Otherwise the battery pack will not be charged completely, or it will take much longer to charge. • When using an optional CP-12L, CP-19R or OPC- 254L, the battery pack can be charged at power ON. But by default, the battery pack cannot be charged at power ON, so you should turn OFF the power before charging. (p. 16-71) • Even if rechargeable batteries, Ni-Cd or Ni-MH, are installed in the optional BP-273 battery case, they cannot be charged. • The battery pack can be charged approximately 500 times. • Charging period: BP-271 approximately 3.0 hours BP-272 approximately 4.5 hours BE SURE to attach the battery pack before connecting the DC cable. ■ Charging through the [DC IN] jack Previous view

When using the BP-273 battery case, install three AA (LR6) size alkaline batteries, as described below. Remove the battery case if it is attached. (p. 1-2) q w Install three AA (LR6) size alkaline batteries. • Install only alkaline batteries. • Be sure to observe the correct polarity. Attach the battery case. (p. 1-2) e A built-in step-up converter in the BP-273 increases the voltage to 5.5 V DC. Approximately 100 mW of output power is possible with the BP-273 operation. Also, the transmit output power selection is disabled. CAUTION: • When installing batteries, make sure they are all the same brand, type and capacity. Also, do not mix new and old batteries together. • Keep the battery terminals clean. It’s a good idea to occasionally clean them. • Never incinerate used battery cells since the inter- nal battery gas may cause them to rupture. • Never expose a detached battery case to water. If the battery case gets wet, be sure to wipe it dry before using it. • Never use batteries whose insulated covering is damaged. • Remove the alkaline batteries when battery case is not used. Otherwise the installed alkaline batteries will exhausted due to built-in step-up converter. D Battery life The approximate battery life (operating time) as shown below is calculated under the following assumptions; • Power save setting: Auto (Short) • Duty cycle: TX : RX : Stand-by = 1 : 1: 8 (based on operating style) FM mode DV mode Approx. 7.5 hrs. Approx. 7 hrs. NOTE: • The battery life may differ, depending on the oper- ating style or the installed alkaline batteries. • The batteries may seem to have low capacity when used in low temperatures, such as –10°C (+14°F) or below. Keep the batteries warm in this case. D About the battery replacement When the alkaline batteries are almost exhausted, “LOW BATTERY” is displayed and the battery icon starts to blink. After 10 seconds, the transceiver power is automatically turned OFF. In that case, replace all batteries with new alkaline bat- teries. When the BP-273 battery case is attached to the transceiver, the battery icon cannot display the bat- tery capacity of the alkaline batteries. The battery icon stays “ 点滅 ���� ���� ,” and it does not reflect with the true battery capacity. Previous view

seconds or more with the battery pack installed in the transceiver, try charging the BP-271 alone. You can also try regular charging the BP-271 attached to the transceiver. The optional BC-202 rapidly charges of the BP-271 and BP-272 Li-ion battery packs. D Charging note • Be sure to turn OFF the transceiver power. When the transceiver power cannot be turned OFF, detach the battery pack from the transceiver. Then charge the battery pack by itself, or charge the bat- tery using regular charging. Otherwise the battery pack will not be charged (the charging indicator on the BC-202 blinks orange about 10 second after the battery pack is installed in BC-202). • The BC-202 desktop charger can only charge BP- 271 or BP-272 Li-ion battery packs. Other types of rechargeable batteries, 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. If this oc- curs, try charging the battery pack alone, without the transceiver, or try using the standard (non-rapid) char- ger. Contact your dealer if you have problems charg- ing a new battery pack. • NEVER place the transceiver with the battery pack to the desktop charger when the transceiver is con- nected to the DC power supply. This may cause the charger’s malfunction and the charging indicator of the charger lights red. In that case, disconnect the AC adapter from the charger, and then reconnect the AC adapter to the charger. • The optional CP-23L and OPC-515L can be used instead of the supplied AC adapter. Connect one of these to the [DC 12-16V] jack. CAUTION: When using the OPC-515L DC power cable NEVER connect the OPC-515L to a power source using reverse polarity. This will ruin the battery char- ger.

But “SLO” ap- pears while transmitting, and the output power is limited to approximately 0.1 watts. High power (5 W) Mid power (2.5 W) Low2 power (1.0 W) S-Low power (0.1 W) R WARNING! NEVER transmit for long periods of time. During prolonged transmissions at high power or mid power, the transceiver radiates heat to protect itself from overheating. The transceiver’s chassis will be- come hot and may cause a burn. • To prevent the transceiver’s overheating, the default set- ting of the time-out timer function is set to 5 minutes (p. 16- 68). Be careful when the time-out timer function is turned OFF or set to a long time period, and you transmit for long periods. DO NOT operate the transceiver in a situation that will obstruct heat dissipation, especially if the transceiver uses an external power supply. Heat dissipation may be affected, and it may cause a burn, warp the casing or damage the transceiver. NOTE: When the transceiver becomes hot, the trans- ceiver’s heat protection function gradually reduces the output power to approximately 2.5 watts, then it stops transmission after that. This is done to protect the transceiver itself until it can cool down. CONNECT to only the rated voltage range when us- ing an external power supply.

Amateur Radio) plan, JARL envisioned a system of repeaters grouped together into Zones. • The D-STAR repeater enables you to call a HAM sta- tion in another area through the internet. • The transceiver can be operated in the digital voice mode, including low-speed data operation, for both transmit and receive. It has a built-in GPS receiver to transmit and receive position data. About the DR (D-STAR Repeater) mode ■ The DR (D-STAR Repeater) mode is one mode you can use for D-STAR repeater operation. In this mode, you can select the preprogrammed repeater or frequency in “FROM” (the access repeater or simplex), and UR call sign in “TO” (destination), as shown to the right. NOTE: If the repeater, set to “FROM” (Access Re- peater) has no Gateway call sign, you cannot make a gateway call. Destination (Repeater/Station) Access repeater or Simplex In the DR mode IMPORTANT! Before starting D-STAR, the following steps are needed. STEP 1 Entering your call sign (MY) into the transceiver. STEP 2 Registering your call sign (MY) to a gateway repeater.

NOTE: • Programming the repeater list is required for DR mode operation. (pp. 9-23 to 9-31) • Before operating in the DV mode, be sure to check whether the repeater is busy, or not. If the repeater is busy, wait until it is clear, or ask for a “break” using a method acceptable to your local procedures. • The transceiver has a Time-Out Timer function for digital repeater operation. The timer limits a continuous trans- mission to approximately 10 minutes. Warning beeps will sound approximately 30 seconds before time-out and then again immediately before time-out.
