DD
Charging note
• Be sure to turn the transceiver power OFF.
Detach the battery pack from the transceiver then charge
the battery pack by itself, or charge the battery with regular
charging when the transceiver power cannot be turned OFF.
Otherwise the battery pack will not be charged
(charging indi-
cator on the BC-139 blinks orange).
• The desktop charger, BC-139, can only be charged BP-217.
Other types of rechargeable battery, Ni-Cd or Ni-MH, can-
not be charged.
• If the charging indicator blinks orange, there may be a prob-
lem with the battery pack
(or charger). Reinsert the battery
pack or contact your dealer.
• The optional CP-19R and OPC-254L can be used instead
of the supplied AC adapter
(BC-123). Connect one of these
to the [AC ADAPTER] jack in this case.
