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-88). For some versions,
a PCB is already installed in the BC-119N.
NOTE: The BC-119N may be able to be
used with future transceivers. See your
transceiver's instruction manual for the
appropriate adapter information.
D For the PCB type
Connect the plugs of an appropriate
desktop charger adapter and the BC-119N,
then installed the adapter with the screws
(supplied with the adapter). For some
versions, the desktop charger adapter is
already installed.
• Installing the PCB type adapter
See NOTE below
bout the 3-pin connector:
NOTE a
The 3-pin connector is necessary only for the Li-
Ion compatible type adapter. 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 adhesive tape, to
prevent catching or touching the 3-pin connector's ter-
minals with the adapter's electrical parts.
D For types requiring the AD-88:
Install the optional AD-88 to the BC-119N
with 4 screws (supplied with the AD-88),
then attach a desktop charger adapter
to the BC-119N. See the transceiver's
instruction manual for an approved desktop
charger adapter.
• Installing the AD-88
Not used
See NOTE below
• Installing the non-PCB type adapter
Fix the connector
with adhesive
tape.

CHARGING
Charging example– AD-106 for IC-F3260 Series
Power adapter
(A different type, or no
power adapter is supplied,
depending on the version.)
Optional OPC-515L* (for 13.8 V
power source) or CP-23L (for
12 V cigarette lighter socket)
can be used instead of the
power adapter.
*
CAUTION: NEVER connect the OPC-515L
to a power source using reverse polarity.
This will ruin the battery charger.

inserted, it may have some
problems.
* It is still charging in trickle charge mode when
charging a Ni-MH battery pack.
IMPORTANT:
The transceiver MUST be turned OFF
while charging. Otherwise:
• The battery will not be charged correctly.
• The battery life cycle may be shortened.
Do not transmit while charging. When
you need to transmit, remove the
transceiver from the charger, and turn
ON the power.

AD-106 charger
adapter is installed
in the BC-119N.
NOTE:
• After charging is completed, the
BC-119N automatically recharges a
battery pack when the battery voltage
decreases. If the battery pack is often
left in the BC-119N for long periods
of time, the battery life cycle will be
shorter.
• The AD-88 has a temperature detection
circuit for the Ni-MH battery. When
the battery's temperature is outside
the charging range, the AD-88 stops
charging and the status indicator
flashes until the temperature returns to
within the range.
