D Using the BC-240 to rapid charge
the BP-298/BP-299
The BC-240 provides rapid charging of only the
BP-298/BC-299 Li-ion battery pack. Never use it to
charge any other battery pack.
Charging time*
with the BP-298: Approximately 3 hours

See the BASIC MANUAL for details.
The following item is additionally required:
A power adapter (not supplied with some transceiver
versions) or the OPC-515L or CP-23L DC power cable.
CAUTION: When using the OPC-515L DC power
cable NEVER connect the OPC-515L to a power
source using reverse polarity. This will ruin the

Questions and answers
I bought this thinking it was a simple ship to shore to call bridges on the ICVW. How do I call on for example, Channel 9?
To call on Channel 9 using the Icom IC-V86, follow these steps:
1. Turn on the transceiver.
2. Push [VFO/MR/CALL] several times to select the memory mode.
3. Use [Y] or [Z] to navigate to Channel 9.
4. Press and hold the Push-To-Talk (PTT) button to transmit.
5. Release the PTT button to listen.
This will allow you to call on Channel 9.
