery has ample capacity. 

The battery is nearing exhaustion. Charging is neces-
sary.
