Tabletop Charger (quick charger) BC-501, BC-503
Set 110/220V select switch at 110V position for AC input of 100-120V,
or at 220V posiion for AC input of 220-240V. Drop the main unit with
the battery pack into the slot of BC-501 or into any slot of BC-503 .
Full charge will be attained in 60-90 minutes. The charger will
automatically turn to trickle charge after the quick charge.
CAUTION1: Shock or ambient temperature outside 10-40°C will
change status from "quick” to ”trickle” before full charge is
reached. Put off power and reinsert the radios. Avoid use
at a room temperature above 40°C or below 10°C.
CAUTION2: For security purpose, do not leave the FM-55 or its battery
pack in the charger more than necessary.
NOTE: Beware of AC supply. Transceiver is usable during charging with
a tabletop charger. If TRICKLE or QUICK lamp is not lighted, the
charging contacts on the bottom of the battery pack are not in
contact with the charger. Adjust the positioning of the pack back
and forth, or left and right. The FM-55 can only be charged
