charge
For a long live and an optimum use, you need to charge completely the battery pack
before the first use.
• Recommended charging temperature. +10°C to +40°C
• Range of temperature (Batt Li-Ion)
-20°C to +60°C
• Only Use the charger ICOM (BC-119) or other model proposed by ICom or TAG
Heuer (BC-152, BC-121N)
• NEVER use adaptator from other suppliers.
• NEVER use chargers from other suppliers.
CAUTION!
Never insert into the charger a battery pack whilst it is wet or soiled.
High risk of corrosion or damage to the charger.
The charger is not water proof and can easily be damaged by water ingress.
Never incinerate the worn battery packs. The gases contained in the battery can
cause an explosion.
Never immerse the battery pack. If there is any presence orf trace of moisture on the
pack, it should be immediately wiped with a dry tissue (particularly the terminals of
the battery) BEFORE fixing it to the transmitter-receiver. The moisture is likely to
corrode the terminals of the battery or to prevent the connection of the battery etc…
Never connect the terminals of the pack battery in short-circuit. In the same way, the
current can run out via the close metal objects, such as collars etc… It is thus
necessary to act with precaution during transport or of the arrangement in a bag or
near metal objects etc…
To avoid keeping the battery pack fully loaded or completely discharged for a long
period, which reduces the lifespan of the battery. In the case of prolonged non-
utilization of the battery pack, it is necessary keep the system in a dry room, after a
normal discharge or to use the battery until appearance of the weak witness of load,
then to extract it from the transmitter-receiver.
In case of a reduced capacity of the battery pack, even after the load, leave the
system ON a whole night to obtain a complete discharge, then reload the
battery pack completely.
Replace the battery pack if the problem continues.
WARNING
Switch OFF the radio during charging to ensure no damage.
RECOMMENDATION
Charge the battery pack provided for a minimum of 10 hours.
With the Batteries Li-Ion it is not necessary to charge them and to discharge them
completely to prolong their lifespan to the maximum.
It is thus recommended to charge these batteries with regular intervals while
taking care to limit the time of load.
