• The charge indicator blinks orange (or orange/green alternately)
when the protector is activated.
r Charge the battery pack approx. 10 hours, depending on
the remaining battery charge.
• The charge indicator lights green when charging is completed.
■ Optional battery case
When you would like to use the optional AAA(LR03) size bat-
tery case (BP-251), install the batteries as illustrated below.
Be sure to observe the correct polarity.
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 battery contacts clean. It’s a good idea to clean bat-
tery terminals once a week.
• When using the optional battery case, output power level
is 2 W (at high; except German version).
NOTE: The transceiver may sink when the optional battery
case is attached. (Depends on the weight of the installed
batteries.)
