User manual ICOM BC-119N

[. . . ] Please read these instructions thoroughly before operating the BC-119N. ATTACHING A DESKTOP CHARGER ADAPTER There are 2 desktop charger adapter types for the BC-119N. The non-PCB types require an additional PCB (AD-75 or AD-88). For some versions, the AD-75 or AD-88 is already installed in the BC-119N. D For the PCB types: Connect the plugs of an appropriate desktop charger adapter and the BC-119N, then installed the adapter with the screws (supplied with the adapter). [. . . ] R NEVER attempt to charge alkaline or dry cell batteries. They may burst causing damage and personal injury. only) The Ni-Cd battery that you have purchased is recyclable. At the end of its life, under various state and local laws, it may be illegal to dispose of this battery into the municipal waste stream. Call 1-800-822-8837 for battery recycling options in your area or contact your dealer. Make sure battery and charger contacts are always clean, otherwise batteries may not fully charge. These instructions contain important safety and operating details for the BC-119N. An appropriate desktop charger adapter must be purchased separately to charge your Icom battery packs. In order to get the maximum life out of your Ni-Cd batteries: 1. Avoid overcharging-- batteries must be removed from the charger to stop charging. Batteries should not be charged for more than 15 hours after the LED indicator turns green. Use the batteries until they become almost completely exhausted under normal conditions. If your batteries seem to have no capacity even after being fully charged, completely discharge them, then fully charge them again. If they still do not retain a charge (or very little), new batteries must be purchased. Some versions of the BC-119N which display the "CE" symbol on the serial number comply with the essential requirements of the 89/336/EEC directive for Electromagnetic Compatibility. This compliance is based upon the harmonised CENELEC generic standard EN50 081-1: 1992 and EN50 082-1: 1991. Not used See NOTE below · Installing the non-PCB type adapter See NOTE below NOTE: Some of the PCB type desktop charger adapters (incl. AD-75/88) do not need connection of the 3-pin connector. The connection is required only for the installing adapter that is compatible with charging a Li-Ion battery pack. R CAUTION Fix the connector with adhesive tape, etc. About the 3-pin connector: When you replace the desktop charger adapter from the Li-Ion compatible type to non-compatible type, fix the 3-pin connector to the bottom of the charger with adhesive tape, etc. , to prevent catching or touching the 3-pin connector's terminals with the adapter's leads, etc. Icom, Icom Inc.

See the transceiver instruction manual for the appropriate adapter information. NOTE for Ni-Cd/Ni-MH battery packs: The BC-119N rapidly charges a battery pack to a specified level, not a completed level, to prevent over-charging. Leave the battery pack in the charger for a few more hours (up to 15 hours; depending on battery condition) after the LED indicator turns green, to charge the battery completely. Recommendation for Li-Ion battery packs: Li-Ion batteries are different from Ni-Cd batteries in that it is not necessary to completely charge and discharge them to prolong the battery life. Therefore, charging the battery in intervals, and not for extended periods is recommended. SPECIFICATIONS Dimensions (proj. [. . . ]
