D ANTENNA

The antenna screws onto the trans- ceiver as illustrated as at right.

2-2 Turning POWER ON

Rotate the volume control to the 12 o’clock position.

•A power-up alert tone sounds for about 2 sec. and an open- ing message may appear. (Depend on pre-setting.)

•Then the LCD shows user information.

(depending on pre-setting).

NOTE: If the power-up alert tone does not sound or a channel number does not appear on the display, turn the transceiver OFF, check the battery, then turn the trans- ceiver back ON. If the power-up tone still does not sound or a channel number does not appear, charge the battery or replace it.

3-1 Caution

NEVER incinerate used battery packs or battery cells. Internal battery gas may cause an explosion.

NEVER immerse the battery pack or the battery case in water. If the battery pack or case becomes wet, be sure to wipe it dry BEFORE attaching it to the transceiver.

NEVER short terminals of the battery pack or battery case. Also, current may flow into nearby metal objects so be careful when placing battery packs in handbags, etc.

If your battery pack seems to have no capacity even after being charged, completely discharge it by leaving the power ON overnight. Then, fully charge the battery pack again. If the battery pack still does not retain a charge (or very little), a new battery pack must be purchased.

DRecycling information (U.S.A. only)

The product that you have purchased contains a recharge- able battery. The battery is recyclable. At the end of its life, under various state and local laws, it may be ille- gal 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.

3-2 Battery case

When using the optional BP-194 attached to the transceiver, in- stall 8 AA (R6) size Alkaline or Ni-Cd batteries as illustrated as at right.

When installing Ni-Cd batteries:

•Make sure all cells are the same brand, type and capacity.

•Never mix old and new batteries.

Either of the above may cause a fire hazard or damage the transceiver.

When installing dry or alkaline cells:

•Never connect DC power to the transceiver. Such a con- nection always charges the installed batteries and will dam- age the transceiver.

DLOW BATTERY INDICATION

-When appears, battery capacity is becoming low and transmitting is impossible.

-When flashes, battery capacity is nearly exhausted.

3-3 Battery charging

Prior to using the transceiver for the first time, the battery pack must be fully charged for optimum life and operation.

CAUTION: To avoid damage to the transceiver, turn it OFF while charging.

•Recommended temperature range for charging: +10°C to +40°C (+50°F to +104°F)

•Use the Icom’s charger (BC-119/BC-121 for rapid charging, BC- 110, and BC-133 for regular charging) only. NEVER use another manufacturers’ chargers.

•An optional cable OPC-254L(for 13.8 V power source) or CP- 12L (for 12 V cigarette lighter socket) can be used in-stead of the AC adapters of the supplied charger.

DWith the BC-119 or BC-121

The optional BC-119 and BC-121 provide rapid charging of optional Ni-Cd battery pack/s.

The following are additionally required:

•Only one AD-81 for the BC-119; six AD-81s for the BC-121.

•An AC adapter (may be supplied with the BC-119 depending on version; The optional AC adapter, BC-124, for the BC-121).

When using the BC-119 in the vehicle: If the charge in- dicator flashes orange, the vehicle battery voltage is low and charging may not be performed. Check the vehicle battery 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.

DWith the BC-133

The optional BC-133 provides regular charging of optional Ni-Cd battery pack with/without transceiver.

The following are additionally required:

DWith the BC-110 or an optional cables

CAUTION: Only Ni-Cd batteries can be charged. NEVER connect a wall charger when dry or Alkaline cells are in- stalled in the BP-194 BATTERY CASE— the transceiver and/or battery case may be damaged.

CAUTION: Even if the power source has enough capac- ity, the [CHARGE] jack can be used for charging purposes only. You can not operate the transceiver without an inter- nal power source.

Connect the optional BC-110, CP-12L or OPC-254L to the [CHARGE] jack on the transceiver as illustrated below. Be careful of battery overcharging as the connected battery is charged simultaneously..

•Approx. charging period: 15 hrs.

•DO NOT turn power ON while connecting the BC-110A/D/V. Current capacity is insufficient.

•AVOID over charging. The charging period should be less than 48 hours.
