When using the BG-DU or BG-DU-REG pins 2 and 3 of the male Hirose plug connected to the unit's input must be left unconnected as these are used for communication with smart batteries. Hawk-Woods users can solve this issue by rewiring the male Hirose plug (leaving pins 2 and 3 un-connected) or by removing 2 solder jumpers inside the BG-DU or BG-DU-REG.
