BC-119N
R WARNING! To reduce the risk of injury,
charge only specified Icom Ni-Cd, Ni-MH
or Li-Ion rechargeable battery packs.
Other types of battery packs/cases may
burst, causing damage and personal
injury.
R USE INDOORS ONLY! NEVER expose
the charger to rain, snow or any liquids.
NEVER let metal, wire, etc. touch any
internal part of the charger.
NEVER incinerate used batteries. This
may cause an explosion.
NEVER use the charger when it is covered
by objects which impede heat dispersal.
Place the charger in a secure place to
avoid inadvertent use by children.
AVOID charging in conditions of extreme
cold
(under 10°C; +50°F)
or extreme heat
(over +40°C; +104°F). Batteries may not
charge under extreme temperatures.
Keep the charger away from TV sets or
radios to prevent interference.
R NEVER attempt to charge alkaline or
dry cell batteries. They may burst causing
damage and personal injury.
Make sure battery and charger contacts are always clean, otherwise batteries may not fully charge.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS! 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.
2. 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 bat-
teries must be purchased.
There are 2 desktop charger adapter types
for the BC-119N. One has a PCB, the other
does not. 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.
DD
For the PCB types:
Connect the plugs of an appropriate desktop charger adapter and the BC-119N, then
installed the adapter with the screws
(sup-
plied with the adapter). For some versions, the
desktop charger adapter is already installed.
• Installing the PCB type adapter
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.
DD
For types requiring the AD-75/AD-88:
Install the optional AD-75 or AD-88 to the
BC-1 19N with 4 screws
(supplied with the AD-
75/AD-88), then attach a desktop charger
adapter to the BC-119N. See the transceiver’s instruction manual for an approved
desktop charger adapter.
