lOOM INSTRUCTIONS
DESKTOP CHARGER
BC-119N
Thank you for purchasing the BC-119N
desktop charger. The BC-119N charges
a Ni-Cd or Ni-MH battery packin approx.
1-2 hrs., or a Li-Ion battery pack in
approx. 2-3 hrs.
Please readthese instructions thoroughly
before operating the BC-119N.
CAUTION
A 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.
AUSE INDOORS ONLY1 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.
ANEVER attempt to charge alkaline or
dry cell batteries. They may burst causing
damage and personal injury.
Information (U.S.A. only)
The Ni-Cd battery that you have
purchased is recyclable. At the
end of its life, under various state
and local laws, it may be illegal to
dispose of this battery into the
municipal waste stream. Call 1-800-822-8837 for
battery recycling options in yourarea or contact
your dealer.
jjgMake sure battery and charger con-
^ tacts are always clean, otherwise bat-
^ teries 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 orderto get the maximum lifeout 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.
C€
Some versions of the BC-119N
which display the "CE" symbol on
the serial number
comply with the
essential requirements of the
89/336/EEC directive for
Electromagnetic Compatibility.
This compliance is based upon the harmonised
CENELEC generic standard EN50 081-1: 1992
and EN50 082-1:1991.
ATTACHING A DESKTOP CHARGER ADAPTER
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 orad-88). Forsome
versions, the AD-75 or AD-88 is already in
stalled in the BC-119N.
♦ For the PCB types:
Connect the plugs of an appropriate desk
top charger adapter and the BC-119N,then
installed the adapter with the screws (sup
pliedwiththe adapter). For some versions, the
desktop chargeradapter is already installed.
•Installing
the PCB type adapter
See NOTE below
'% 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 thatis compatible with
% charging a Li-Ion battery pack.
OFor types requiring the AD-75/AD-88:
Install the optional AD-75 or AD-88 to the
BC-119N with 4 screws (supplied with the AD-
75/AD-88), then attach a desktop charger
adapter to the BC-119N. See the trans
ceiver's instruction manual for an approved
desktop charger adapter.

See NOTE below
Installing the non-PCB type adapter
A CAUTION
About the 3-pln connector:
When you replace the desktop charger adapter
from the Li-Ion compatible type to non-compatible type, fix
the 3-pin connector to the bottom of the charger with adhe
sive tape, etc., to prevent catching or touching the 3-pin con
nector's terminals with the adapter's leads, etc.
Fix the connector with
adhesive tape, etc

CHARGING OPERATION
Charging example— AD-102 for IC-M1V/M1 EUROV
jg CAUTION
6 The transceiver power MUST be turned
0OFFduringcharging otherwise;
6• The battery will not be charged correctly.
4g•The battery life may be shortened.
^ The transceiver cannot be used even when the
%t power is ON.
AC adapter
(Not supplied with some
versions.)
CHARGE INDICATOR
• Lightsorange whilecharging.
• Lights green when rapid charging is completed?
- Butitis still charging in trickle charge modewhen charging Ni-Cd or Ni-MH batterypack.
• Flashes red when the protection circuit is activated.
- Checkthe powersource (voltage) or re-connect the power plug.
-The battery temperature is outside ofthe charging range. (Ni-MH battery only)
%NOTEfor Ni-Cd/Ni-MH battery packs:
^The BC-119N rapidly charges a battery
^ pack to a specified level, not a completed
% level,to prevent over-charging. Leave the
% battery pack inthe chargerfora few more
% hours (up to15 hours; depending on battery
Sg condition) after the LED indicator turns
% green, tochargethe battery completely.
Use the spacer, if supplied
with the charger adapter, for
charging the battery pack
with/without transceiver.
•3- Recommendation for Li-Ion battery
packs:
Li-Ion batteries are different from Ni-Cd
batteries in that it is not necessary to
completely charge and discharge them
to prolong the battery life. Therefore,
charging the battery in intervals, and not
for extended periods is recommended.

detection circuit for the Ni-MHbattery. When the bat
tery's temperature is outside the charging range, charg
ing stops and the charging indicator flashes untilthe
temperature returns to within the range.
•AD-101 and AD-102 are compatiblefor charging the Li-
Ion battery packs, BP-211 and BP-215, respectively.
The BC-119N may be able to be used with future
