In order to get the maximum life out of your Ni-Cd batteries:
• Avoid overcharging—batteries must be removed from the
charger to stop charging. Batteries should not be charged
for more than 15 hours after the charger indicator turns
green.
• Use the batteries until they become almost completely
exhausted under normal conditions.
Be careful of the battery pack’s temperature—when
the battery pack is extremely cold (especially for Ni-MH
batteries), the charger cannot charge the battery.
When the charger is not in use, disconnect the power
adapter from an AC outlet. The power adapter consumes
power when connected to the AC outlet.
When the operating period becomes extremely short after
full charging, the battery pack has reached the end of its life
and a new battery pack must be purchased.
An appropriate desktop charger adapter must be purchased
separately to charge your Icom battery packs.
PRECAUTIONS (Continued)
DISPOSAL
The crossed-out wheeled-bin symbol on your
product, literature, or packaging reminds you
that in the European Union, all electrical and
electronic products, batteries, and
accumulators (rechargeable batteries) must
be taken to designated collection locations at
the end of their working life. Do not dispose of these
products as unsorted municipal waste. Dispose of them
according to the laws in your area.
Some versions of the BC-121N/BC-121NA
which display the “CE” symbol on the serial
number comply with the essential
requirements of the 2014/30/EU directive for
Electromagnetic Compatibility. This compliance
is based upon the harmonised CENELEC generic standard
EN 61000-6-1:2007 and EN 61000-6-3:2007/A1:2011.
NOTE:
If your battery packs 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), a new battery packs must be
purchased.
