INSTRUCTIONS
DESKTOP CHARGER
BC-190
PRECAUTIONS
R DANGER! Charge the specified Icom
battery packs only. Only tested and
approved for use with genuine Icom battery
packs. Fire and/or explosion may occur
when a third-party or counterfeit battery
pack is charged.
R USE INDOORS ONLY! NEVER expose
the charger to rain, snow or any liquids.
R CAUTION! NEVER insert battery pack
(with/without the transceiver) in a wet or
soiled condition into the charger. This may
result in corrosion of the charger terminals
or damage to the charger. The charger is
not waterproof and water can easily get
into it.
NEVER attempt to charge alkaline or dry
cell battery packs. The BC-190 charges
Li-ion battery packs only.
NEVER let metal, wire, etc. touch any internal part of the charger.
NEVER incinerate used battery packs. This
may cause an explosion.
NEVER use the charger when it is covered
by objects which impede heat dispersal.
Thank you for purchasing the BC-190
d e s k to p c h a r g e r . The BC-190 is

Please read these instructions thoroughly
before using the BC-190.
AVOID charging in conditions of extreme
cold (under +10°C; +50°F) or extreme
heat (over +40°C; +104°F), or unusual
conditions like overvoltage. Otherwise, the
safety/protection circuit in the charger will
activate, then stop charging.
