Sets the Battery protection function from LI (Li-Ion) (default) and OFF. LI(Li-Ion): ➥ The transceiver does not memorized the transceiver ON/OFF condition when battery is detached, and automatically returns to OFF condition even if you detach the battery with the transceiver ON condition.

13 CLONING Cloning allows you to quickly and easily transfer the programmed contents from one transceiver to another transceiver. ■ Transceiver-to-transceiver cloning q Connect the OPC-474 CLONING CABLE to the [SP] jack of the master and sub-transceivers. • The master transceiver is used to send data to the sub-transceiver. POWER ON AT Y], turn power ON to enter w While pushing [FUNC] and [Y cloning mode (master transceiver only— power ON for sub-transceiver).

14 RESETTING FUNCTIONS ■ Partial reset AT POWER ON If you want to initialize the operating conditions (VFO frequency, VFO settings, set mode contents) without clearing the memory contents, a partial resetting function is available for the transceiver. ➥ While pushing [CLR], push and hold [PWR] for 1 sec. to partially reset. ■ CPU reset AT POWER ON The function display may occasionally display erroneous information (e.g. when first applying power).
TROUBLESHOOTING 15 If your transceiver seems to be malfunctioning, please check the following points before sending it to a service center. PROBLEM No power comes ON. POSSIBLE CAUSE SOLUTION REF. • The batteries are exhausted. • Replace the batteries or charge the battery pack. pgs. 9, 13–15 • The battery polarity is reversed. • Check the battery polarity. p. 10 • Battery’s temperature protection circuit is ac- • Cool down the BP-227. – tivate. • Rotate [VOL] to suitable level.
16 OPTION ■ Optional UT-108 installation q Remove the optional connector access cover (named 2251 OPT sheet). • Insert a screwdriver into the hollow of the chassis, then lift and take away the cover. (The removed cover cannot be used again.) w Attach the optional unit. Insert the connector firmly to avoid a bad contact. • Remove the paper baking of the optional unit before installing.
