Icom BC-146 User manual

•RUSE INDOORS ONLY! 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 inadver-
tent use by children.
•AVOID charging in extreme cold (under 0°C; +32°F)
or extreme heat (over +45°C; +113°F). Batteries may
not charge fully under extreme temperatures.
•Keep the charger away from TV sets or radios to pre-
vent interference.
•RNEVER attempt to charge alkaline or dry cell bat-
teries. They may burst causing damage and personal
injury.
Make sure battery and charger contacts are always
clean, otherwise batteries may not fully charge.
In order to get the maximum life out of your batteries:
1.Avoid overcharging—batteries must be removed
from the BC-146 to stop charging. Batteries should
not be charged for more than 24 hours.
2. Use the batteries until they become almost com-
pletely 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 batteries must be pur-
chased.
