DRapid charging with the BC-119

The optional BC-119 provides rapid charging of battery packs.

NEVER attempt to charge dry cell bat- teries. This will cause internal liquid leakage and damage the battery case and transceiver.

The BP-195 or BP-196 BATTERY PACK in- cludes rechargeable Ni-Cd batteries and can be charged approx. 300 times. Charge the battery pack before first op- erating the transceiver or when the bat-

One AD-81 and an AC adapter (may be supplied with the BC-119 depending on version) are additionally required.

•Charging periods: 1.5 hours (w/BP-195) 2 hours (w/BP-196)

NEVER connect two or more chargers at the same time.

Charging may not occur under temper- atures of 10°C (50°F) or over tempera- tures of 40°C (104°F).

When using BC-119: If the charge indicator flashes orange, vehicle bat- tery voltage is low and charging is not possible. Check the vehicle bat- tery voltage in this case. If the charge indicator flashes red, there may be a problem with the battery pack (or charger). Re-insert the battery pack or contact your dealer.

tery pack becomes exhausted.

If you want to be able to charge the bat- tery pack more than 300 times, the fol- lowing points should be observed:

1.Avoid overcharging. The charging pe- riod should be less than 48 hours.

2.Use the battery until it becomes al- most completely exhausted under normal conditions. We recommend battery charging just after transmitting becomes impossible.
