BATTERY CHARGING
■ Optional battery case
When using the optional battery case attached to the transceiver,
install 5 × AA (R6) size alkaline batteries as illustrated at right. The
BP-226 meets JIS waterproof specification grade 4.
q Hook your finger under the latch, and open the cover in the direc-
tion of the arrow (q). (Fig.1)
w Then, install 5 × AA (R6) size alkaline batteries. (Fig.2)
• Install the alkaline batteries only.
• Be sure to observe the correct polarity.
• Do not pin the ribbon under the batteries.
e Close the cover by fitting in the direction of the arrow (w) first,
then check the latch is in place (e). (Fig.1)
• Be sure the gasket and the ribbon are set correctly, and do not pro-
trude from the battery case. (Fig.3)
CAUTION:
• When installing batteries, make sure they are all the same
brand, type and capacity. Also, do not mix new and old batter-
ies together.
• Keep battery contacts clean. It’s a good idea to clean battery
terminals once a week.
